Really well packaged (hardware/tools organized, protective sleeves on corners, etc). Came with all tools needed to assemble, including hex key and Phillips head screwdriver. Steps were clear and easy to follow. Keep in mind there are quite a few components so assembly did take a while (2 1/2 hours for me). I was able to assemble it by myself, but if you have someone helping that'd be ideal as some of the pieces are heavy so flipping it over alone definitely cost some effort. The box was extremely heavy, I couldn't carry it in so I had to open it outside and walk the pieces in individually. Nothing was damaged though and the desk feels very sturdy. Everything works perfect! Fits my dual monitors, laptop, and printer with room to spare. Great value for the price!
