My shipment came in a box that looked all torn apart. My 1st thought was that the item inside had to be broken with the way the box looked....and yes there was a broken piece to one of the side pieces but thankfully it's not visible. The desk looks great on the picture but in reality its really cheap. It's sturdy/heavy, scratches easily and just cheaply made. I got what I paid for  I quess :) I did not send it back because it will serve it purpose as a young boy's desk for a short period of time.
