The assembly for this desk was beyond obsurd. Screws, wooden pegs and bolts all were included, but this many different connectors were not needed. All screws would have been fine as there were exposed areas anyway. The section order to assemble was awkward as you couldn't reach certain areas to tighten the screw lock per directions. As this desk is for short term use, it is fine, but it is not a long term piece of furniture.
