Not the greatest piece to assemble.  Several predrilled holes were not large enough to accommodate the spindles to be screwed into the holes.  When too much force was used, the edges of the holes broke down and showed the weakness of the pressed board composition of the pieces. The top of the spindles, where the screwdriver is used, is made of very flimsy metal as the screw heads quickly were not capable of being turned by a screwdriver.  I had to use a pliers on the spindles themselves to turn the screw so it would go into the predrilled holes. The directions, merely pictures of the various pieces and how they are supposed to go together, took more guessing and trial and error than necessary.  However, once the pieces were put together the desk looks very good.  A good value if you don't mind using some extra effort in putting the puzzle pieces together.  It took me 2 hours.
