Easy to put together, the packet of screws, bolts, washers, etc.  were well numbered and easy to follow from booklet to packet. I really had a lot of fun putting it together.  I would like more companies to copy its simplicity in assembling.  I started to have my 7yr old grandson help me, however, his interests were in the tools that came with the  desk.  When the desk was assembled he just loved it.  He sat down at the desk and started to put a writing pads into the slots of the desk and placed his electric pencil sharpener on top, and was ready to do his school work at home.  He likes math.  I liked the white desk that was advertised, but when I spoke to the operator they only had ebony, I'm sure glad we got ebony, it looks so rich!  Thanks  mas
