This desk looks great and my daughter (age 12) and I were able to get it together without a problem.  However, please note that it is in a zillion pieces.  The directions are easy to follow but it was very time consuming.  She is very happy with it - and it is great for storing all of her school/craft supplies.  The box was very heavy.  We had to unpack it downstairs and bring up the pieces to her room piece by piece.  She was very determined and sorted all of the pieces needed step by step.  (I'm not sure if I would have had the patience for that!)

Pros: Great student work space.
Cons: Long assembly.
