This desk was horrible to put together. I am very good with putting things together and have put together desks, entertainment centers, and many other items. This was by far the hardest thing for me to put together. The instructions are just pictures that are not very clear. There are pictures that show holes where there are none and things do not line up properly. The desk would not stay together as I followed the steps and put the pieces where they said so I ended up putting screws in spots that they were not meant to be in order to make it stay together.  If it would not have been more of a headache to try and put the pieces back in the box I would have sent this back. I did not want to waste my money so I finally got it together with me pulling out my drill and extra screws to add in other spots. I like the look of this desk now that it is together but I would NEVER purchase this same desk again.
