I (60yo) put this together by myself in about an hour.   Directions were clearly written, there were extra screws, etc., all tools were provided and for just over $100 this is a very sturdy desk.  My only complaint is there's no keyboard drawer and I don't think the desktop is thick enough for me to install one under it (that's on me for not checking, does not affect the quality of the desk or my review).  I'm using this for my laptop and two monitors and am quite pleased overall.  Be aware, the fronts of the drawers are pressboard material, but the other sides of the drawers are fabric.  Still sturdy, but you should be aware.  I'm overall very pleased with the purchase.
