Yes, it's expensive....but the gloss white finish is gorgeous.  However, that finish is also fragile so be extra careful with it.  Was delivered well packaged and not a blemish on it.  Drawers function nicely.  You'll need 2 people to set it upright....this beauty is heavy and you don't want to stress the glass panel connections.  My only wish is that they would have offered the white desk with either a clear or frosted glass end....the smoked glass is too much contrast for the white desk in my  opinion.
