I absolutely love this desk. Color just like its pictured online. Instructions were VERY easy to understand, and is probably one of the best instruction manuals i've ever seen. I put this bad boy together by myself in about 2-hrs, with my co-pilot 4 month old puppy assisting me! I think it's awesome that the manufacturer had enough common sense to send the hardware and whatnot's along with an essential item....WOOD GLUE!!!! So tired of having to go to the home improvement stores to by my own, that this was a welcomed and appreciated bonus find! I would definitely recommend this desk!
