The color is perfect! The size is pretty good, too. However, the top of the desk has about a 6 inch overhang off the back so if you put it up against a wall like I did there is going to be about 6 inches between the back of the desk and the wall. I guess it makes it easier to plug/unplug things as needed but you can see the unsightly cords when you look at it from the side. Also, the 2 top drawers don't sit correctly on the tracks so I have to lift them slightly as I pull them out. I tried removing them and reinstalling them and even switched them from one side to the other. It's almost like the holes were drilled just a fraction of an inch too low. For the price, I wish it was better quality.
