Bought this for 14 year old son who was a bit rough with the last antique desk. Pleasantly surprised at how nice this desk looked and he loved it as well. It has held up to computer games, homework, gum, and crumbs. And it still looks great.  There were numerous pieces. Make sure you sort all items. It took two of us well over an hour 1/2 to put this desk together. The only complaint.. the trim around the bottom of the desk drawers-- when he spins and moves around in his chair, the trim is a bit sharp. Guess he could just sit still.
