Well, it was damaged on the front left corner and a small chunk fell off... other that that, it was very easy to assemble, just put the legs on... the quality isn't great but for the discounted price, I guess I couldn't expect much... I would have sent it back if I had paid full price... the grey color is nice but not glossy at all, very matte... it's fairly sturdy but I don't expect it to last long or last through a move... would not recommend this...
