ASSEMBLY. **Believe all the reviews that indicate difficult assembly.** 
The desk itself is decent and sturdy enough. However, I’m giving this 3 stars because I could NOT assemble the desk by myself. The instructions say the screws are “threading screws” and require initial force for the first few turns. I am not a weak gal, but I was hopeless without my husband and without a drill. The end product is good and I am keeping the desk, but would only recommend if you have the strength and power tools to assemble!!
