Just got this desk for my husband's home office. Love it! The gray color is exactly as pictured/described and the size is perfect. It's in a smaller bedroom and the size is perfect and functional with the return. As others mentioned it does take a while to put together but no issues and it's worth it. Actually love that it comes in a reasonable size box and delivery was a 2 hour window, on time! Very happy once again with my Wayfair purchase.
