There is no way you can get a better desk for this price!  The desk top is solid wood and you only have to attach the legs..they screw on.  Only drawback maybe is the desk top weighs at least 100 lbs and we had to carry it up a staircase .  Solid and gorgeous. It was packed well but still had 2 small scratched areas on the ends but not that noticeable due to the antiqued finish. So glad I got it.
