The instructions are easy to follow and it me 4 hours to assemble from start to finish. The overall completed desk looks great and I love the additional storage and the L shape completes the look. 

I'm giving this two stars because of an issue I experienced while assembling the left side panel to the top of the desk. The left panel is holding too much weight and the screws completely tore out of the panel. This happened during the very last step - so I had already spent 3.5 hours on this desk. This was a pretty huge bummer. I was able to re-screw them in but I will not be able to move the desk because it's too risky it will detach at any movement. Also, the sliding draw will not go in any further.

Overall this is a very good-looking desk but lacking in the quality department. The price is nice though and if you don't know about the left panel issue, it looks and feels like a very high-quality desk, which is great.
