I ordered the largest size of this desk for my teenaged grandson, who needed something for both school work and gaming.  It took him 30 minutes to assemble once he had it out of the box and had spread out the parts, and reported that it was “easy” to put together.  As I heard no swearing or loud thumps coming from his room, I believe his assessment is correct.  If it’s not “easy” to put together, I don’t think it’s hard.  The desk is very sturdy and the wood is a lovely deep color.  It looks quite expensive.  My grandson likes it very much, which was my goal, and his mother is happy he has a desk that will last him well into adulthood.  This is a good buy for the money and looks modern without being so trendy as to look out of style within a few years.
