The desk was very time consuming to assemble which was not surprising from other reviews. What made it difficult was the instructions were pictures only, no words of instruction. Now that it is mostly assembled, we had to call the company because one of the hinges was the wrong one. They are sending it. And the drawer didn’t line up correctly. That may be fixable but we’ve called the company at least 4 times for various questions and that has not gotten to the top of the list. The customer service is very helpful. The desk looks good and seems sturdy. I marked it down because of the massive number of pieces to put it together and the lack of written instructions. The company could easily provide a video or at least written instructions on their website if they don’t want to print them.
