The desk looks really great in our home office and the assembly was straight forward - it took my husband and I about 2 hours. A few of the pieces came with scraps & chips - the feet had some significant chips and the surface of the top pieces both have noticeable scratches, which is a little frustrating. We noticed the scratches when we removed the pieces from the box, but we were too in need of a desk to work from home to send it back over them, so just a little annoyed every time we use the desk that we received it in this quality. The chips are on the legs and I didn't bother taking pictures of them, but they are larger than the surface scratches. Other than that, the desk looks great and functions well.
