This was very easy to assemble.  The directions were clear - with one small exception -when assembling the drawer the part number changed, but it was easy to figure out what was going on.  This desk was assembled by one woman in her 40's with moderate experience putting furniture together - simple and easy.  I like the look of this desk.  It is plenty big enough, the drawers are great, it feels very sturdy.  I use this desk every day while working from home.
