If I could give this desk 0 stars I would. This is impossible to assemble without hiring someone. And then even with a professional handyman, we will had issues because the parts are not well made. For instance, the wooden pieces do not line up perfectly. In addition, the first one we ordered was so bad they sent us a second one. However, they would not pick up the original desk and we have no way of disposing of it in the trash in our town--the costumer service person I spoke to actually suggested we find a "church" or "business" dumpster to illegally dispose of it (seriously). So now we have pieces of broken desk in our garage. If this desk was $100-$200 it might be worth it because you expect to get what you pay for. This product is WAY over priced for the quality.
