Recommend you inventory everything before you start - an old ice cube tray is great for sorting the screws and easy assess during assembly. So far, I have never been shorted on any of the necessary pieces. Directions are easy and straight forward. If you have put together one Bush furniture piece, you will have no problem. I only had one screw that I had trouble getting into the partially drilled hole. One word to the wise - you do need hand strength in order to have the torque to assemble, but I was able to do it by hand and I am in my late 50s. Bush's customer service is excellent. One of the file drawer rails on my matching desk bent over time (I bought it back in 2015). They are sending my a replacement free of charge!The description of this product says it is made of wood. To me that would mean actual wood, like plywood. This is actually made of particle board. Outside of that, I love it. It is beautiful. My husband also used glue when assembling it to give it extra stability and longevity. I am extremely happy with it.I really hate to write this review. I really do. I have a Bush computer desk that I have been using for over 14 years and it's great. This 2 drawer cabinet has been a nightmare. First, it arrived damaged. Not the manufacturer's fault at all, but already a set back. The customer service lady was so nice and so helpful. I now feel bad for her because she must be get a ton of miserable phone calls. All the reviews on how difficult this thing is to put together are correct. You are in for a two hour assembly time. This could have been so much better if they had put in just a bit more effort on the instructions. All of that I could forgive if at the end I got a good looking and functional product. I didn't. Whoever placed the holes for the runners did not measure correctly and they are a 1/4" too low and the drawer won't shut. I have tried every possibility I can to make this right and no matter what, the out come is the same. Not. Measured. Correctly. I tried swapping the drawers. I remounted the runners using different runners in different positions. Hours of sweating and cursing to be left with a $300+ item that wasn't properly manufactured. It's sturdy and attractive, so I give them points there, and whoever the nice lady was in customer service needs a better job. But I now have to 1) do without the bottom drawer, 2) remove the runners and have the drawer remain closed and basically non-functioning, 3) spend hours disassembling, pack this 80 pounds of sawdust back in the box, schlep it over the the shipping store and wait days/weeks for a replacement that could be in the same state, or 4) drill my own holes and try to fix their mistake.I researched extensively to find a couple of matching desks for a home office. The biggest issue I had with the desks is trying to find out that was a reasonable price but wasn't ridiculously cheap. I have found (with 2-3 other "cheap" desks) that you tend to get what you pay for. You sometimes even still get poor quality when you pay a great deal. As such, I was nervous to buy this desk but I have generally had great luck following reviews on Amazon to buy products so I decided to try it. We decided to buy this matching file cabinet to go with the desks.Thoughts:1. I love the desk! Forgive the poor quality pictures (it's not a ringing endorsement of the ipad's camera) but I hope you can see how nice they look. They were much better lookin that I felt the promotion picture showed.2. I love that they are on feet! I honestly didn't even think about it when I bought the desks but the ability to reach outlets behind the desk, sneak cords underneath to the surge protector/plug in other electronics, not cover up the heating duct has been a huge plus to this collection! The feet have 8 screws in each of them so they are extremely sturdy as well.3. The drawers were deeper than I expected. My parents gave us a home-made file cabinet that was considerably wider than this. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to fit as much in the cabinet. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was actually able to put everything in 1 drawer that I was able to fit in about 3/4 of the bottom drawer of the old one. I also loved that they were deeper than I expected. I use the top drawer as a catch-all for office equipment and was amazed at how much I was able to pile up and put in there.4. I like that it is the exact same height as the desk you can put it at the end as a sort of desk extender. There have been times that I have needed to work from home and have needed the extra space!Con:1. The wood laminate is thinner than I would have hoped. Again, all desks (even relatively expensive desks) seem to have this issue but I was hoping for more. I found that it was easily remidied by getting a furniture marker in a matching color, but I had hoped for more.Overall, I love the cabinet and the desks!Purchased the file cabinet to match the desk. Love both the file cabinet and the desk but not easy to put together. Having a second person really helps due to the weight of various pieces. Directions were clear, but 18 steps to put an item together in a lot. Well worth it!
