This desk is super easy to assemble and is very sturdy! The walnut top is more wood brown than the grayish color pictured. A great piece! It does not have holes in the top for lamp or laptop cords, but it is easy to drill one in before assembling to accommodate cords. With the lipped sides and storage on the back side, your cords will be visible and draped all over - easier to have a hole drilled in.  

Pros: Sturdy, easy to clean
Cons: No hole for cords to hide
