I really do like the desk, it looks just like it does in the pictures, however, it arrived damaged. My husband does not like to order furniture for that reason, but I talked him into it and of course it came damaged :-/ The other problem is that who wants to try and rebox and ship back a large piece of furniture. It is a nice desk though and very easy to assemble with great instructions though. They even have all the screws separated and labled which was awesome so that's why I'm giving it a 3.
