We had a long wait to get this desk.  One carton was lost, possibly at the secondary shipper, Wayfair was good to figure it out and re-sent the second carton. After we received both cartons it went together pretty well.  I enjoy using it in my office as director of our public library and it matches the driftwood gray flooring perfectly.  I especially like the raised back edge so things can't slip behind the desk.  It is a laminated product with basically a picture of wood for the surface, but it is holding up well except for one cupboard top that wants to peel back.  A dot of glue and its fine.  For the price don't really expect more.  Plenty of storage and great work surface, holds all of my "piles" of work.  Vintage look that I really like.
