I needed a smaller desk so this one was very similar to the one I had but 19 inches less width wise. It took me about 1 hour to put together but that’s only because there was some issues with my parts. As you can see in the pictures, seems like one of the horizontal pieces was longer then all the others and I wasn’t able to get it as sturdy as it should of been and it also caused there to be a gap between parts. Another really irritating thing is, I assembled this on my couch because of a recent surgery I had prevents me from bending down, and some hair like particles were all over all the parts, it’s almost like fine glass. I’m not sure what it is but it is so hard to get out of my furniture and it’s causing much itchiness to our body. After put together the desk looks really nice, I just wish it was as study as other say theirs is but I know it was because of that longer piece.
