Can you assemble it without putting the "top" on? In other words can I just use the 2 drawers, or if I had 2 kits could I pick & choose parts?

top gives it stability. I recommend either stacking two kits or having a top.

The answer is NO...... See the two horizontal struts across the bottom, there needs to be the same thing at the top.The wire mesh of the top shelf is a light 14 gage wire so, with some care, you could snip out the shelf mesh with wire cutters and retain the frame stability.

Yes you can leave the top off if you want. You can also change the heights of the drawers if you want. The top snaps on and off easily.

If you did that you'd want to have the drawer at the top of the poles for balance

They're all separate pieces so it seems they could be used separately. I haven't tried that, but did assemble mine in the reverse of the photos. The instructions include both. It has been a great desk - sturdy and attractive.

You can put it together yourself. Please don't buy this, it is very flimsy and very overpriced

The top is two pieces - one is the side with the drawers and the other is the main side. You can put the drawers on either the left or right side of the top (it actually states in the directions that you can put it on either side and tells you how, which is neat) and just move the outer leg to the other side and it's a mirror image. The top isn't finished on the bottom, so you can't flip it.

I don't see why you couldn't. The hardware suggesting top drawers are illusory.

The drawer is already assembled and so is the top. You have to attach the legs, put the drawer on the sliders and screw the draw pull onto the drawer. I'm sitting at this desk, this very moment, typing this response. I've owned it for about a year, use it everyday, and love it - but I'd suggest a plastic desk blotter, like I have, to preserve the wood finish which is, of course, quite thin.

You have to assemble it. My husband assembled ours (bought 2) and it wasn't very difficult.

Hi Tami, there are 2 drawers, if you open one the other one is locked, so you never can open both drawers at the same time. But you do not have the opportunity to actually lock the drawers that nobody else can open it. Best regards, Gabriele

Its very easy to put together, but I would contact the supplier and have them email to you if possible. But I bet you would be able to do it without the instructions as it is easy to do.

The drawers come already assembled and what we did is just flipped which side the drawers would be on. It is possible you just have to modify the assembly a little to fit your room.

You must assemble it yourself. I found it easy to do as I have three of them. They are beautiful and sturdy.

Yes and the base and top are pre-assembled so you don't have to put it together. All you do is add the sides to the top and bottom and doors on (which just slide into place) and you're done! Easiest assembly EVER!

It comes assembled--drawers in place. However, the wheels are in one of he drawers because the units are stackable and one on top of the other won't need wheels. Only the bottom unit needs wheels and only if you need to move the stack. If you purchase only one unit then you must decide if you want wheels on it or not. To put the wheels in place it takes only a little pressure--and it is not difficult.

You have to put it together. It's a little difficult and time consuming, but a quality piece for the price(as long as u don't mind that the drawer is not on a track)

I think it is two pieces put together but it would be difficult to pull them apart. There is no assembly upon arrival. I would be worried about breaking it if you tried to pry it apart.

No. You have to assemble it. Instructions are pretty clear except in one spot and that is putting the sides on the drawers. It says to wiggle the piece back and forth to get it to snap in. Actually, you have to put it in at an angle and then straighten it up to snap it in. Otherwise, all was good. I put it together by myself.

The top comes assembled and is separate from the base. I am in the process of doing the same thing..
