I absolutely love this desk.  I use it in my home office and it is perfect.  There is no assembly.  Just fold out the legs and push the top down.  It can also be folded down and put away if needed.  The tops is very study as well.  I spend a lot of time leaning on it staring at numbers on my 17" lap top and the top does not give or show that it may weaken in the future.  There is also plenty of room for a small lamp, notebooks, and other things you would want on your office desk.   I recommend this to anyone.
