Like almost every review for this desk, the package arrived beat up. There were several nicks in the desktop and one of the metal bars appeared bent. But nothing was damaged enough to warrant sending the desk back and going through the return process. It's hard to tell who's at fault here - the carrier or the order fulfiller, but I do think this could have been packaged better. That said, the desk does look nice and I'm really glad that it's reversible. I don't have enough space in my apartment for an L-shape desk, so I have it set up straight, and it's nice to know that I can change it to an L-shape when I move to a bigger place. I'm also pleased with the ability to remove shelves since my computer tower is rather large. Overall, it's okay and provides the desk space I need.
