Extremely sturdy desk and love that the configuration is reversible.  Instructions were fairly clear but be sure to look at the provided photos for each pieces orientation during construction. It has a lot of storage and the desk top is very spacious. Perfect for a corner spot in my daughter's bedroom. The top arrived a bit damaged with a deep gouge. I was able to repair it with some wood putty. The natural wood top has a bit of a texture to it (it's not completely smooth) so I'm interested to see how it wears. 
All components arrive in 1 very heavy box.  Make sure you have help to move it around.
