To start, the box I received this desk in was a very damaged condition. But, after opening the box the parts seemed to be in good condition except for scuff marks on the legs, and some odd pink powder on two of the footrest bars. This next part is where my biggest complaint comes in. I searched the whole box and all of the components for the screws and tools but couldnt find ANY of them. My package came with NO screws This got me so frustrated because I had to start school in two days. So, I had to drive to my Lowes AND Home Depot (40 minutes there and back), since either one didnt have all the necessary ones, to get all of the screws and stuff. I spend probably around two hours to get the materials, from driving and looking for the exact screws. The reason I had to get them and not wait for the seller to ship new ones is that I had school starting and couldnt wait. It was a Friday, so I wouldve probably had to wait until Monday for the seller to ship the screws out, no time for that.
After I got home, the installation took about an hour (definitely a lot easier with someone helping you). The only really confusing part was the lower bar A, lower bar B. and upper bar. Also, 100 need to use the online instruction guide to install this desk. The paper one was just too complicated To note, the seller did refund me a portion of the order of the amount I spent on the screws.
After installed I had a few problems, the desk was a lot skinnier than I thought it would be. Having my ultrawide on the edge of my desk seems to work out, but personally wider wouldve been better. And I shouldve measured before getting it so it is my fault. The second problem is that the middle piece, the one shaped like a diamond, is a bit higher than the side pieces So, the desk is not level and my keyboard wobbles every time I type. Very annoying. Especially if you plan to write on it. I attached a photo of the unleveled. To add to that, no matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to get no gap between the middle piece and the side pieces.
Another thing that should be noted is that if you plan on using this desk with a monitor stand, it would be difficult to mount it on one of the side pieces since there is a metal bar and thats all you can clamp to. So, but to be safe I clamped my desk mount to the middle piece since there is enough exposed wood there too so so.
This desk isnt all negatives. I think the finish looks very nice and it functions as a desk. But, are all of the small negatives still worth it Personally, I dont think so. I would return this desk if I didnt have to disassemble it. With school starting, I have no time.
Overall, its an OK desk You can get it, but you risk getting one with no screws or a middle piece thats raised higher than the side pieces.
UPDATE (9/2/20):
The seller was quick to fix their mistake and contacted me after he/she had seen my negative experience. They were very nice and apologized for the inconvenience. Then, we agreed on a way to have a mutually beneficial trade. I am very happy with the customer service and their response time. Im glad that this seller cares about their customers!
