This desk was easy to put together and looks  good when the top cover is on. I was able to assemble the whole thing alone in couple of hours with the easy-to-follow instructions. I’m giving this desk four stars instead of five because the pilot holes in the two separate particle boards aren’t as on point as they should be, and to get the screws in, I had to leave a small gap in between the boards in the back. Also, the top cover isn’t a metallic or foil design as it might appear, but instead, it’s just a screen print. 
Overall, I would recommend this desk.
