Took 2 hours to put together but I am careful and really lots of parts. I find the end result very acceptable for the price. I would think this is definitely not for heavy use. I needed somewhere to set my computer, laptop and purse and keys. It is not wood and has cloth drawers- one bottom support for drawer was missing-I used a piece of cardboard to suffice. I think if you want something inexpensive and for light use go for it.
