I was dreading the assembly on this desk after reading other reviews, and it turned out to be very simple.  Two people can put it together in about 15 minutes with just a phillips screwdriver.  The center drawer wants to lean out a little, and not close flush, but we filed it down to fit better.  It would be nice if it had a latch to secure it closed if it is not being used for a keyboard.  The shipping was very fast, and it was well packed. Overall the desk looks great in my daughter's room and is a good value.
