This is a beautiful desk. I’m glad I purchased it too. I put this desk together by myself it took me about 30- 45 minutes. The picture of the tools on the instructions I did use two different screwdriver styles and one hammer. That’s it. When it’s time to use the little Silver screws there are already pre-mini holes in the wood you just have look down closely on the wood. I didn’t have to make new holes either.
