It took 3 of us more than a couple hours to build it, but the instruction were right on! I chose not to add everything on top, it works better for me without the cubbies and shelf. Over all, I'm finally very happy to have it, it's a great desk for my corner. It was in the box for 3 months before we had the time to put it together, that's why this review is so late. 

Pros: Everything fit together and it came with good instructions. It's sturdy, and rich looking.
Cons: The color was much darker than the photo, and it took a long time to build.
