It took several hours to assemble, but not difficult to solo complete--and the final result is JUST like pic!  I just wish the "L" center leg (a cute design) could be inverted--as it would be perfect for concealing wires and CPU (for those of us who still use desktops; and where desk is, like the pic, placed in the middle of the floor). As a side note (to Sauder, Bush et al), it would be great if the side shelves/file cabinets were configured to attach on either side (ie., file cabinet on RIGHT side) as some of us are LEFTIES!
