This desk was very easy to put together, just add the 4 legs. The legs are very light, might be hallow? The first day and they already show sign of paint wearing off on edges. The two drawers are not the smoothest at sliding. If you are going to use the drawers a lot, you might get frustrated with them. I am using it as a vanity in my bedroom so I can deal with it. I am covering the top with contact paper to dress it up and prevent damage to the top.  Overall you get what you pay for.
