When the box arrived i was ready to return it as its weight was unexpected!! I had anticipated a small desk and therefore lighter.
 It had to be put together piece by piece.
Without a drill it would have been impossible as the bottoms of the front legs would be impossible to put in otherwise.As all the pieces were not named (the front 2 pieces under the drawers) i had to hunt and deduce and put them in last. The nails and screws were all bunched together and again'ff' and 'fff' screws were the same, i understood that after separating and counting all of them. It took me a very long time to put together.
Once it was all put together it looked nice and the drawers worked smoothly and it fit the description of a beautiful small desk. The effort was more than i expected but its definitely a nice desk.
