First, I received this "desk" a day early (which was a huge surprise) and got right down to putting it together. The box suffered some injuries however, the pieces inside where so very well padded that nothing was damaged!

The directions were very clear and in just under 2 hours (note: I didn't have a drill to help with screwing in anything..haha), it was ready to use as my new bed side table. I absolutely love it! It is very well constructed, looks just as pictured and is bigger than I thought. It's an awesome addition to my bedroom.
