It’s pretty easy to assemble. One person can definitely handle assembly. The two tone top is a little strange- it makes it feel like two different pieces of furniture. The drawers are made of canvas which makes them look a little cheap and they make a bit of noise when you  slide them in and out as a result. It has a hook on the side that I’m not really sure the purpose of. My desk chair fits nicely under it and it’s a good height for working. The support bar across the back of the desk is a good height for resting your feet on. The box came with two marble faced pieces that I am pretty sure were not meant for the desk because they aren’t mentioned in the instructions.
