To be fair, I just set up the desk today, so this review does not include any info on how the desk wears or holds up. That said...

First of all, the engineer who designed the packing setup for this desk deserves the highest award in the land. The box arrived (fast) but also a little banged up. I was a little afraid to open it. But when I did, I saw a packing masterpiece! Boxes inside boxes, protected by foam and cardboard, wrapped in protective layers. And the boxes were taped to one another just in case the foam failed. This thing was protected like nothing I’ve ever seen! Needless to say, it arrived in perfect condition. 

Setup was a breeze. All we had to do was put the metal frame under and screw on a drawer pull. FABULOUS. In like 15 minutes, I had a gorgeous new desk!

No weird smells. It feels strong and sturdy. Beautiful grey color. Yes. Nice!!!
