love the desk! I put it together all by myself in about 4-5 hours across 2 days. I'm 5'2 and 130 lbs so it wasn't the easiest job, but i was capable. i would still recommend using another person to help move and place the bigger/heavier pieces with you. it would've been easier that way but i'm miss independent and wanted to do it alone. overall the directions are easy to read and follow and the pre-placed/pre-drilled holes make it super easy to put together.
