The wood on this desk is very nice and has a great finish on it. While the picture on the site doesn't really reflect the accurate color or the stain, the other Rae furniture shows it better. Very easy to put together and it is extremely sturdy. I would definitely buy products from this manufacturer again (Sitcom). A very good deal, as this desk is going for $600+ on other websites.I also purchased the matching office chair, which is semi comfortable. The arms are a little high, but it complements the desk nicely.

this desk is very sturdy and the weight of the materials is substantial. assembles in minutes! the walnut veneer looks fantastic. i should mention that the top shelf is movable and can be placed anywhere---BUT the foam bottoms on the feet of the shelf came askew. looks sloppy. i can probably correct them by ripping them off and replacing w/ new ones. no biggie. what a bargain!
