Well, received my desk yesterday and put it together myself. It took me about 5 hours and a blistered hand but I got it done. The instructions were really good though I had to re-read a few parts a few times to "get" it but overall they were good. Turning the desk over one time to put the back and side on was difficult as it weights half as much as I do and it was awkward so be prepared. I'm pretty bummed about the top but the crack isn't super obvious...I won't ask for a new one because I am not taking that thing apart. Hopefully it will last for a long while. I really like the way it fits in my living room / small office corner.  

Pros: Good instructions, good looking desk
Cons: Be careful taking it out of the box, I recommend opening the whole box up rather than trying to slide out the pieces.
