The desk was fairly easy to assemble. Other reviews talked about 2 hours for 2 people together. I did it alone in 90 minutes. The quality seems sturdy even though it’s a wood composite but the drawers are a joke. They really should include real drawers, not garbage fabric and fake pleather. The bottom ones don’t even stay in when you open them up. If the motor doesn’t burn out and the unit stays tightly assembled, I’d call it a decent value.
