A bit of a rocky start. The first desk arrived damaged, but Wayfair sent another. It was easy to put together and is very heavy. They aren't exaggerating the solid wood. The desktop and the drawers are all one piece. My husband put the legs on and that was basically it. There are a few flaws on the desk. The corner is chipping (maybe damaged in shipping) and there is a flaw on the top of the desk, but these things aren't worth returning. This is why I took off one star. Overall, I'm happy with the size and quality.
