This desk is BEAUTIFUL! It is simple yet glam. I put it with a black velvet dining chair and it goes well. It is mirrored on all four sides so it does not have to be placed against a wall. The middle drawer can either flip down or pull out. The knobs on the drawers are a nice touch. I love mirrored furniture and look for it every where I go. If you can catch it on sale then Wayfair has the most amazing prices on mirrored furniture!
