This is a great desk - beautiful, practical, easy to assemble and not cheap looking, but we ordered two and although one was perfect, the other was damaged in several places. The marks are noticeable but because of the position in the room, they are luckily not on show so we decided not to complain, as it seemed too much of a fuss over something that we can hide. This seems to be a problem during production and with quality control, rather than the distributor as the outer box itself was not damaged at all.
