This desk was the simple piece that I needed for my bedroom but assembly was quite intensive (dozens of different screw types and wood pieces to keep track of) and I was disappointed to find that after hours of putting it together, it promptly fell apart after i tried to pull it away from the wall. The instructions "recommend" that you put glue into the holes where the pieces fit together, which I did, but make sure that you're using something strong meant for wood or it will not hold. I expected the desk to be nailed or screwed together but the assembly mostly relies on short wooden pegs sliding into holes which doesn't result in a very study final product.
