Before I get too far into this, let me mention that there are no extra parts. If you try to do this without reading the directions you might find yourself holding four extra screws. That is a bad thing since they provide a degree of stability to this desk.
On to the review. On arrival I found a very well packaged desk. There was ample protection in the packaging, and as a result, the desk arrived in great shape. Unpacking it was an adventure, but I really did appreciate the care taken to make sure my desk arrived intact. If you follow the arrows on the outside of the box the first thing you will see when you open the box is the assembly directions. Read them.
Assembly was simple, the fit and finish is remarkable, and this desk was exactly as described on Great Offer Stock.com. Ashley and greatofferstock.com did a great job. As a side note, I really appreciate the rounded edge on the front of the desk. I find it very comfortable during a marathon point and click mousing session.
