You can see from the picture it's a good looking desk.  It's also very stable.  There are maybe 10-12 pieces to assemble, and it's quite simple.  The primary leg structures are welded, then you connect the cross-bars.  It came with 28 screws and an Allen wrench key.  You only need a Phillips head screwdriver.  Easy, peasy...maybe 30-40 minutes max. 

The only real complaint is what someone else mentioned...the edges are sharp--not sharp like a knife, but they kind of press into your forearms a little.  First, not a big deal.  Second, I could just lightly hit the edges with a hammer, but it's not necessary.

A+ desk for the money.  Great value, great look, easy assembly.
