This is a major assembly job with dozens and dozens of pieces. Many hours required to completed and an extensive manual with more than 30 steps. Do not purchase unless you are an experienced handy person. I wouldn’t have purchased if I had realised the extent of assembly.

The 4 hour assembly time quoted was in itself eyebrow raising, but with 40 pages of assembly instructions and many parts to be easily confused (be sure not to mix-up your 1-1/4” and 1-9/16” black screws!!) completion in less than 2.5 days would make you a better assembler than I. The end product is a heavy and substantial desk, but not entirely authentic looking. After all it is laminated MDF, but for just shy of $900 I had hoped for something more impressive.

Ordered the desk because it looked like a good vintage style I was looking for. I'm use to assembling furniture but I've never had to put together something so complicated. Took me a whole day to assemble. Afte that the drawers are very tight and the quality of the timber-look finish was below expectations. It's an adaquate desk but no more
