This was one of the least expensive desks I could find from multiple different websites, that had drawers included.  This came with so many pieces! It took about 2 hours to put together.  It wasn't difficult at all, it was just a lot of steps. This is not a piece I would recommend skipping any page of the instruction booklet.  Follow it to a T, like you're supposed to, and you'll be fine. It's a little smaller than I expected but that's my own fault as the measurements are listed. It looks nice and if you want to change out the drawer pulls, it could really elevate the look. I would recommend this desk. It was $199, come on!!
