I was so excited to receive my desk, which did take some time to ship. Once, I received it the top was damaged but not due to shipping.  Wayfair customer service was great about sending the replacement part - which took time arriving as well.

My recommendation for putting the desk together if you have a friend or spouse who's willing to help take them up on the offer! It took me about 1.5 to put the desk together and I put furniture together all the time. Attaching the legs and back metal panel were the most challenging. 

Finally, when the desk is put together it looks exactly like the picture and I was still so happy with my choice. The only thing I would change if i could is timing to ship and the manufacturer not to pack damaged product.
