I purchased this table about 6 months ago and it's just what I wanted/expected. Having shopped around for the perfect fit/look for my decor, I couldn't be more happy with this purchase. The table is as SOLID as they come (as a desk should be), with a beautiful (real) wood finish. Assembly was a bit tricky, took a good two hours, but in the end, it was worth it. I've recv'd several compliments on this piece since adding it to my room. I would definitely recommend this item to others.
