The desk arrived 3 days earlier than planned, so that was nice. The box arrived in good condition, but was a bit hard to open...it was sealed very well! The desk was fairly easy to put together, and it looks really nice in my boys room. The USB charger was a nice touch as well. The top of the desk is tempered glass, so I hope it will survive two teenage boys. I am very happy with the desk, and so glad I took a chance on it.
