Incredibly easy to assemble.  Instructions are very descriptive and pictures support the description.  Components fit together nicely and did not require extra time and effort.  Essentially it's nice to actually have something work the way it's supposed to.  The finished product fits nicely into our small office space and encompasses the modern design we envisioned.  The only critique is the small drawer space.  The top and middle drawer will not hold 8x11 paper and the bottom drawer has limited hanging file space.  However, we overcame the drawer space with filing cabinets.  We highly recommend this product for those that have smaller spaces.  The finished product looks excellent and has plenty of work space ---- and thankfully was very easy to assemble.....
