I am not at all impressed with this desk or its assembly instructions with pictures of screws and parts that are nothing representative of the piece. I have had my share of put together furniture and this is definitely one at the bottom of that list of easiest to assemble. The parts should be marked clearly with removable stickers or something. And the screws and other parts should be clearly identified if you dont show very good pictures. The attachment hardware for the backer isnt even long enough to reach. I will be adding some sort of bracket myself...if I could fit this back into the box it would be coming back.
