Shipping took a month, Crew that delivered was within the window they gave us. We ordered two for our home office came in two boxes each desk. Just built the first, took me 10 hours spanned over two days for the first desk. Cant be more pleased with the finish and its sturdy feel. I wont be attaching the pen/keyboard drawer. I like the legroom. The top of desk has three open ports for cable management. My Desktop computer fits inside its shelf and the other reviewers had stated that the backer for both cabinets looks bare like pictured on the back but i just flipped the wood print out to look unison. If i were to ever have my desks not up against a wall. The backer has two holes for cable management as well. Love this desk. A huge upgrade from the ikea desk i had for three years!
