First of all, I would've loved to have any other color in the desk besides white, but at the time Wayfair was running a sale or promo price. Conveniently, the brown and black were out of stock at that time. It's fine, I plan on painting it anyway. Shipping was extremely quick, but upon receiving the box, I noticed damage from shipping. The corner of the box was completely smashed in. Most of the impact was taken by the styrofoam in the box, but I was heartbroken to see that a corner of the desktop was mildly damaged and had a scuff on the top, but I have been searching for something something similar to this for this price for quite some time. Assembly was mostly an ease! I struggled with the drawer slides a but. Pictoral instructions, would've slightly benefited from written instructions. Although I was considering requesting an exchange, all in all, I am happy I put it together.
