The desk was quite easy to put together, until the very last step. The little metal piece that holds the two desktop pieces together would not go in to save my life. I unscrewed and screwed the screws at least 6 different times, then finally gave up. Since the metal piece isn't secure, one of the top pieces will pop up, but it's not a big deal. The package came damaged, but that's not wayfair's fault, but it was packaged well so even with the damage to the box all the pieces were fine. The box was extremely heavy, I basically had to roll and scoot it in the door :) It's a decent desk for the price.
