I purchased this desk as I wanted a stylish desk in my Kitchen.  The end result is lovely but it does take time to make up.  I just needed help at the end however it took 5 hours in total.  I am sure an expert may take just a couple of hours.  As someone else noted make sure you have some wood glue to hand as the glue received was not useable.  Nice end result and worth the effort for the price.  If it wasn't a lockdown just now I would have got someone more experienced to do it but I managed.
