The desk arrived a day earlier than expected.  The packaging was very good and while the outside box was a little beaten in transit, the contents were well protected.
The desk is very nice, very stable and it exactly what I wanted.  The quality definitely exceeds the price point.  We may buy a second one for our guest room.
The only thing that could be better is assembly directions, which there were none.  However, the assembly was obvious and simple to the point that I will not deduct anything from the stars rating just for that.
