Affordable desk that arrived within a few days of ordering.-- Impressive packaging: Several pieces in one box. Items was packaged neatly and clearly labeled. Very impressed with how each piece was neatly placed in a custom-fit, thick, white padding (higher quality than the typical styrofoam). Hard cardboard spacers were used on all four corners to protect the wood pieces from shifting and getting damaged. Kudos to the delivery guy how carried the heavy box with ease.-- Installation: Easy to decipher the pictured instructions that had helpful hints if something didn't fit. Although recommended to have two people to install, I was able to do it by myself. Just be careful flipping the table. Its heavy.-- Hardware: I liked the metal plates used to attach the table top together and the metal braces to attach the hutch to the table top. It's not plastic! Adding the flat metal plates at the ends of the desk wasn't necessary but it added a nice finished look to the desk. Great attention to detail!-- Functionality: The desk raises and lowers at a good speed. No child lock like my previous desk, but feel it's not necessary. Front, back and sides of drawers are hard cardboard-like; covered by a sturdy cloth material. Handles of drawers are metal. Desk is sturdy and a good size. It's feels like one solid piece and it's not too heavy if you need to move it.-- Overall: Extremely happy with this purchase. I was very impressed with the packaging, quality of materials, and the overall esthetic look of the desk.
