Items arrived well packed, which is fortunate since, as in the photo shown, one side of the box had come open by delivery. Fortunately nothing had fallen out and although there was some minor cosmetic damage to the two end pieces (another end of the box was crushed) these were easily hidden.
Assembly took about an hour, but instructions and labeling were clear and we had no problems putting it together. The desk seems well made and looks very nice. We were glad to see that the upper shelf was sturdy enough to hold multiple monitors since this was a primary reason for purchase. This also put them at a good height for use.
The one drawback is that the bottom shelves, at least one of which we planned to use for a computer tower, did not seem adequately supported for something that heavy. As a result we set up both computer towers next to the desk and plan to use the shelves for lighter storage of things like external hard drives, headphones, etc.
Thanks to other reviewers for including photos in their posts as this was enormously helpful when we were trying to find a desk to fit our space.
Also, although shipping can be an uncertain thing, we were pleasantly surprised that this desk arrived a week earlier than indicated
Would buy again
