LOVE THIS DESK! It arrived when it was supposed to and thankfully the delivery guy was able to bring it into my home because the box was pretty heavy. Once I got it open the directions were very straight-forward. I had NO PROBLEMS putting it together by myself, even when the instructions called for an assistant. Took about 2.5 hours to assemble alone and once it was all said and done it was exactly what I needed and wanted! Soooo very happy with my purchase.
