The picture makes the desk look like it had more grey colors in it, which is what I wanted, but is not. It's a very dark brown. Yes I ordered the dark oak color, but the picture is very deceiving. Also, the bottoms of the drawers are so thin I don't trust anything of weight or substance in them. It also doesn't hold square very easily - as a whole it wants to twist and not remail straight. The wood is also VERY easily Scratched. We put many scratches in it (that are super white) while assembling it. I'm gonna try coating it with polyurethane to add a layer of protection. It's a pretty desk overall, but I would not buy again.
