It's actually about an inch shorter than the website description. That doesn't sound like much but, visually, makes a huge difference. It does not look like an executive desk. My husband has not arrived home yet, so I don't know if it will touch his knees.  Also, the legs are made of a cheap plastic and the color no way matches the body of the desk, or otherwise make sense.  Neither the website photo nor the narrative prepared me for the unsightly legs. Very disappointed with that. Also, one drawer does not line up properly. All-in-all, a disappointing purchase. Update: the drawer is even further off track so that it won't open or close properly. Drawer cannot be used at all. I arranged through Wayfair for the assembly. The company who put it together did a poor job. Wish I could get my $548 back!
