Just bought my third one, have 2 of the strait desks, and one L-shaped desk. All were in perfect condition, no damage, nice sturdy box. Assembly takes about 1 minute, 2 if you are out of shape. No tools of any kind needed, the metal parts use flanges to slide together, and the top goes on with four screws that have large plastic heads so you can use your fingers to tighten. If the holes don't line up the first time, you just need to turn the top the other way... don't know why some people are talking about having to drill holes.
Looks are very good. This is a mid point in quality-- it is not high end office furniture, but it certainly isn't cheap and disposable. You will keep this for a long time. Also, the size and weight are such that UPS and FedEx can deliver, it does not need to be sent by truck. Very pleased with these tables, you should try one!
