This is an attractive desk but, as noted by others, the assembly is troubling.  I hired a handyman and even he had difficulty following the instructions.  One set of screws were missing and had to be sent to me. Several pieces had slight imperfections in the finish.  The entire assembly took over 3 hours. Once assembled it looks like a nice piece of furniture.  Since I use this as a computer desk it would have been nice to have a drawer for the keyboard under the front of the desk.
