We needed a narrow glass topped desk that was still deep enough to use as a true workspace. The package arrived on time and the desk was well packed with glass pieces securely in place with styrofoam. Aside from using a knife to cut through the packing tape, no additional tools were needed (wrench was included!). The desk went together uneventfully. Once we had the desk in place, we added some books on the bottom shelves. The final touch was a small desk lamp; amazing! The desk fits the space and has elevated the look of my husband's new office. Thank you!
