This is a great desk for the price.  It took about 2 hours for two over 70 year olds.  I was surprised to see the top in two pieces.  From the pictures I posted you can see that the drawer assembly is done first.  The top is done in two pieces.  There is a smaller board that lines up with the drawer assembly.  There was no reason for two boards because you put the wood on last and it could have been done in one step. You can easily see the seam and that is why I gave only 4 stars.
