The desk arrived very promptly, I was initially a little concerned as the box was slightly damaged, but everything had been packed really well and all the pieces were in good condition. Instructions were clear and it was easy to put together on my own. It looks fabulous in my living room! The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that there were some minor cosmetic scratches on the top of the desk, but I have managed to cover these. I love the desk!
