The picture of this desk doesn't do it any justice.  It was extremely easy to assemble. I was hesitate at first about the top but it gives it a rich classy look.  You will need two people to lift and turn it on the legs, but it is a strong and very classy looking desk. Although it arrived with a few bumps on it customer service was AMAZING in responding. ( I got the impression that the delivery guy tossed it off the back of the truck before bringing it to our front door. Highly recommend this purchase.
