The first desk I ordered was delivered with a lot of damage. It had obviously been dropped somewhere, because when it arrived the top of the desk was in pieces.
I sent it back to Amazon directly and the customer service was great, we got the problem resolved and the only issue was the extra wait for the new item and having to re-box a large bulky item and ship it back to Amazon.
The desk that was shipped to me next came in good condition. Assembly was simple, bolt the four legs to the desk. Everything else is pre-assembled.
The fasteners, and hardware are pretty good quality, the unit is solid and the legs are even, but as far as the quality goes...it's still mostly press board (if not all, it's hard to tell).
The Chinese have figured out a way to give a real-wood patina to this stuff, so when you look at it there is grain on the surface and it looks nice. But the unit that came damaged had the surface broken, and I could see that it was all "composite" wood. So if you buy this, you can expect a "solid" desk, just don't expect real wood.
Overall though, it's a good looking desk that serves my laptop needs.
