Arrived in good condition
The box looked rough when it arrived, but the item was well padded so there was no damage to the MDF boards. The instructions could have been better. I had to dismantle and entire portion and redo everything because the diagram only instructions were not clear. The item seems sturdy and the rotating hinge as well. The size, finishes, and sturdyness are good. Am using as a laptop desk beside my sofa. Wish the top was another 4" to 6"longer since you lose 12" on the part that swings out bc that sits over the bookcase which is beside my sofa. Practical and novel copmact product.
