I absolutely LOVE this desk! It was very easy to put together, and I did it myself. I will say that the screwdriver that came with the unit was useless, and I used my own Phillips head screwdriver. The directions come in pictures. It took a hot minute for me to figure out the first step, but it came down to logic. From then on, it was a breeze. It is the perfect size for my guest bedroom that I am now using for a home office. I have put it together and now waiting for my equipment to arrive for my new "work at home" job. It is very sturdy and the brown finish is just beautiful. I purchased the smaller of the two sizes. (I added my own basket to the top shelf.) This desk met all of my expectations and then some! And of course, the price was right! Thank you Wayfair, I am now a loyal fan!
