I love the desk. It wasn't hard to put together, but it is time consuming. Putting the desk together took about 6 hours for me, but that was not a straight 6 hours of working on it. The desk is made of particle board, so you will have to be careful when moving pieces around so that you don't chip any of the edges. After putting the desk together, it can be a bit of a pain to move because of the particle board. I would recommend this desk to others.
