I absolutely love this desk. It was pretty easy to assemble, however I find that it would be easier to put the first few pieces together if there are 2 people working together, other than that the instructions are fairly easy to follow and I was able to assemble it by myself in about an hour.
I didnt like the color of the legs when the unit came, as other reviews mentioned they are not really gold, theyre more of a mustard yellow color. So I spray painted mine to be more of a brass/champagne gold color and I like it a lot better. Ive included a picture of the color before painting and a color after painting, though the color got a little darker once the paint fully dried.
Overall the desk is sturdy with plenty of leg room. The desktop is nice and heavy and the pattern is beautiful. 10/10 would recommend.
Lets start with assembly, because I feel this is where Im most critical with this product. It was not the easiest or most clear with the instructions, but if youre familiar with Ikea furniture I wouldnt say its any more complicated.
I am a fairly handy individual, and it took me about 90 minutes by myself to completely finish, with most of the time just being comprehension problems, and trial and error in putting pieces together. Although I wouldnt call it a headache. Just a mild inconvenience.
As far as functionality goes I cant say enough great things about this. This desk has space for a keyboard and mouse, a lamp, several decorative features, a laptop, an actual computer tower, a 32 monitor, a stack of textbooks and a cup of coffee, and youll still have enough room to put pen to paper.
It is sturdy and I have no doubt with the 30/50lbs I have on it at the moment. Its been in use for about a month, and I have seen no signs of it letting me down.
Definite 5 stars, absolutely would buy another one if I had a use for it.
the desk looks nice from afar, but up close you can see the seems starting to separate right out of the box on all 3 pieces. It looks like any wrong movement over the corners and edges will start to lift the marble look overlay.
I put this together by myself (60 yrs young) and only had to make one adjustment (so easy). I read a few reviews that said the desk came with no instructions which made me a little nervous. sent them to me via email, however, the package had two sets of instructions enclosed (LOL). I am very happy with the final result. Its not a big desk but suits my needs perfectly. I have two monitors on it, a lamp, a plant and I still have plenty of desk space. Ive set it up in a bedroom which isnt a large room to begin with and I still have plenty of space to move around in. Its sturdy and beautiful (marble/gold tone).
I assembled alone but it would have been easier with a second person. One of the outside legs came without predrilled holes for the bottom screws but I was able to assemble the desk while I contacted the seller
