Beautiful Desk! Super Sturdy! I am sure it will last a very long time. Definitely worth the high price tag. I was overwhelmed by the package when it came. There were two boxes, each weighing over 100 pounds. However, everything was packaged securely. So many foam boards and plastic wrappings to make sure the desk is secure from any breakage during shipment and handling.  I am impressed at how detailed the instructions were. It was extremely precise and accurate. Thought I would have to figure some parts out myself but it's actually super thorough and step by step process. Better to build it with two people because the desk is heavy but if you take your time, you can probably build it yourself. Super rewarding at the end!
