I bought this desk in white to go on my new office and it went together pretty easily I have a pretty handy husband ;-)  the only thing that was missing was a few screws that he was able to replace they weren't in the package of screws it all stumps me why not because it's a closed a package but everything works correctly and there was no damage to any of the pieces so I am happy and I love the two slots on the side to put my workbooks hide them away and to be able to put my tower hidden away
