Expect to spend a few hours assembling this desk. the instructions on the drawers are vague, but the rest is simple to figure out. once it's assembled it's very hard to move, but it's sturdy for being particle board. my only complaint with it is how thin the veneer is on it. also, invest in a staplegun for the cardboard backing panels, because the nails are worthless.i rated 4/5 based on cost vs functionality. if you compared this to a pre-built solid constructed desk at a furniture store it would rank lower. but for being particle board and inexpensive, it's not bad.
