Quite a bit of assembly, including the entire drawer pedestal and the actual drawers. But it wasn’t difficult - just took a little longer than I had hoped. It does look great and feels pretty solid. If I had one gripe is that the drawers are not as deep as I would like but functional

I bought this desk about two months ago preparing for a coming move. I kept it in its box, unopened, until we moved yesterday. I began to assemble it just now. Step 1 went OK. But in step 2 (connecting piece P4 to P2) I discovered the holes were misaligned (see photos) and the pieces can't be joined. The fabrication is defective. The movers took the parts out of the box, which was so heavy I couldn't begin to lift it. Some of the styrofoam came apart in getting the pieces out. I have all the parts of the desk and the opened box, but I doubt I can pack it safely and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to bring it to a return shipping service. It looks like I'm stuck with an expensive, defective, useless product.

The desk is very nice. Exactly like in the pictures and as described. It has many parts to put together. But my husband managed on his own.

There was damage to the lock portion of the desk. The particle board wood had flaked off and only half of bracket to secure the lock is still in place. Overall, the desk is in decent shape and of good quality.

Item is sturdy and very useful. Unfortunately I think I’m kind of a bigger guy who likes a lot of leg rooms so it doesn’t work too well for me. But my wife loves it! Anyone above 6ft should consider something else.
