The Harless Desk arrived well-packaged, with no harm to any of the pieces. The hardware included an extra piece for each of the different screws, which is good. The assembly took about 2 hours, completed by one young adult. There were so many pieces to put together that it was time-consuming. She said the wood for the drawer interior was a poor quality that looked ready to break,  but once built it held together well. The drawers construction offered the most difficulty. The instructions were not written clearly, but good enough to figure it out.  Once completed, the desk is solid and steady, and it looks pretty good. The drawers are spacious. I am happy with this desk, I really like its style.
