Took about an hour to assemble, mostly because theress so many little screws and bolts. instructions are relatively easy to follow (although there was no step 9 in my booklet). Parts are clearly labeled and hardware neatly and discreetly packaged for easy finding. This desk is particle board with a veneer, and there were some areas where the veneer is one step from peeling, thankfully not in any visible areas. I read another review where the buyer noted that this works ok for an adult with careful or gentle handling; I agree. I bought a blotter to protect the desktop. I had concerns that it could get scratched or that a water mark from a drink could lead to damage. Youre essentially paying for a lower cost version of a stylish desk, and Im ok with that. This fits my needs for now and replaces the folding table Ive been using to work from home. I like the drawers which keep the desktop clear. The veneer looks enough like wood that this matches other furniture in the room. Decent value desk.
