I do not assemble many things but if you just take the time to lay out all the parts according to the diagram, you will be fine. The drawers are a bit sticky and can glide better. All the parts feel solid and sturdy. lay the parts down on a soft surface so you don't scratch up the surfaces. The shipment come in 2 parts. The main desk piece was chipped upon arrival and I contacted Wayfair right away and they shipped a replacement part within a week. Customer service was good and quick.
