My new desk arrived on time and was packed well.  It had a few dings from shipment, but they were in areas that did not show when put together.  It fit my office space perfectly and was beautiful when put together.  It will take someone  with moderate handyman skills to put it together.  It took me a good 10 hrs to put it together, but was well designed and all the parts were there.  It was made from man made wood, but it was sturdy and should last a long time with minimum care.  I would highly recommend this product for those who want a desk for their home office.
