The pieces look as in the pictures, and they were perfect for my home office. The only little snag I encountered was that the desk didnt come with instructions but Wayfair customer service took care of that - the instructions were sent via email, kuddos for top notch customer support! The instructions were easy to follow and I had no problems assembling all the pieces in this set mostly by myself. This was part of my first order to Wayfair, and everything I ordered was easy to set up.
