This desk looks exactly like the picture. I was redoing my nieces bedroom and was looking for something that looked a little more streamlined than a traditional desk plus I was using a very tight space. It’s not the most high end desk but for a teenager doing her homework, it worked nicely. We also added a glass top to the desk just to protect it from everyday use-I highly recommend this because the item is not real wood. Also, as some other buyers have noted there are hundreds of pieces to this assembly and it took two people and at least an hour to put this together. ￼￼
