Have had this desk for two months now. Like a lot of other people said, it is NOT easy to get together. I had my two sons, both of which are very handy, having had a father with a Class A contractor's license, put it together. 3 hours later it was not done. They could not get one area together so I thought a hole was not drilled correctly. Called the manufacturer who was very nice and helpful. Sent them pics and item number, etc. They realized that my sons put two pieces on in the wrong place. (Pieces looked the same and did not appear out of place, even after I was told they were) Had my oldest come back out and redo that portion then finish it out. That took about another hour altogether so 4 hours total to get this together. Not a simple project. That being said, it is heavy duty and quality materials. Love, love, love the size. I have plenty of room for more than one lap top plus bins to organize mail and supplies. I do wish it had one drawer for pens, etc.
