I LOVE this desk! It was perfect to transform my entryway office into a beautiful space. I liked the deskbookcase combo as is, but I had a few leftover rolls of gold patterned peel and stick wallpaper from another project. It just happened to be a PERFECT match for the gold tone of the desk, so I went for it! The result feels so custom and fits my style. I really like the additional storage space provided by the bookcase, too. Assembly was pretty easy, following the picture instructions (Im an engineer we like specifications!). I highly recommend this desk.
