This is a heavy, sturdy desk in a lovely color and structure. The top being in all one piece made getting it out of the box itself really difficult, as well as getting the legs on simply because probably that one unit was 70 lbs, but made assembly go quickly. The only disappointing thing was that the surface of the desk had several small depressions in the wood, indicating that the wood is soft, and that something pressed against it during shipping or boxing. It's not enough to deconstruct the heavy desk and return it, but dissatisfying to buy a new piece of furniture and find it already flawed.
