This desk cost way too much money to come having the problems that it did. Pieces were bent. The screws would strip before they would go all the way in, and I screwed in everything by hand. The screw would barely have pressure applied to it before it would completely strip and be almost impossible to finish! Some screws wouldn't even go in all the way because of this, most notably at the top underside portion of the desk, which means my legs will get scratched every time I scoot my chair it. My husband had to put his entire body weight into getting some of these screws more than halfway in. If this desk didn't weigh so much, and if I didn't have to completely shred the box just to open it, I would definitely be sending it back.
