Is the desk difficult to assemble?
Assembly is required, and while straightforward, it may be easier with two people. All necessary hardware and an instruction manual are typically included.

How durable is the melamine coating?

Troubleshooting
Desk wobbles after assembly.
Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Check that the desk is on a level surface. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture pads to stabilize it.

Minor scratches may be less noticeable over time. For deeper scratches, consider using a furniture repair pen or polish that matches the brown color. Avoid using sharp objects directly on the surface in the future.
