My daughters and I were very intimidated when it came in the package. Easy to assemble. It took no time to put together. You will need at least two people to assist. Very challenging to assemble as one person. Very sturdy. Beautifully designed. Worth the money.Caveat emptor.At this point, my rating is based on the company selling, not the item itself. I have no idea what the desk is like yet because I just received information from the shipping company that delivery is "curbside ONLY" - but that delivery into my building is available at an EXTRA CHARGE. There is NO mention of this prior to purchase. How many purchasers are planning to set up their desk in the street? ...or have the ability to move a 201.5 lb desk around?Be mindful of the weight (202 lbs) because it took 2 people to get it in the office and to put together. It's only 5 pieces but each piece weighs about 40 lbs. But once we got it together you'll definitely receive the WOW factor for your office. It's huge, beautiful, sturdy, very good quality and I absolutely love it. You could fit 2 people comfortably behind the desk. This is definitely a great buy for the price.This reception desk really surprised us. It is solid, sturdy, and well made. It looks very nice in our store and we are very happy with the desk.By far the best value. Saved a lot by urchasing online. It took a couple of hours to assemble by myself, but well worth it. It adds a level of professionalism to the office.I was tremendously impressed with how I made this desk was. This is the reception desk in my office and gets a ton of use! I have had it for over a year now and I've not seen any scratches wear or tear. This desk is heavy! Even comes with a pen to cover up any Nicks or scratches, but I didn't need it.Great quality of furniture. Great priceGreat value for the money. Gives the office a professional look.
