The desk was exactly what I expected. Shipping exceeded expectations. I was told the desk would take 4-5 weeks to arrive and it came in one week. The instructions were clear and came with the only tool you needed to put it together. I think it took me about an hour to construct it. My only complaint is that one of the screws was too long and extends partially down underneath the desk top. I put it in the back though and it isn’t a problem. I love it!
