This is a nice desk. Very heavy and well built- even if it is mdf.

The Washington Cherry color is darker than it appears in the pics on the site, but not bad. See my pic for a better color match.

Easy to put together- took me about an hour.

Note- it is HEAVY. I'm a good sized guy and usually have no issues carrying things. I had to use a dolly to get this up the stairs in the box- would definitely be easier with two people.

the only negative of the desk is the edges of the top are a little too sharp / pointed for me. No way to fix that, but I've gotten used to it.
