This is a very nice looking desk once assembled. It is very heavy, and I found it to be a two person job. This is a desk that can be configured left or right and you need to keep that in mind. The directions will not tell you this. Also, assemble the credenza first, then add the desk return. The return is super heavy and will not hold together as you try to move it! I did add 4 of my own l brackets and its much more secure.
