The instructions were printed on side of box in small print with diagrams that were a little confusing however the desk was put together relatively easily by myself. Some of the holes for draw sliders were too small so these had to be made bigger. Once constructed the desk looked very nice. I would say that the drawer handle looks cheap as it is made from plastic... a chrome one would be more appealing. The pull out keyboard shelf has broken within a week of use... down to cheap chipboard and veneer which has disintegrated...all in all it looks ok but is made from cheap materials.
