This desk looks great.  I was worried about assembly as others that have been purchased were hard to put together.  All the parts are labeled and the directions are clear.  There was one small screw that was defective but we had one on hand that we used.  This one wasn't too bad.  It does take 2 people to assemble as it is heavy and you need to flip it over once the legs are on it. The top is in 2 pieces but they fit together and are strapped underneath with metal brackets so it will not separate.  It looks good!  I was happy with the rustic brown/black color.  The desk is very sturdy and should last a long time.  I would buy this again.
