I’ve had this desk for about a year now, I bought the walnut color or whatever. It looks even better in person, is sturdy and beautiful. The drawers silently open and close and there are rubber bumpers for the door. I was able to build it all myself except for the end where I needed help lifting the heavy top. Definitely recommend. I did use wood glue that I bought from the hardware store to better secure all the dowels and bits so this desk could be as sturdy as humanly possible (which it is).
