I love the desk and it looks exactly as pictured.  Perfect combo of function and still looking great/unique. The only thing is that one part of it was missing the part that the screws drill into (so they were just empty holes and couldn't actually be secured during assembly.) It wasn't worth the hassle of sending it back so I am just letting gravity do the trick, and hoping that the correctly setup drill holes on the other half hold it together.  So far no issues.
