Delivery via FedEx was late by a day from the estimate provided, so I wasted two days waiting for the delivery. When the box arrived, the delivery man dropped it and ran. The box wasn't very heavy, but was VERY beat up and re-taped. Surprisingly, there was quite a bit of styrofoam packaging and plastic reinforcement. Although the desk was intact, there was a big dent in the middle of the main metal frame.

The metal frame comes pre-attached to the wooden desk-top, which was very nice to discover. All you need to do is attach the metal legs. Very simple and quick assembly, with adjustable plastic feet, and the desk ultimately feels sturdy.
