Product arrived promptly. There were many parts and pieces. I sorted and placed them in piles all around my work area. I took my time and read the instructions carefully. Thank goodness there were good drawings of the parts in the instructions. It did take about 5 hours by myself but I took breaks a lot. It took 3 cups of coffee and a couple of glasses of wine to finish but the hardware- hinges and drawer rails are quality, It took an adjustment on one drawer to keep it from binding but the desk is solid with ample space and higher quality than factory made with staple guns and all pressboard parts. I am pleased.
