I have read multiple reviews regarding the difficulty of assembly.  Because of this I was prepared for an entire afternoon/evening/night of building and frustration.  With organization and patience and beer, I successfully completed this project in 9 hours.     

If you have plenty of room to spread everything out, and are somewhat handy with a screwdriver, you too can have this desk.

I cannot fathom trying to put this together in a studio apartment.

I am very proud of my accomplishment and also am very impressed with the final product.




Pros: Strong wood.  Beautiful color and executive looking accents.
Cons: Multiple wood parts that were not labeled.
