This is a great looking desk.  I am using it in a home office and I bought it for its size and coastal features.  It took my husband about an hour to put it together, but we did have it delivered to the room it was being used in, because the box was fairly heavy.  The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the picture of it looks more creamy white, and it isn't, but it will still work with the colors of the other furniture pieces.  I always admire the packaging with Joss & Main!
