Okay, first of all it took me like four hours to put this desk together because yes I did it all by myself while watching TV on a every nice Sunday afternoon. I do wish the instructions were a little more detailed because I mixed up a couple pieces from front to back so I had to take one of the tops apart once but other then that my son loves it. This desk is a lot bigger then his last desk and with shelving which is a plus for me. I’m hoping it will help keep him organized.￼￼
