Overall quality of this desk is quite nice and it was exactly as pictured. The box is exceptionally heavy and must have been tossed around during shipping because the top piece had several dings on it. It wasn’t a deal breaker for me but it is noticeable. Also, the directions leave a lot to be desired! I am pretty handy with putting items together and really had to stop on several occasions to determine how and in what directions pieces went bc the picture directions weren’t clear. To sum it up, I love the piece and would buy it again but it didn’t come with a few downfalls.
