My order came on time and all parts and pieces were complete. I had a slight problem putting two pieces together but was able to figure it out quickly. I don't usually have problem with DIY furnitures but because the illustration that came with it was kind of confusing, it took me 2 1/2 hours to,complete it. But overall I think the desk looks very simple but beautiful. Looks great with the rest of the furnitures in my son's bedroom. It's also very sturdy. My son loves it. I would recommend this to anybody specially to students of all levels.
