it took me 5 hours to assemble. 2 people works better than 1 as the top layer is heavy and awkward to place . lifting part works great, smooth, easy to open and close for a standing work place. drawers open and close with ease. but, it not easy . nice challenge though. I had the time.

Some of the parts came scratched. The directions were about 34 steps with one item mislabeled. There were no written directions only pictures that showed different perspectives, making the assembly difficult. While the desk is nice I would not recommend. I wish I could return it, so if anyone wants to buy it let me know!

This desk is my favorite purchase from Wayfair hands down! Easy to assemble and brings a classy-sleek look to any workspace. The most amazing feature is that it converts into a standing desk with just a lift of its top! Luckily my company reimbursed me for home-workspace and I got lucky because 1.this great buy didn’t break the bank 2.i don’t feel “glued to my chair” for 8hours!

Love this desk!! Very nice and such a great deal

I just put the desk together. So far I love it. As people mentioned, there are many parts and it takes hours to assemble. I found the gears/top to be most challenging and had to redo it a few times. Also, there are some dings where the paint is chipped already. Not sure if it came that way but for the price I am happy. I can always color the black and hide the chip to the top since it’s in the back.
