The desk itself is beautiful and fits in my study area perfectly, be aware it's a little wider than it looks. The assembly was horrible though, it took my fiancé like forever to put it together, the directions are all mess up. If you buy be aware you will spend a significant amount of your day/night putting this together. The desk also has a few burned wood spites on top... and it scratches super but super easy. I am keeping it because it's the only one that fits in my study room :(... Good Luck.
