I am pretty handy but took over 6 plus hours with 2 people to assemble.  Would have returned it, but how can I fit it all back in the box. Some duplicate piece were NOT marked and with sooo many pieces to put together, it got a little confusing.  It does have a lot of work space, but somewhat flimsy and I wouldn't recommend moving it around. Too bad cuz it looks like a great desk but not worth sending my whole day trying to assemble it.
