This desk is no joke to put together! Took me 4 hours by myself. Its missing a very small spot of finish on the decorative edging under the desk top where the chair goes, other than the only complaint I have is that its partical board - every inch of it is made sawdust and glue. They did a really good making it look like its not but it still is. It is heavy (113 lbs) so I recommend assembling it where youre going to put it.
