The desk was easy to assemble by one person; however, (1) it had a defective foot - no thread; and, (2) the angled legs seemed a bit awkward. Once assembled, it is sturdy enough to use and I was able to adjust the feet to keep it level; except for the missing foot that I improvised. I sent a request for a replacement part, with photos; but never received any response.
