The desk looks very nice but this was the DIY project from hell. The instructions are very difficult to interpret and not all of the parts are properly marked. The small parts were strewn throughout the box which required every part to be removed to find all the small parts. One section required 3 parts to be held in place while the screws were secured; very difficult if you have only 2 hands. The drawers are very difficult to align and there is no mention in the instructions regarding alignment. The drawers required removal and replacement several times to get the alignment correct. Once finally together, it is a very nice looking desk. I should have paid for the assembly...it would have been well worth the money.
