It's larger and sturdier than I expected.  Be careful with the fasteners as there will be no extras.  Mine was missing one of the cam locks.  The desk is comprised of 4 pieces of "wood", so there are joints on the desk.  It is not just one solid piece.  It comes in two boxes, which can be delivered on different days.  Fitting the metal pieces together may require extra hands because the clearances are tight.  The desk part and the file cabinet are not connected with farmers, so you can treat these as two separate pieces and arrange them as you wish.  The drawers on the file cabinet are not particularly smooth.
