We are so impressed with our writing desk !  It is just beautiful !  It really makes a statement  as the wood is just gorgeous!  This is a heavy duty , sturdy made desk that will give decades of use .  This is very easy to assemble .   My husband insists he needs this in his shop  to do his”figuring and paperwork, “ so  now I will be ordering a second one for my home office .    If you need a desk , or just something beautiful yet functional - this is it !!!
