Although it took one day to unload all the parts and pieces and to haul them all to the office, then another full 1.5 days for assembly, the finished desk is amazing! It looks even better than the photo and makes the office/guest room look stately and custom. 

My only concern is the joined part at the L shape (It's more like two pieces butted up together) leaves a slight lip and isn't quite as flush as one might want. Additionally, the file cabinet is a tight fit. After inserting the hanging folders, there is no headroom for the actual files tabs. I plan to make this work with smaller folders. I can't say enough how lovely it looks and feels.
