As another reviewer said, the top already had chips from the black top, so I wasn't completely surprised about my desk top arriving with some dings in it. I'll fill them with wood putty and black marker/paint. Looks very nice once assembled and a lot of assembly required. Everything is well labelled, but there are some parts that are very similar, so be careful you're using the right parts for each section. Very sturdy and looks very nice once finished.
