My teen daughter and I were able to put this desk together in under 2 hours.  The directions were clear and each piece is marked with a numbered sticker to make it easier.  The desk is perfect for the space, quite sturdy and a great red color.  We live quite close to an IKEA, so we had other inexpensive desk options, but we are glad we chose this desk because of the concise directions and the overall value for the price.
