This arrived unscathed in a very short few weeks (ahead of time promised). The delivery man put it where I asked. The assembly was easy enough for a single handed middle aged lady with a screwdriver and a standby bottle of gorilla glue. It goes together with pegs and self locking screws which turn with an Allen key. The hardest part, as always, is tightening ordinary screws...I have to wait for a son to arrive for that to be done better.  Even so, no major problems, no scratches or marks. It is quite heavy mdf but slides on the carpet ok. The oak look is fine and the white paint too. It arrived at 3.45 and was made and in use by 4.45.
