I love this desk. It looks so nice in person and seems like a pretty sturdy product. I would have given a 5/5 but my one complaint is that I cant cross my legs underneath. I know thats very minor, but I tend to sit like that during my work day, so will need to learn to adjust now. Would buy again!
The desk is beautiful and easy to install. The housing/frame used to attach the legs cuts into your leg space though, by several inches. It leaves only 22 inches clearance from floor to the underside of the desk. Not sure what Im going to do about it now that its assembled. Wish I realized the height restriction below the desk before I purchased. There was also a small black ball stuck in one of the screw holes, which wouldnt come out. Had to use a drill to break down the plastic before I could finish assembly.
I have put together a LOT of furniture over my life time and this was by far the easiest! From the greatest instructions to the simplest of labeled parts, this was awesome. Took less than 30 min to put together from opening the box to throwing the trash out. And THANK YOU to the maker for not leaving me with a few extra random screws. (Hate that) The solid pieces themselves didnt just have holes for some of the screws but rather metal threaded ends that some screws went into, giving it extra strength since it is only patrical board. Did not know there was a cord whole, but am glad there was. The drawer was super easy to put together and when put into the desk was only slightly off perfect. Rolled in fine, I did not use the plastic stoppers for the drawer though.
Overall I like this desk, however it had a major flaw. It was not packaged well and as a result there were some damaged parts. The damage on larger parts was going to be hidden, to I decided to build the desk anyway. The drawer bottoms (some kind of reinforced paper) were badly damaged however. They are basically just reinforced paper with a printed veneer on them. My fix was to cover them in packing tape to hold them together, but I am disappointed in what I tried first. I contacted about the damage and what they wanted to do was have me disassemble the entire desk and send it back. Then they would send me a replacement. Another option was to buy and advance replacement and wait for a refund. We are talking about a large heavy box here, not something easy to send back. I decided to reach out to the manufacturer instead because clearly it would make sense for them to have parts available. Nope, they suggested that I return the desk to as well. It is annoying that I could not get a couple of cardboard pieces 12x15 inch or so sent to me to replace the damaged parts. At this point I was also unwillling to disassemble the desk and take all the parts to the UPS store to send back. Overall the desk is nice although and perfectly sturdy, but if yours arrives in a damaged box dont hesitate to send it back right away.
It took a bit over an hour for me to put together, but there were no quality issues with any of the parts. Everything fit together easily, and it feels pretty solid. The metal frame is substantially thicker than the other cheap desk I bought from . I liked how most of the assembly hardware was packaged in a clear hard plastic and clearly labeled. Also, an extra set of each type was included, although none of it was needed. The drawers feel a bit flimsy but should be fine for typical use. Overall, Im satisfied with the purchase.
Its a nice size, good price, and reasonable to assemble. With that being said: we have walnut finished furniture and this is not walnut. As you can see, the legs of our chair are walnut and match the rest of the furniture. This desk is lighter, more of an oak finish maybe. Its nice enough that it doesnt matter much though. Id recommend it.
This desk is super attractive. I had a friend help me assemble it and we got it done pretty quick. The legs attach to a square of wood thats attached to the bottom. The wood is thick and strong. I have a 2 monitor arm attached to it right now, plus my laptop, extra keyboard, and all the normal weighted stuff. The legs are all even and the desk feels very sturdy. We had some trouble attaching one of the drawer tracks and and idk if thats the reason but the door gets stuck about 1 from both opening and closing. It eventually closes/opens with good shove or pull but Ive smashed fingers several times. That may be a user error but its frustrating. My only real issue with the desk is the box that the legs attach to drops too low. Im only 5 tall and I have an ergo desk chair at its lowest setting and I hit my knees on the wood box. The desk is very pretty and fits perfect in my office. I just wish I didnt bang my knees all the time.

This desk is not quite what I expected, but its a nice basic desk. First off, the color is not true to the photo, the picture shows it to be an ashy white oak but this is quite the classic yellowish-orange oak. Its not my favorite look. And if it was all real wood I could just refinish it, but of course its got plastic and chipboard components to it, so that is not an option. Once assembled, and if you can get past the color, its a cute desk. The space behind the white sliding partition is not as easy to access as Id like, but this is a very simple desk, cant ask for too much.

Great purchase, super sturdy and worth the money

Knee knocker!

Looks great!
Overall happy with the product. It came on time. And takes limited space, esthetic and convenient.

Drawer does not open and close properly
Love the look, but drawer is not sitting correctly. Hoping my husband can fix
Very nice but the color isnt quite right.
