The finished product is beautiful, but took two of us nearly 8 hours to assemble.  The Assembly Manual consists of 35 pages of small scale drawings with no written instructions.  The manufacturer included 2 tubes of glue in the assembly parts but both were too dried out to use.  We substituted Elmers Wood Glue which was a better choice anyhow.

Pros: Great looking desk for the money.  Sturdy after assembly.  Many nice features.
