If you are looking for an economical yet stylish and functional desk then this is the one for you!  I wasn't expecting much for the small price tag nut was I gladly surprised once I had it assembled; of which was not complicated at all.  The pieces of the desk were clearly marked and the screws etc..were easily identified in the manual.  The manual is broken down into 9-10 steps through illustrations.  All that is needed is a phillips head screwdriver and sense of organization.  It was quite simple although the last steps would have been easier had I had an assistant; but I manged.  The outcome is a beautiful piece of furniture my only complaint is that the  company (South Shore) doesn't have a matching chair.  I will look again for items made by this manufacturer as I am more than pleased with this purchase. It looks to be far more expensive than the price it actually is.  Thank You Wayfair...I will be back!
