It took about two hours to assemble it wasn’t very difficult the construction of the desk feels nice and solid   One of the corners has a slight dent either from shipping or due to assembling.  I thought the color was going to be a bright white but apparently antique white is more of a cream color so for our purpose we will have to paint it white.  The two drawers do not smoothly move in and out and they’re just a little off centered so you can see a gap on one side where the other drawer might be a little higher or lower.
