I ordered two of these for my kiddos, and they both ended up having dented/nicked/chipped corners! :( both my kids took a black sharpie pen to try and cover up the blemishes. I think the product line needs to reassess their packaging for shipping purposes. They were much larger than I expected...so just note they are a bit larger than a normal sized desk. My son says the surface shows a lot of smudges from where he touched it with his hands or arms while writing and they do not come off very well when being cleaned. Not as sturdy as I'd hoped for either. You get what you pay for with this desk bc it was inexpensive overall.
