The desk is as pictured.  It is very pretty and a lot of room. I gave it 4 stars because the ledge that the paper sits on for the easel is kinda small and it doesn't run the full lenght of the easel. It would have also been nice to have a drawer somewhere on the desk although one knows that when you order. I had this assembled through Wayfair and would highly recommend that service as it was done quickly and professionally.
