I bought this as a gift for my daughter and am pleased on several levels. It was at her door within 3 days of ordering, all wood pieces arrived in good condition with all the proper hardware and it was easy for her to assemble. I haven't seen the desk but she says it's very sturdy and she loves the look! Thank-you Wayfair!

The desk itself is beautiful, however if you are purchasing the desk to put in the middle of an office no can do, the back is not finished. If you are placing it against a wall I highly recommend. I did have some unforeseen issues that were out of wayfair's control a small crack in the top and the top of the desk was a little warped, Wayfair handled it like a champ, there customer service is out of this world.

Not a bad purchase if youre looking for something inexpensive. The black does have bright red areas as the distressed look so if you need something all black, this isnt it. However, there arent a ton of those marks so it doesnt stand out from a distance. It works for my needs

It is a nice desk, but, I was not aware that there are red accents on the front. The description does not say that it shows red. It is just listed as a black desk. I will have to either return it or paint over the red.

I have purchased many Wayfair items and this is the first one I'm not very satisfied with. First off it is not very sturdy. Even when opening the one drawer the whole desk wobbles and shakes. The drawer is not smooth at all. There should be something in the description about the red lines throughout the desk. I assume it is to make it look distressed but it looks like my kids wrote on it with a red sharpie. The size and look is exactly what I was looking for but the product is just not sturdy and I'm afraid it won't last to long.
