This is a GREAT desk for home or small office use!  Wood color is dark, with grey rather than red undertones...Love the display shelf across the front!  Drawers are ample in size (and yes, dovetailed), but the rest of the desk construction is not as careful (lots of staples)...Still, sturdy and not wobbly, extremely easy to put together once you get it out of the complicated protective packaging!  On that note, it took three tries to get two acceptable desks to our home.  One desk had clearly been dropped and broken beyond repair, the other two were damaged in the same place: the front right lower corner of the display shelf, one of the weakest spots construction-wise.  OhSoCapable spouse was able to repair these, and time was of the essence for us, so we kept them and were given very fair adjustments to the price by Wayfair to make up for our trouble.  By the way, I find their customer service to be EXCEPTIONAL, which make shopping with them so much less stressful!
