Nice desk for the price. It was fairly easy to assemble. It says 2 people and for the most part 1 person can do it, except for the end. But I was able to get it together by myself, but yes easier with another pair of hands. The only thing I would have liked to know ahead of time is that it is intended for the desk to be placed on a wall. I was not putting it up against the wall and the front panel was the beige pressed board color. So I turned the front panel around to show the white, and the privacy panel under the desk now has the beige instead of white. I also had to paint the the edges of the pressed board that showed, white. But it turned out fine and wasn't too hard.
