Hi, the pcs were backwards, to where you see the particle board and not the white painted part. Some holes were missing but realized maybe for different desk, that part worked out. There is only one small board that supports the back,(not very sturdy). would've like one full panel board to support back. If you were to move the desk, you would easily break the back board or break the top desk board. the reason why I say that is once I move my Daughter and Granddaughter, it will be tricky to move this desk up stairs without breaking it. All-in-all, I don't think it was worth $633.00. Then again, quality isn't what it used to be. Tks, Cat
