Love this desk. Much heavier and more sturdy than it looks. Also, the stain is a good shade or two darker than in the photos. Luckily I read this in another review, so I expected it and actually love the color. Just don't want anyone else to be mislead. Took about 10-15 minutes to assemble - if that. Used a second person to help hold the legs in place while I screwed in the support piece, but it could be done by one person if in a pinch. Great purchase for the price.
