I am one of those weird people that actually likes to put together furniture. However, this was by far the worst piece of furniture I have ever attempted. It started off with the Styrofoam explosion listed in other reviews. It then took me FIVE hours to put this piece together. Like others have said, the only thing holding the two main pieces of the desk together are two metal plates. I would be wary to move this desk in the future. The directions are very unclear for many parts. There were a few times in which the directions given were wrong and I had to redo pieces to make them fit. Finally, the only reason we chose this desk was because of the keyboard tray. The holes that were drilled for the pieces that support the tray are about 1/4 inch too far apart so the tray just slides right off. Very disappointed with this item.
