The assembly instructions were for the most part good. There could have been more detail in the diagrams and there were hardly any written tips or written instructions. I was short about two dozen screws and there wasnt nearly enough glue supplied to complete the job. The desk is very attractive and very solid and exactly what I needed. Will be a lotta fun if/when we ever have to move it.
I put it together mostly by myself, with a friend joining me for the last few steps. Total assembly time for me was about 15 hours including trips to hardware store for parts.
