I LOVE this desk, however... I am not the best at putting things together and the directions came with no written explanation. I could figure everything out except for the special screws... Otherwise it took me about two hours to put together the entire thing, but I left out the drawer because either there was no place for the screws for the tracks to go into or I could not find the place. So I LOVE my desk... with no drawer. It has quite a lot of storage space for a "writing" desk. 

Pros: beautiful and lots of storage and desk top space
Cons: Putting it together
