The assembly of this desk was a lot like assembling ikea furniture: time consuming but simple. The height of the desk is perfect I'm 6'1" and find that I fit the desk quite comfortably. The only thing I thought could have been better were the drawers. They just seem a little bit flimsy and uneven. 

Pros: Easy assembly, great value, sturdy, tall.
Cons: Uneven and flimsy drawers.
