The desk arrived ok time with no damage.  My step dad put the desk together for me and it took him a few hours to complete it. The instructions were vague and a few sections were backwards. Overall he completed it with little difficulty.   The desk appears to be sturdy and looks just like the picture.  It also had two different ways that you can set it up. Either one long desk or the L shape. Overall I'm very pleased with it and would highly recommend it to anyone shopping for a nice desk!
