The package arrived in time, but the box was out of shape. Incredibly, the wood was Ok; the damage was limited to steel pieces. This didn't happen during the delivery, because one of the metal pieces lost the paint (I am guessing by the impact) and it was rusty. 

The desk seems sturdy. I'll contact Wayfair support and see what can be done.

Update: Wayfair gave me the option of discount, return the item, or replacing the damaged parts. No fuss. That's why I am bumping this review from 2 to 4 stars.

Thanks
