This is a nice, all solid wood desk, especially for the money. The instructions were easy to follow, and the assembly fairly easy. Very easy if you are handy. It took me 3.5 hours, and that included trying to better align the long front drawer. Even after trying to reposition the tracks it still sticks . The other three are nice and smooth. One suggestion: make sure the dowels are completely seated or you might  strip the tightening screws. It is soft pine. But I am happy with it and may order another
