This desk looks nice and is a good price. Even though the box was damaged during shipping, everything was packaged well enough that nothing was broken or missing inside. The instructions were easy to follow, and I didn't have a hard time putting this together by myself. However, there are about a million pieces to this desk, so it took me a long time to assemble. A couple of the pieces don't line up exactly right, but it didn't affect the overall look or function of the desk.
