Beside UPS losing the desk for 24 hrs, I was able to pick up my freight at my local UPS freight warehouse. The crating was a bit cheap and damaged but fit in a long bed pick up with tail gate down. As for the desk, it is a well made beautiful sturdy piece of furniture. With help of one other person this, desk assembled in about 2 hours once unpacked. Only small complaint that I have is...for the price, you think they would have the paint flawless with no drip marks as shown above. Other than this small detail and the cheap crating the desk is shipped in, I would have given the desk five stars. As for ergonomics. I love working on projects on this desk. Everything is setup nicely for long hours of studio work.
