My husband and my 13 year old son were able to put this desk together in about a half an hour. They both agreed it was very easy to assemble, so no complaints about that! Aside from assembly being super easy we all love the desk! It is exactly as pictured and just what I had wanted! I love the look of this super modern sleek desk! I paired it with a clear blue acrylic "ghost" chair and it looks even more sleek! This desk goes perfectly in my teenage son's room. Five stars all the way!
