Giving this two stars instead of 4 stars.  It arrived completely within the packing, and no damage to the packaging, however, multiple corners of panels were broken beyond repair.  It was not worth (to me) the hassle of returning for this.  So I put it together (moderately difficult, took 1 person 2.5-3 hours with more tools than most people have).  Luckily, the damaged corners are not too obvious.  The desk is stable, and looks nice.  Good bargain for the price, but docking the rating for the condition it was received in, and the difficulty of assembly.
