This desk is just as pictured, and I'm quite pleased with it. The finish is extremely nice, and the desk was very easy to put together, although a little heavy for a senior to manage on her own.
The only thing that is a little disappointing is the size of the drawers. From the picture, I expected that they would be shallow, but what I didn't expect is that they don't extend the full depth of the desk. For example, when I sit at the desk, it's about 23" to the other side (across the desk in front of me), but the drawers are only about 13" in that direction. They're OK for a few pencils and a small pad, but for heavy duty storage of office supplies, you'll probably need something else.
