The box arrived taped in several places where it looks like it had been thrown down the steps and then taped back together. When the box was open, several broken pieces of wood (that looked like shelves) and styrofoam fell out. But the pieces to the desk were all fine. The broken wood turned out to be packing material that just looks like a shelf. It took the brunt of the abuse. Several of the pre-drilled holes did not line up so the screw could not be inserted. I had to redrill them or leave the screws off. And the cross-brace poles could not be used. They were all an inch too short. The overall unit once built looks good but the manufacturer needs to do some quality control before those kits leave the factory.
Nice desk, Frustrating Build
