The desk is easy to assemble but did come with a few dents and dings on the wood pieces. Additionally, it came with some of the white paint missing missing in the upper left hand corner of the desk. It's not too noticeable but it's not exactly as pictured. Moreover, When using the desk, it is not as sturdy as it could be and tends to wobble when writing or typing. Overall, it's a decent desk for the price.
