So, I bought this desk in store 2 days ago. I was super excited because I finally had a portable place to do my artwork in my small 2 bed apartment.  I  pulled the desk out of the box, and when I went to unfold it, one of  the metal support beams on the frame was snapped off, as if someone had tried to open it prior and broke it. It would not open all the way. Thinking that maybe that part wasn't a big deal or could be fixed, I  went to flip the top of the desk and discovered that the desk was originally put together backwards...because as soon as I flipped the top over, the screws that were embedded into the wooden top (they connected to the frame) came out of the wooden top with NO RESISTANCE AT ALL!!! They slid out as easily as cutting into a semi-melted block of sharp cheddar cheese!
