Easy to build on my own with an electric screwdriver. Was really easy to build it "backwards" as well, as I needed the shelves on the left hand side. I was worried about fitting 2 monitors on but it was fine. There's loads of room on this desk. I left the middle shelf off and my (large) computer tower fits perfect with space at the back for ease of access. It feels really sturdy, i think it was a really good price.
