I debated whether to rate it 5 stars or not. The box it came in was completely demolished on one side. I was very scared to open it. I was pleasantly surprised that the pieces themselves were mostly intact. There were a few pieces that did have some cosmetic damage. Not enough to give me heartburn and call to get it replaced. But more than just negligible. The desk itself is well built and sleek looking. The motor that lifts it up seems to be working just fine. The desk can be configured right or left so that is nice. The assembly instructions are really vague. I have assembled many of these furniture items so I was able to figure it out. However, I can see someone who is not used to doing this having a really hard time. You definitely will need two people to flip it right-side up in a safely manner after you are done putting it together. Overall a great buy for the price. Shipping and instructions could be improved.
