Puts together easily. We ordered two of the same desk. One desk has some cosmetic looking marks on the top and edges that look like scratches but I think it’s just the laminate because they are not rough. My husband’s desk had a scratch across the entire underside but he said it shouldn’t bother anything. The box was undamaged so we aren’t sure what happened. Although we ordered the same exact style of desk as my husband’s work desk (bigger size) all three look different. We weren’t interested in trying to return etc because we live in a small town.
