The desk was shipped and received as promised. The box was heavy, about 150 pounds so it is better moved with another person. The end result is beautiful and it is a very sturdy desk. The only con is that the assembly is very time consuming. There are many pieces and a lot of hardware but in the end, it is worthwhile. 

Pros: Beautiful, Sturdy, and a great size for limited space but will look great in any area
Cons: Assembly is time consuming
