Desk came to our door nicely packed, the protectors give it a very low chance for the glass to be damaged.   It was fairly easy to assemble using only a Philips screwdriver.  Once assembled it gives you a sturdy feel, I don't feel afraid of breaking the glass.  The look is very good the crystal gives our home office a very modern look, for the price I believe it was a very good purchase and just what I was looking for.
