I purchased this desk specifically for the hutch and extra storage space and it did not disappoint. The packaging was actually much more protective of the pieces than I expected it to be, but there were still a few scratches on some of the panels.  Luckily they were panels that were inside or underneath and hidden from the outside view.  Assembly did take a while but most of the instructions were clear.  I highly recommend sorting out all the screws and hinges first though so you don't use the wrong ones early on (some pieces look very similar).  I would like to note I mistakenly thought the middle side storage piece was a drawer but it is in fact a cabinet door with a hinge so I included a picture for reference.  Once I figured out how important the middle screw on the hinge was for adjusting alignment of cabinets, putting the finishing touches on was so much easier.
