Beautiful small desk. The packaging was great and included a pressboard frame around the inside of the box to protect the contents. All the desk parts arrived in perfect condition.  While there are a lot of pieces to assemble, it went together well (all pieces lined up as they should) and the finished product is worth it.  A small tube of glue is included, but ran empty before assembly was complete - recommend having extra wood glue on hand, just in case. Also included were wood-grain stickers to apply over exposed hardware holes after assembly was complete.  A nice touch.  Very happy with this purchase.
