Came with zero imperfections.. the only issue I find.. is getting the little thin slabs to line up perfectly at the same time.. which is such a minuscule problem to have.. I love the desk with or without. I’m a 5’3 petite woman & I managed to put this bad boy together myself. I thought I was missing hardware because I figured I knew what I was doing, but moments later I realized the problem was me. I absolutely love.. can’t wait for my chair to arrive!
