I love the finished desk it's very solid and looks amazing in our guest room.  They were a lot of parts but I identified them all by laying them all out.  The instructions were easy to follow and all the parts lined up.  I did appreciate the humor about halfway the instruction manual suggested it would be a good time for a coffee break.  Allow plenty of time to complete the task, by myself it took about 2 1/2 hours (including coffee)
