The desk fairly easy to put together!  Make sure to use the directions.  It is most helpful to ensure right part goes on right section.  Do not use an electric drill on any part!  THE DRAWER PIECES CAN EASILY BE CONFUSED!!!!  USE DIAGRAMS!!!! It is sturdy, small desk.  It fits well in the small corner of my Queen Cave.  I put some items on the desk so that you can get a scale of size.  I would recommend this desk.  #auntniecyapproved
