The top isn't quite as nice looking as the photos, just because it's 4 pieces put together.  That said, I am happy with it for the price and everything fit together great, the instructions were easy to follow, and it looks great for what I need it for!  If it were in a high visibility area, or my desk at work, I think I might prefer one solid piece on top.  Anyway, I'm very happy with what I got for the price.
