Package arrived in very good condition with lots of padding for the glass. Nice smokey transparent color of the glass. Assembly was pretty simple because there were numbers on the hardware which correlated to the instructions. I got a little confused with the sliding hardware assembly but with some integrity I worked it out. This desk looks contemporary and has an airy look to it. It's very sturdy and well made. I would get this desk again........my son wants one just like it. Very Classy.
