I am really pleased with this desk! It looks just as good in person as it did in the photos! I found it easy enough to put together, however, we did use a drill with a bit for the allen head wrench- which made the process very easy. The glass is heavy, I would not have been able to put that on myself, definitely something to be aware of if you order it! Unlike other similar looking desks in this price range, this was by far the best quality for the price- wood is gorgeous, glass is beautiful and thick (and clear!), and the desk is very sturdy.
