I read the reviews and thought now this is going to be OK. However, when I got my desk, sure enough, there were several scratches & marks on top of the desk board and a big chunky divot hole on the bottom of the desk board. Based on the reviews and consistency of the complaints, I would not recommend buying this desk. There is likely a packaging and preparation for shipping issue with the desk parts. Do you really want to unbox this heavy item only to find these issues? If it wasn’t such a hassle and time consuming. I would’ve sent it back!
