I got this in the darker finish, and I do have to say it LOOKS fantastic, which is why I give it 2 stars instead of 1.  Also, while it took a long time to put together, the instructions were clear and well-written. However, 1) This is probably my fault for not looking at it more closely before buying, but I didn’t realize that the top drawer is NOT a file drawer. I think maybe it is designed to put a DVD player in 2) While you can use the top drawer like a normal drawer, it sticks and is hard to open and close. Something doesn’t fit properly. And 3) The bottom drawer IS a file drawer, but you have to use legal size hanging file folders, otherwise it sags in the middle. My files are all letter-sized, but I solved the problem by getting legal sized hanging file folders and just putting my letter-sized manilla folders in them. Anyway,  overall this piece was a disappointment, although it looks very sharp.
