This desk is beautiful as advertised and extremely sturdy. The desk is extremely difficult and time consuming to assemble. I had my boyfriend and friend who builds furniture put it together and they were able to assemble it in about 3 hours. The desk came missing a piece and the original side drawer was slightly crooked. The company sent me replacement parts promptly. I absolutely love my desk but I caution buyers about the assembly. It is absolutely possible to assemble but takes a lot of time, you will also need multiple types of screw driver heads. 

Pros: Durable, beautiful
Cons: Hard to assemble
