Package shipped very quickly.  The box received some damage, but due to good packaging, the components were unharmed.  The desk will work just fine for our needs.  I give it 4 stars because it's not as sturdy as I had hoped it would be (I wouldn't be comfortable moving it very far).  Installation took me 2 hours (by myself).  Secondly, the drawers aren't on any type of glides/slides/tracks.  Each drawer consists solely of a simple manufactured wood box that slides in/out of a manufacturered wood cavity.  I placed some glides on the bottom of the drawers that seem to help.  Otherwise, we like the desk (its very functional) and love the mirror.  We hope to get plenty of use out of it.
