Beautiful desk......however, the directions are insane.  They instruct you to make the drawers one at a time, consequently, the same directions are repeated over and over and over, etc.  Making all the drawers at once makes much more sense.  This is not a quick assembly, takes hours.  If you are not handy with tools and have no patience with insipid directions, hire someone so you don't pull all your hair out over this.

That being said, the desk is beautiful.  Comparable to my friends similar Thomasville desk at one fifth the price. They are kicking themselves that they didn't do their research and missed this gem.  Love it so much, buying another one for the husband.
