Assembly was smooth and went quickly. Definitely a two person job as it requires someone to help turn the desk upright. No complaints about packaging. Was concerned about damage during shipment, but desk arrived safely via UPS with no problems. Love the USB and power outlets. Being fixed on the right side might be a problem for some, but worked out great for the corner I chose. My 24 inch monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers all fit nicely. Was also concerned about the fit of the drawer, but no problems there either. Glides smoothly. Very nice that it's felt lined at this price point. Overall a great purchase!
