After three hours of the most exasperating assembly I have ever done in my life, the desk was at least strong enough to use safely. But I could not get all the pieces to fit together properly. I am an experienced woodworker. Many screws which enter a piece obliquely had no matching pre-drilled hole on the screw's target piece. Many screws could not be used because some previous stage of assembly had blocked access to such screws.

BE AWARE YOU COSTOMERS OUT THERE, BE VERY AWARE!!!!!!
