This desk really looks nice and is very sturdy. I didn't give it 5 stars because the top drawer brackets were missing.  I'm going to have to call and ask for them to be shipped.  We used temporary L brackets to hold it in place until we receive the brackets.  It was shipped in one box, well packed with very good instructions for putting it together.  Be prepared to spend a day building it.  It required two of us and took over 4 hours.  Nothing is prepared for you, you will have to put every screw and drawer glide on it yourself.  It looks expensive.  It's a gray brown color and looks a little rustic which is exactly what I wanted.
