Relatively easy 1-person assembly (2 needed to flip upright)... instructions had 3 step 3s and denote in step 3.2 to input 12 screws, where there are only 8 holes...prepared to ensure good ventilation to wherever the desk is placed due to a strong smell (potentially from wood stain). I assembled it a few days ago, but the smell still remains, but I’m hopeful that it will go away soon, as it’s a good looking desk and works well in the space. Was some slight damage to one of the corners, but it’s not that noticeable. Overall, if the smell goes away, would recommend if you want a modern look.
