Do I need help to assemble a commercial straight desk, or can one person do it alone?

Most commercial straight desks can be assembled by one person, but two people makes it faster and safer. The main challenge for solo assembly: lifting and flipping the desk top to attach legs — desk surfaces are heavy (60–100+ lbs) and awkward to maneuver alone. Doing this on a clean carpeted surface (or with furniture sliders to prevent scratching a hard floor) makes it manageable. Attaching a pedestal to the desk is also easier with a second person holding components in alignment while the other tightens bolts. Two people completing a desk in 15–20 minutes is common; one person alone may take 40–60 minutes on the same desk.
