The desk comes in two boxes and are in excess of 100 pounds each ! Thank goodness the UPS guy and myself were in good shape to get them up our stairs. All and all this is a good product and went together without any major issues. The instructions are step by step picture based only, no actual detailed instructions. So take your time and insure you have the right orientation of the parts when comparing to the diagrams (especially drawer rails). I spent time assembling this after work each evening and had it done in 3 evenings. I am happy with the looks and quality of this desk.
