Overall, the desk is pretty cute. I wish the detailing was black, and not gray, but it is what it is. It was pretty difficult to put together - the perspective in the drawings in the instruction  manual is very confusing, and we messed it up and had to take things apart a few times before we (almost) got it right. The front of the drawers have some gaps in them, but again - that's to be expected of something you put together yourself. Not a terrible bargain for the price.
