The cherry color is rich and beautiful.  A very professional looking desk, great for clients to see when they come to my office.  I like the fogged glass doors, so you can shove paperwork and clutter in there without clients seeing your mess.  I only took off one star because it was very difficult to assemble, very time consuming and heavy, and the finish scratches a little more easily than I'd like.  But otherwise a lovely, large, professional desk with plenty of workspace!
