Had to be assembled upon delivery but my handyman service made quick work of that job.  I tried as I had done one other chair a couple of years ago but the arthritis in my hands would not allow me to do this one.  I ordered it in white and it looks really nice with my small, antiqued white computer desk.  They sit in one corner of my guest bedroom and blend nicely with the white and ivory furniture pieces.  There is good storage in this unit for paper, data items such as flashdrives, disks, and for extra printer cartridges.  The desk is holding my All In One Printer, copier, scanner, fax and I am able to sit comfortably and use my laptop and yet the two pieces do not infringe on the roominess of the guest bedroom.
