desk is almost perfect. It looks good and was packaged beautifully.  Quality control was not perfect.  One problem was one wood corner brace was loose in the box,  we put it together anyway (it was a weekend and had no wood glue at home) but I will have to take it apart and glue the corner in place.  Another problem was a wood chip about the size of a 50cent coin... the chip is still attached it is on the side of the desk under the lip of the top.
