I was really nervous to purchase because you never know with fake wood products. I was even more nervous when the assembly instructions were all illustrations, no words. BUT, the illustrations were detailed enough that I pretty easily was able to match everything up. It definitely took more than the estimated 60min, but everything fit together perfectly and only one piece was a little dinged up and it’s not anywhere noticeable. The desk itself is beautiful, it looks like real wood! Bought this on sale- definitely worth it, very happy with it.
