The desk looks as expected from the pictures, fits the little nook in my room perfectly. My complaint was that the desk came damaged. More than likely damage that occurred from shipping but disappointed none the less. Since I was in such a jam and really needed the desk I just decided to keep it with the damaged and attempted to fix the drawer with wood glue. Its been fine the last few months, its functional we just have to careful because the drawer doesnt move as smoothly as it should.
