This is just the most beautiful little desk. It took me about an hour to put together--it was only hard because the instructions weren't very clear about which side a piece of wood should be facing. Thank goodness I've put together plenty of Ikea in my day and could figure it out. For me, the drawer is hard to shut--you have to give it a bit of a shove, and it's not completely even with the bottom of the desk (even when I uninstall the piece of wood that makes the front of the drawer and reinstall it upside down). This is not a high-quality desk but it is a very cute desk. If you're really planning to use it, I hope you'll get a glass top for it so you don't wear off the finish. Take your own measurements if you do get glass cut--the desk is SLIGHTLY longer than the measurements listed.
