This desk is GORGEOUS!!! I assembled it by myself but did end up needing help to flip it over when I was finished. The color is like a browngray washed look, and it’s very sturdy! I can’t wait to get the home office finished! I ended up buying the credenza separately from a local furniture store but it matches almost perfectly. I am very happy with this desk!! Delivery was fast, and although the box had no damage, there was a small mark on the desk. It sort of blends in with the distressed look, so no biggie.
