This is a great desk but was very tedious to put together. It took two of us about two hours. I actually needed the drawers on the right side and the lip of the top does not cover the top of the drawers and extends over the back about half an inch. Look closely at the picture! This is definitely really meant to be on the left side. Overall, I’ve had this desk a few months and the drawers glide smoothly, it is easy to clean, and is very durable.
