The writing desk is beautiful and elegant. It is exactly as it is advertised in terms of size, color, and features. The only concern is the amount of time I spent to assemble - it took over four hours because of the number of pieces involved. For example, the drawers are individual pieces of wood, tracks, nuts and bolts.
If that is not a problem for you, the end product is an elegant desk which would most likely sell at a much higher price if purchased assembled.
