I absolutely love the desk!  Beautiful compliment to my home office.  I have received multiple compliments from friends on how nice it is.  It is time consuming to assemble, but well worth the work.  The desk is shipped in two boxes, and at ~100 pounds apiece, I needed help getting them into the house.  All of the parts were clearly marked and the instructions were easy to follow.  As advertised, the desk does weigh 200 pounds.  I have my desk on a hard wood floor and attached self=adhesive furniture pads to the bottom of the desk for ease in moving and so it doesn't scratch the floor.
