It’s pretty, but it wasn’t painted underneath and is even scratched up on the underside where it was painted. It is all real wood, thank goodness, although they picked a really defective piece for the underside of one of the drawers and filled it with wood filler and didn’t bother to paint on top of it so it looks pretty awful, but you would notice only if you sit under the desk, which I think only a child would do.  It bothers me because I like things to be perfect from any angle. Also it smells really strongly, I think it is the paint. My husband keeps telling me to put it outside.  The inside of the drawers are nice clean hardwood. And the legs are just gorgeous no scratches or anything, hardwood painted white. It was really easy to assemble, you only had to put the legs on.
