Took many months to find one with the right measurements and this was perfect.it definitely took several hrs. I did order a lift for the computer which will come in a couple of days and a computer chair. My granddaughter  absolutely loves her  desk
I would suggest that you use a drill, it definitely much easier.
Directions was easy to follow, 
I absolutely love it, it’s heavy pieces and would last you many years.
Thankyou Wayfair
