First thing to note, this desk is metal, I just assumed it was "wood". However, the assembly was brutal. My husband put this together, he has lots of experience, but he really struggled. The instructions aren't great. The drawer just didn't line up with the drawer attachments, it was off by a few millimetres. My husband had to put in a homemade spacer to make it work. It is built now, looks nice - the glass top really makes it look good but please hope you get one where everything lines up - otherwise it is torture to build.
