This desk was easy to assemble. Truly. The instructions were clearly written and included several QR codes and weblinks in the event video instructions were needed. Every screw had an actual hole for it (not true with another piece I purchase and had to forced the screw in with a hammer and hand strength). The desk itself, once fully assembled, looks higher end than it's cost.
A word of caution, if you have a wide monitor and don't plan to put it on a monitor stand, measure the width of your monitor to make sure it isn't TOO WIDE for the desk surface. My monitor is too wide and has to be on a monitor stand to avoid hitting the shelf on the right. Lesson learned!
