The desk is stylish and highly functional and at a reasonable price point.  Shipping:   It took about 3 weeks to arrive and was delivered in perfect condition;  Assembly:  It was easy to put together if you like pictures as much as I do.  The holes lined up nicely and didn't cause us additional drama.   All said & done, it's about as good as it gets for non-heirloom quality furniture.   LOVE IT!
