Love this desk! It is exactly as pictured. Very sturdy and really gorgeous. Love all the storage with the 2 drawers, and shelf on top and on the bottom. We were even able to use the space underneath the bottom shelf to store books as well! The metal legs are a nice touch and actually allow for some creative storage options i.e. we used a metal magnetic hook to hang headphones. 
The desk took a couple of hours to put together, mostly by myself with the help of an 11 year old, but overall was pretty easy, just tedious. Instructions were simple enough though we did get very stuck at one point and took apart and put the pieces together multiple times before realizing our mistake argh! No fault of the instructions though. 
Overall, highly recommend!
