The instructions were easy to follow, well marked, and took about 1.5 hours to assemble by myself . The box was quite heavy and buyer will definitely need 2 people to bring inside. This desk is in a corner of my guest bedroomhome office and as a result has created more open space in the room. I have a laptop and flat screen monitor on top of the desk which is working well. There’s not a lot of room to do paperwork on the desk surface but that’s fine, it was not my intent when purchasing.￼ Overall, I’m very pleased with this desk.￼
