This desk is absolutely gorgeous and only took me about an hour to put together. Very high quality. You can definitely tell that a little extra money was paid for this rather than buying some cheap $200 desk. I am extremely happy with this choice. It is very heavy so be prepared for needing help unpacking, pulling the desktop out of the box, and then flipping over when finished. Also, no assembly instructions in the box but PAY ATTENTION to your email or your orders on the Wayfair site. There is a link to a .PDF for instructions.
