FIRST-The description of this desk says it requires assembly but it does NOT. The desk comes fully assembled. Nice surprise and glad I did not choose to pay for assembly. The desk is beautiful. I’m incredibly happy with the choice. It’s bigger than I expected even though I measured...but in a good way. More work space is just what I need with this desk. Beautiful tones in the wood and the hardware is sturdy. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!!
