This just the perfect desk for me, I really like the design and how elegant this desk looks. Starting off the packaging was perfect, everything was fully protected and nicely wrapped. Assembly was really easy and the instructions were really clear and simple, I actually put this together on my own in about an hour. The color is perfectly and truly a dark walnut (which I love) and has a really elegant wood look to it. I really think where this desk excels is the accessories that come with, I love the back rails that not only give a really nice look but also are functional. Being able to white a white board and a document holder included is really amazing. This desk is really everything I needed and more. The only thing I would say is the base runs a little on the thin side, but not to a point where its a dealbreaker for me.
