How long does it typically take to assemble a U-shaped desk?

A standard commercial U-shaped desk takes 3–5 hours to assemble with two people. Large configurations with a hutch and multiple pedestals can take 5–7 hours. Assembly is easiest on a hard floor (not carpet), and starting with a flat-assembly area helps — many sections need to be assembled flat before being stood upright. Follow the manufacturer's instructions rather than improvising the sequence.
