Great piece, looks very expensive. I My husband assembled the desk (put on the legs and drawer pulls) in around  20 minutes, no complications. The drawers slide very nicely. The back is mirrored it can be oriented with the back facing out-- nice if you want to float the desk and not have it placed along a wall. I am converting our office into a combined office/dining space, so the desk can be used as a buffet when it's not a writing surface. Love it.
