This desk is exactly as advertised!  Simple profile and easy to put together. The box was a bit heavy - 50+lbs to get in the house and moved to a spot where I could unpack it. It took 2 of us about 45 minutes to assemble.  Directions were visual and easy to follow - all the necessary parts were included (plus extras if we had needed them). It's just what I had hoped it would be - enough space for working on my laptop and a bit of covered storage to keep the top clutter free.
