Overall, this is really a nice, good quality desk.  Assembly instructions were very clear; took about 3 hours to put together (and I've put together lots of furniture).  Overall the condition when delivered was pretty good - there was one long scratch (not deep, but noticeable) on the top of the desk.  Everything else was in great shape.  My biggest issue with the desk was the time from order to delivery - just over a month - seems like a long time in today's rapid delivery world.
