The desk arrived in a box with all pieces wrapped carefully and protected fairly well.  However, there were still scratches and chipped surfaces on the table top.  The desk require complete assembly of every individual piece.  The assembly details were fairly complex however fastening was fairly easy with the included hardware.  A few surfaces became buckled with the quick-lock hardware.  As you attempt to tighten the quick-lock bolt the bolt pushes against the backside of the panel and de-laminates the panel surface.  You must be careful not to overtighten the bolt but the bolt does not provide a clear indication of being secured otherwise.  The drawer has roller slides but the sliding action is not very smooth.  Top surface can be scratched easily so I purchased a separate custom cut glass top.

Pros: Low price
Cons: Not highest quality and very poor finish.
