The desk is fantastic! For the most part, it was easy to build and only took about 3-4 hours working at a moderate pace. The only issue I had was with one of the holes near the bottom of the drawer-side legs, where the screw wouldn’t line up with the hole when I threaded it through, which resulted in having to enlarge the hole with a drill bit. Other than that, everything was went together smoothly! The wood is a little darker than what is displayed in the pictures, and it is a little smaller than what it appears to be, but for the space I have it in - it’s perfect! Very satisfied overall
