Do yourself a favor and listen to ALL of the reviews telling you assembly is a pain and just order the assembly. I ended up trying to put it together myself, took me 2 hours to get to the second page of PREPARATION and then finally said screw it and booked  with handy (Wayfairs assembly app) and ended up spending and extra 20 than had I just ordered it at the same time as the desk. The 
 desk is nice, not an extremely high quality desk but it’s a get what you pay for kind of thing. There are some scratches and bigger marks on it but nothing that’s going to keep me from using it. Over all I’m satisfied with it!
