We just put this up for me last night, so I haven't gotten a lot of use out of it yet- but, my husband was able to put it together in under 2 hours (taking a few breaks here and there) and he said the instructions were clear, easy to follow and he had no problems at all! I've been working on it all day today and LOVE it! I have so much more table top space than I was expecting! I have 2 large monitors and a laptop on one side, and I still have room to write things and have decorations with no clutter! The drawers and cabinet are spacious and are more than enough room for what i'm using it for! LOVE it! The color is also really great!
