I purchased this does for my office that also doubles as a guest bedroom for my mother whenever she comes out to visit. It took my husband and I about 45 minutes to put together.  We read over the directions and it was pretty simple to put together. It took longer for us to get the heavy boxes into the house and to get the desk out of the boxes then it took for us to put it together. I am a little worried that it may not be as sturdy  as I would like for it to be.  It has silver tabs to lock everything into place. However my concern is the drawers I’m worried that it might not hold everything. The bottom of the drawers are thin I’m afraid that they would start to bow out over time  The bottom of the drawers or thin I’m afraid that they would start to bow out overtime. The rest of it is fine. Only time will tell.
