So many frustrating aspects for this desk, but I like the end product. Takes almost an hour to get it up a flight of stairs and dispose of the box. Took at least 4-5 hours with 2 people. Some of the parts weren't labeled adding to confusion. Also instructions aren't perfectly clear on how to position some wood pieces. There is a scratch on the side, not sure if I made it or it came that way.  BUT, I like the desk and got to spend quality time with wifey putting this together :)
