Longer than I expected - but it works perfectly for my computer and the papers beside it.  Two of the screws were supposed to have hex heads but didn't.  My husband used pliers to hold them while he screwed them in.  Otherwise, easy to put together and a nice finish.  Able to put a small cabinet underneath it and could still sit on the other side of it to work on computer.  Like the wheels so I can easily move it when needed. Good value.
