The desk arrived in a timely fashion and there was no damage to the box. The instructions recommend 2 people for the assembly, and I must say for me this was definitely a must. There were so many pieces, but all were labeled. This job took about 3 hours total (but I’m not very handy). The finished product was amazing! Even though the legs are skinny; this desk is quite sturdy. I love the modern look it gives to my study area.
