I absolutely love this desk ! It’s way bigger than I expected but I need the space so it’s perfect! Some pieces were damaged and scuffed but it was fine for me because they were damaged and scuffed on the bottom so you can’t even see it. I love it and definitely recommend if you need a lot of desk space
This desk turned out great! The only reason it’s getting four stars is when I put it together the instructions were backwards when you get to second level where you’d put the monitors. It tells you to put the long wood on first, do not do this. Put the wood board on the metal rods and then put it across the entire desk. The screwdriver otherwise will not fit if you follow the instructions. It’s sturdy and a great outcome otherwise!
My desk arrived earlier than expected which was nice, but the box arrived with several tears and dents in it. There was even a hole through the cardboard and styrofoam, opening up to the desk surface. So I think my desk has some marks from that, but its hard to tell with the wood design on it. The instructions were pretty straightforward, there were really only two hiccups in the process. For screwing in the monitor shelf, there isnt actually enough room to fit a screwdriver between the surface of the desk and the shelf. If the order of the instructions were swapped around a bit, the problem couldve been avoided, but the design of this step was very poor. Secondly, the final screws from the top shelf into the top backboard did not go in easily for me. They would spin in place, and I could not remove/replace the white plastic they were supposed to screw into. I ended up improvising a solution and my desk is now set up, but it was not a very smooth process.
This desk requires 2 people to put together. It’s way too heavy for one person. The instructions were pretty straight forward but my issue was that towards the end we ran out of the screws we needed and the screws we were left with weren’t fitting right so that was frustrating and it took longer. It seemed like the dimensions were slightly off so there were some parts I couldn’t even put a screw in. Other than that I really like the desk.
Im a pretty critical person and I spend a lot of time trying to get the perfect item to fit a slot in my life. I took a chance on this desk despite the poor reviews. Its got solid reviews on other websites, and similar items on from the company are rated fairly well.
Its a bit more complex to put together than something youd buy at wal mart. But its by no means hard. The only thing I had any difficulty with are the ball bearing sliders for the drawer, which actually have a release lever you use to screw in both pieces. The quality, for particleboard products, is actually good. The styles nice. And its not wobbly considering the design of it- its a corner desk. Put it in a corner. Youll never have a sturdiness issue.
There werent any broken pieces. And I imagine the low ratings for this product are mostly about that occuring- its got a lot of parts, and its a large/heavy box. So it wouldnt surprise me if shipping was the cause of customer issues with this product. Just my 2 cents.
I really love this desk, just the esthetic I was going for. Got it together in about 1 hr with a drill. They do give you a nice screw driver to put together. Note they do have a step backwards in the instructions. The lower level shelf has screws on the underneath and you cannot tighten them in the steps they want you to take. I think it’s step 9, just to save some aggravation.
This wasn’t to hard to assemble but unfortunately some pre drilled holes either didn’t match up or their weren’t holes at all. Overall it’s still sturdy enough for daily use and looks good to boot. 8/10 on a bad day and 9/10 on a good day. Worth the money.
A very solid, very pretty desk! Overall Im happy with the product. There were a few small problems to note. First, I would like to note that unlike other reviews say, this desk is NOT truly reversible. You can definitely reverse it, but there is a single connection that will not match the holes in the tabletop and therefor will not be able to be screwed in. In spite of this, it seems totally structurally sound. The instructions and the product make no note of the desk being reversible so this is nothing against the desk.
Secondly, I had a few issues with the quality of the materials. As you can see in the attached picture you can see one of the bars splitting on a corner. I should have taken this picture before attaching it, but didnt think to. This was the condition of the bar out of the box. Several other metal pieces appeared scuffed, but the wood is fine.
The instructions are clear enough (with the exception of the support brackets which were depicted incredibly weirdly) but several of the screws were very difficult to screw in, either due to being tight fits or being at very weird angle. Still, I got it built in a single evening easily, while working on other projects, so it was generally easy to build.
Once it was built though, the desk is beautiful! Its sturdy, with the perfect amount of room. Would recommend.
Wish I could rate it like 4.5 stars Very sturdy and very good quality. Make sure you look at the measurements the desk was lower to the ground than i originally thought so i had to leave off the drawer so my legs wood have comfortable clearance and i’m only 6ft. Also the weight sort of played against the product for i believe some dents in the wood and metal might have been from annoyed delivery people for it is a heavy package. but worth the money.

You need to adjust instructions

The negative reviews appear to be more related to shipping companies than the product

Near perfect

This is a great desk, but it came damaged to me

Worth the money but check the Dimensions
