If you are looking for high quality at a reasonable price then you have found it.  It comes in two boxes and it is heavy.  I would tell you to put it together in the area where it will be used.   The instructions are right on, but it does take two people at different stages.  It is worth the time and effort putting this desk together.  We are so pleased and know you will be also to have this beautiful desk in your office.  We are using it in our home office since we are retired.
