Kind of a pain to put together - parts are labeled and has an instruction booklet but you really have to pay attention to the direction of holes in the pieces, you can set it up facing left or facing right so there are 2 different options in the manual, best to examine the entire manual before starting. Not a bad work area, super simple and basic. I was fine with the inexpensive vaery basic quality until I assembled the lower shelf feet/ supports, they just have a huge hole with a NUT inside, I thought this was quite strange and completely different than all the other screw holes, plus it is completely unstable the feet can literally be just pulled right off or if you have your PC sitting on it and accidentally hit it with your foot the leg will go sideways so be careful I guess. I have tried several times to make it stay and it just won't. Everything else seems fine and sturdy enough.
