I’m in love with the design and look of this desk BUT the assembly is not easy. My husband is a contractor and father an engineer and this is as far as we’ve gotten after 3 12 hours. It’s not difficult per day but very time consuming. If you plan to assemble yourself, plan for at least 4-5 hours. Im still giving 5 stars because I love the desk and it’s quality. PS- I also got the carpet from Wayfair and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Highly recommend to brighten any room.
