I absolutely love this deski and for the price it was an unbeatable deal.  I happen to have a tiny bedroom and needed a small by functional space for my laptop and a few small desk accessories and this desk gives me the perfect amount of space without the bulk.  It is Black, and has a nice smooth finish.  I had a piece of glass cut to fit the top so that it will stay looking nice.  It has a slide out drawer that can be used as a keyboard holder or for storage.  Very awesome desk!
