This desk is so very pretty! It also very sturdy and the drawer moves smoothly. It works perfectly in my rustic family room as a computer workstation. The color is very close to what's shown on the website, and putting it together took only a few minutes because the drawer is pre-assembled--you just have to screw in the legs with the included hardware.
One thing to note, the little black paint "distressing"marks you see in the photos are part of the finish and feels a bit like chipped paint. It adds to the shabby chic feeling of the piece to me, and I like it, but if you're looking for a solid finish that's 100% smooth you may not like that.
Overall, I think this desk was a great value and I'm really happy with it!
