Lots of parts and process steps. Directions were excellent with pictures. All parts were well marked. Took about four hours, but not difficult.

Nice presentation

It came well packaged and arrived before the expected date of delivery. My son spent almost 4 hours assembling it because the instructions have to be followed stage by stage. The screws are all numbered. A free screw driver was included but we have a big tool box and electric screwdriver was helpful. You don't need distraction when assembling this piece as you can easily screw the wrong nut in the wrong hole and if the nut goes the wrong way, the wood chips, ?so pay attention to it. Overall, it came out nice and looks sturdy. It doesn't shake. I am not sure about the durability yet as l'm skeptical about the wood. Cons: I did not give it a 5 star because of the wood. It can chip very easily. ?If I saw it in the store, I would not go for it. Secondly, if you don't have patience or a knack for assembling things, do not bother.

Great Desk!

The desk is a very well put together product. Ships in 2 boxes , packed very well as there was no damage. Takes about 1.5 hrs to assemble and all you need is a really good phillips screw driver. One is provided in the kit but isn't very robust.
