The box was a little torn up when it arrived, but everything was in great shape. My daughter put it together for me and it took her about 30 minutes. Looks great! In my photo you can see my 27.5" iMac, plus my laptop and an additional 23.5" monitor and tons of extra space. The wood looks a little more natural in person than in the photos. The black side piece is odd because it's completely black, but it actually works out fine and is a nice contrast.
