This desk is HUGE but in a good way. The only thing I would pay attention to is the height of the desk. As a short person, the desk is a little tall, but I just found a matching desk chair that works. Otherwise it looks great and didn't take too long to put together.

This desk is amazing--it took a while to set up to ensure that it was done correctly--but it looks exactly like the picture. Just like others mentioned, the knobs are cheap looking/feeling, so I will likely replace those, otherwise, the desk is solid and can hold a ton of items. 10/10 purchase!

Arrived on time and undamaged. No to bad to assembled. I had a little trouble with the drawers but it was my mistake. The "gold" was a truly heinous yellow brass color and I knew I would be spray painting the stand before the desk came. I used Rustoleum Metallic bright gold and the color looks great. I updated the plastic knobs. As I assembled the desk I noticed it did chip a bit, so I applied three coats of Minwax polyacrylic vanish to protect it. I am ultimately pretty happy with the desk. Please note that the desk is very tall and I needed a 22" tall seat to be comfortable. So forget about the pretty little vanity chairs.

Very easy to put together. Sturdy and good quality. My only issue is the gold metal color is harsher and more orange-leaning than the photos suggest, so it doesn’t match the other gold accents in the room, which does irritate me a bit. Overall though, a good purchase.

I like the desk, and it seems fairly sturdy. It's pretty much what I needed. But the assembly instructions could have been much better! My advice: study the photos of each step BEFORE you start. I also agree with others who have posted here; the drawer knobs are cheesy and cheap. Plan to replace them.

Not the quality I hoped and expected. Several screws would not fully fit the intended fittings, leaving about 1/8” gap, and drawers require extra nudging to fully close flush. I know the height was taller than I would prefer, but decided it would be okay, but find it is an uncomfortable and awkward height. Plenty of leg clearance, so could have been designed 2” shorter. I painted the exposed chrome side screws white and replaced the knobs, so looks okay.
