This desk is beautiful! It's the perfect size, height and color for my office. The box came pretty damaged, but the desk inside was very well wrapped and protected, so there was no damage to the actual parts. A few things to consider before purchasing: It's really heavy! You may need a second person to help you move the box. Also, make extra sure to decide which side of the desk you want the desktop to go beforehand so you can place it properly when the time comes. Quality-wise, the drawers and storage space are not made of the best quality. I already have a few scuffs that happened while organizing my things in it. For $500, the materials could have been a little bit better quality. I am still giving this 5 stars because there is nothing wrong with the desk and it really fits my needs perfectly. Plus, it's BEAUTIFUL!
