Nice work Clarissa. Apart from what you guys are discussing, the lighting feels a bit under powered, or maybe is a contrast thing. If you're reworking the render, try experimenting with that a bit. 🤟🏼
I will play around with it, I think I've only got a sun light through a window and the lamp has a very weak light in it, so there's some room to play around.
Other than the wood grain on the desk being too perfectly striped, very nice. I like all the added details that help it feel like a desk that is actually being used rather than a "showroom" desk.
Actually... at first I was thinking the grain was at least the right direction... however, as I continued looking at it, I realized iefore t has the same flaw I had before I learned about the grain... for your pieces that are more vertical (up and down), if you have the grain going perpendicular (horizontally), the piece will snap on the grain. So vertical pieces should have the grain going more up and down along the vertical column. This makes the wood stronger and able to withstand the stresses better. (That's a detail I didn't know about wood grain until it was point out to me by someone who actually works with wood.)

I have learned something new about wood grain. Also I think I've since learned how to solve the woodgrain problem by uv unwrapping the desk a different way. That wasn't covered in the course I made the desk for (I changed the camera angle and layout of things on the desk, the lesson set up didn't show the side of the desk, just the top)
I will see if I can fix the woodgrain and re-upload; thank you for the feedback.

Excellent work, love everything about it.
Thank you!
