I purchased this desk a few weeks ago and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to assembly this monster project (it took me 2 1/2 days because I wasn’t in a rush). It came in two separate boxes and well packaged. It’s a bit time consuming and confusing especially when assembling the small drawer (adjusting drawer and knob didn’t fit) but nothing a bottle of alcohol couldn’t handle (that’s the reason for the two star deduction).
