Very impressed with this desk. Its clear who ever designed it actually thought it through. I really appreciate that all sides of every piece are laminated (no rough sides). Everything was nearly perfect condition, but alot of pieces are reversible, so if you did find an imperfection you could have it facing away. I also wanted to mention that the desktop can screw into the shelving side (in an L configuration) but it also comes with a non slip strip if you are planning to do some custom configuration.
