How difficult is it to put this desk together? Are the drawers basically in one piece?

My husband took about 4 hours to assemble it, including dinner and a coffee break. I'd say he's reasonably skilled, but he's very methodical. He likes to lay out all the pieces and read the directions repeatedly. If you work quickly, 2 hours seems about right.

No the drawers are 2 sidepieces, bottom, front, back and drawer cover front. Directions are pretty straightforward. Not really difficult, just time-sonsuming. Id say about 1-1/2-2 hrs. Of course we were in no hurry.

It wasn't hard at all. It was very simple. The drawers came in 3 pieces but I was able to put it together. There are not a whole lot of screws. The directions are very straight forward. I actually bought the night stand and the book shelf and they were all easy to put together. My husband was shocked. Hope this helps.

It takes quite a while to assemble --- but if you FOLLOW the detailed instructions. it will work. The drawers are 5 pieces flat and must be assembled too.

Not terribly hard. Takes some time. Expect to spend between 45-75 minutes, depending on your skill level. You have to build the drawers. Not hard either. It's heavy too. Takes 2 people to move. Overall take your time to avoid mistakes.

You would have to do some assembling but its nothing extensive and quiet simple. The majority of the desk is already assembled so it just leaves the legs and mirror. Hope this helps.

Not difficult at all. Similar amount of assembly as Ikea furniture. You might need an extra set of hands on a few steps that require tipping or flipping the stand over.

It is not hard to assemble but you will need someone to help you put it into place. The cabinet is taller than you would be sitting down so best to have someone else help you put it together.

My desk is pretty much the color in the photo. Click on the picture of the desk to enlarge it. The desk has a very pretty wood grain pattern with some lighter and darker areas in the wood. I feel it's a color that would blend in with most any other wood pieces a person has in the same room with the desk. I am very happy with this desk. I will say one other thing about it. The desk is not easy to assemble for one person. It probably took me 6 hours + to assemble it on my own, and at my age, that was not an easy task. Advice: have a buddy to help.

There is some assembly, but I wouldn't consider it too difficult. The headboard is one piece, the footboard is one piece and they are attached by assembling the middle pieces in between and then screwing down the bed slat supports. The hardest part is moving the pieces around as they are large and heavy. I have a very small bedroom, so it was a little difficult to move the pieces in the right place in order to assemble. But overall, the number of assembly steps isn't bad because you don't have to assemble all the drawers and such (just attach knobs).

its an Ikea desk, so theres a ton of assembly. Every piece you see has to be put together. If you're thinking of buying though, look on Ikea.com, way cheaper

In my opinion i wouldnt call it exactly "easy to assemble". Every little piece comes completely disassembled. But, mine did come with assembly instructions.If you've assembled furniture before you can prob figure it out with a little time and patience. If you dont have much experience assembling this sort of stuff id say seek someone who has and can help you put it together:)

The assembly work requires careful instructions' reading. The instructions are mostly easy to follow. You will need a hammer and phillips screwdriver. The assembly work requires building all components of the dresser including all drawers. It is best to have a partner help out & best to be organized & follow each step carefully. If you do all of this with patience, you will have a nice piece of furniture in return!

It's pretty much all in pieces. All the panels, shelves, and cabinet doors have to be put together. The drawers slide in pretty easily after that. The top is also separate, but it's not that difficult. You just need space to spread out. Follow the instructions, and it's not too bad. We are really happy with ours.

I didn't put this together myself, relied on my handy husband. Think he used the tool that came with it, plus to make it faster used a drill for the screws. He did mention that it was fairly easy to assemble but that the drawers took the longest. Hope this helps, please let me know if I can answer any other questions. We're both very pleased with this purchase.

The drawers slide into the cabinet. The cabinet is one solid piece. Mine is holding up well - very sturdy and easy to use.

There are a lot of pieces, but the instructions are pretty easy to follow. I put it together alone and it took probably 2.5 hours. My best advice is to lay out all the pieces before you begin, and take your time. I had no trouble with any of the pieces, but there are a lot of steps. It's a beautiful desk though!

The desk is made of a heavy composite material. It is very sturdy and well put together. I am an (almost) 50 year old woman who put this together by myself; it took an evening to do the hutch and 3-4 hours the next day to assemble the base! My daughter helped me put the hutch onto the base, but that was my only help! I love the desk and the storage is phenomenal! Good luck!

It was the round top, round shelf, four legs, and the drawer. I assembled by myself but it seems a bit wobbly and the drawer falls out because its not lined up right. I'm usually pretty good at assembling furniture but I think I should have had a second set of hands to get the alignment right.

After moving upstairs , my wife and I laid out all of the parts and organized them , I think it took an hour and a half total to assemble and position the drawer frame then installed the drawers . I would say it had a 5 out of 10 difficulty with the drawers

Yes. It comes shipped in multiple pieces. Its pretty much shipped flat, so everything including the drawers need to be assembled.
