This is one of the best purchases I have made; the desk is substantial, sturdy, and stunning! It was a breeze to assemble--just screw in the legs and plug in the USB power source. In fact, it took less time to assemble than to unpack from the extremely careful and thoughtful packaging that protected all of the surfaces. They have even included a USB cable with 3 different connectors; I was able to immediately plug in my iPhone. Highly Recommended.
