Love, love, LOVE this desk!! It is exactly what I was looking for and at a great price. The metal base is a stunning contrast to the BEAUTIFUL solid wood desk. No veneers here. Coloring and grain are true to the pictures. One of the drawers is a little stiff, but hopefully it will loosen up with time.  The packaging was excellent and it arrived without a scratch. So impressed. We've ordered from other manufacturers and had items arrive damaged. Not this time! All the parts were included and it was super easy to put together - less than 30 minutes. Sturdy, solid, beautiful. Fits any decor. I would definitely order from this manufacturer again.
