Great desk for a smaller space. This is a sturdy and well made desk. The color black is muted, not shiny, which is ideal for this buyer. I also like the oak legs that contrast the dark color. The color is smooth and clean of any spraying issues. The desk was a cinch to put together. The only reason I did not give it a 5-star rating is that the drawers are of a short depth--shorter than the desk is deep and not big enough for 8.5x11 paper size. Still, very happy with my choice and produce quality.
