Even though the desk once finished looks like the photo, the number of pieces & hardware to assemble the desk & hutch is overwhelming.  Total assembly with two men (1 a former cabinet maker the other an assembly man for IKEA in the past) was 6 hours the first day with both, & 2 hours the next with 1!  It cost me more for the labor than the desk & shipping.  There were parts scattered all over my small condo in the process of assembly as they laid it out, checked off the pieces, then began assembling it.  If I had it to do over I would have gone looking for an assembled piece of furniture made of real wood.
