Great purchase. I was able to assemble the whole desk with just a screw driver (and a snack as recommended in the instructions). I only needed help from my son uprighting the desk once it was completed. The directions were great and drafted with a sense of humor. As the directions say, Rome was not built in a day, so you should allocate enough time to assemble the desk with patience. Desk is sturdy and everything fits well. The center drawer takes a little jiggling to install. Enjoyed the experience.
