This desk is very heavy. Don't be surprised when the box arrives and it is over 80 pounds! But opening the box I notice that some of the pieces were not labelled and also had a couple nicks. Putting this together was quite the task since it is so heavy, so plan on getting an assistant if you can. However, after putting it together the desk is perfect. The nicks are not even visible. You can not beat this quality for the price. I would definitely recommend this to anyone on a budget who doesn't want it to look like they are!
