This desk took maybe 7 minutes to put together, no tools needed. I loved how easy it was. It’s a simple design and looks decent once assembled, especially for the price. However, considering the price, you also get what you pay for. Although easy to put together, there are some fragile pieces, and the wood-finish is a thin covering over particle board, so any scratches, and they’ll show, even if covered with those touch-up  markers. This desk does the job I needed it to do nicely.
