I really love this desk.  I'm using it as a craft table and I'm super happy with my purchase.  It comes in two, VERY heavy, boxes.  Assembly was easy, especially if you have a power screwdriver.  I can't imagine assembling it with a hand screwdriver.  Directions were easy to follow.  All the parts were there.  I assembled by myself and it took a night to do but that was fine.  It would assembly much quicker if there were two people.  The color of the wood is more of a cream color than white.  I like it better.  Love the storage.  Exactly what I wanted and a great price.
