You really need to be experienced at furniture assembly as the instructions are very light - especially around the drawer glide installation. In the case of the glides, the pictures do not really show how the glides should be aligned and my guide showed the screw holes in totally different places than what had been pre-drilled. The desk itself was at least 5 degrees off level when I finished and I had to add furniture pads on the front to compensate. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM is the drawer is short about 3/8" from actually being able to slide into the drawer glides. Unless you are VERY handy, you won't be able to use the drawer. It will just fall out. I've tried all sorts of things including adding a shim to one side of the drawer to get the glides to reach. I found the 5 gallon paint stir stick is just about the right thickness. But should you really have to go to this much trouble? Don't think so. Keep looking.
