This desk is fantastic...now that it is assembled. I had read the reviews and knew there was going to be a bit of work to put it together, but wow. To say that I was overwhelmed when I opened the box is an understatement. But once I got everything out of the box and organized, it was a pretty straight-forward process, it just took some time (about 3 hours total). 

Now that it is done though, I absolutely LOVE IT! It's beautiful, and everything you hope for when looking at the descriptions/pictures and reading the reviews. 

My advice: don't try to put this together on your own. You'll only frustrate yourself. Plus, you'll need someone to help you hold down the "marble" desk top as you drill through it to attach the hutch. That would have been impossible on my own without several specialized braces/clamps (which I don't own).



Pros: Beautiful desk, especially for the price! BUY IT!
Cons: There are A LOT of individual pieces that make for a slightly confusing assembly
