I love the desk. It is sturdy and it was fairly easy to assemble (which I did alone) except for the desk top. The top was very difficult to attach even with my husband's assistance. My only complaint is that it is not pure white as advertised. It is more off white in color. Also, the hard drive compartment does not allow ventilation so I did not attach the back of the cabinet to that section to prevent overheating. The packaging was intact but it was very heavy. I am pleased with my purchase.
