The desk comes in 2 different boxes and nothing is pre assembled so be prepared to spend a little time assembling it. I found the pictures on the directions to be a little vague so I found a video on you tube for the assembly to be much more helpful. This is not real wood, it's press board with a veneer over it. I have only had it a week so it's to early to see how well it will hold up but it does clean easy with just a damp rag.
This is a perfect desk for smaller areas which is why I purchased it. P.S. do not get the 25mm bolts and the 35 mm bolts in the wrong place during assembly.
