Quality of desk is very good. Nice modern feel.
Total build time took over 2-3 hours with no power tools.
Desk is light and easy to move around once built. Few items can damaged within package: etc: board inside the drawers.
Take your time while building this desk.
You will be pleased with the finish product!
I had recently moved to a new house and was in need of an affordable desk and this desk fits perfectly in my room. It was very easy to assemble. I would like if they marked which side of the bar will face the back and bolt onto the back support, besides that all the tools came along to assemble the desk. The leg room is good.
Upon opening this product from its packaging it was discovered that the packing material was in shreds and got EVERYWHERE as I was attempting to assemble the desk. Several parts were bent and had to be gently hammered back into their original shape and the assembly took several hours despite having two people assembling it. The fake wood coating on the pieces of material were sloppily wrapped and the pre-drilled holes had to be hollowed out from the wrap impeding the assembly process. Overall, it was not the quality I expected.
So most reviews already discuss the pain this is to assemble. They do not exaggerate. Ive assembled a lot of furniture in my life and these were high on the list of painful assemblies (not the worst - but really not good). We ordered 2 of these desks and it took us 3 hours to assemble the first one and 1 hr 45 minutes for the second one. I would not attempt to do this without at least 2 people - and better with 3. The instructions are accurate - but really not the easiest things to read or decipher. It would help if the drawer slider parts were marked separately instead of requiring you to try to match a drawing to the item. I cant believe you have to actually assemble the drawer itself - it would have been a lot more reasonable to have this thing partially assembled and just to have you put the legs on. But no - the entire desk needs to be assembled. Further - these boxes are HEAVY. The UPS delivery guy seemed to have no problem but my husband struggled, and there was NO WAY that I could have lifted that by myself so keep that in mind for delivery. I think because they are so heavy they are dropped a lot in shipping. We had one desk that was okay, but the other desk had damaged corners to 2 of the pieces. By pure luck the areas that were damaged are not highly visible - but it could have been a front corner and honestly by the time you haul this heavy box wherever it is going and open it up to assemble it - it would be impossible to repackage it and haul it somewhere to ship it back - so you really are rolling the dice that you are going to get a good one. I did see there had been an option to choose to have someone come to assemble it for you. I dont know how good that would be but might be worth considering. Not sure if the pain of waiting around for a stranger to come into your house and watch them for hours would be any better. Also not sure what THEY would do if the part is damaged - would they deal with returning the damaged package and come back when the new one arrived? I have to say UPS delivery man was super nice, seemed to handle it with care, and nicely put it inside my door and didnt just drop it outside. Finished product looks very nice for the price. Looks about the same as pictured - no real surprises there. It is a bit odd that the large drawer is actually a front for two separate drawers. Maybe it was just too large an expanse to have one large drawer - I am guessing the cardboard bottoms would probably collapse over that span... but it is just odd and would be more functional if you had one large drawer. Improvements would be (a) more solid drawer bottom (b) more clear labeling on slider parts and possibly better or even just larger drawings on the instructions (c) have the entire top part of the desk already assembled and just require the legs to be attached and (d) more solid packaging so corners are not damaged in shipping.
I actually ordered two of these! I love them! One of them holds my T-shirt press and is super sturdy, I was a little concerned at first but they have been perfect. The shelves on the side and underneath hold my baskets with my supplies in them and they have enough room for everything I need! I was worried but was extremely impressed! Instructions are easy to follow but I had one boards for the lower shelves on each crack a little from the screw going into it but it didn’t jeopardize the integrity of the desk as a whole
Just put it together yesterday. Very sturdy and good quality. Nice minimalist look as well. The little drawer at the top of the desk that holds / hides wires is a soft close - another great feature. A very good value!
The video should help understand what I experienced. Love it. My only problem is I had scratches and dents when it arrived but I didn’t care that much. I would say to add more protection when shipping it. If you can.

Good desk for a budget

Poor quality packing material that got everywhere and bent pieces discovered during assembly.

It was the longest process of putting together. In ...
It was the longest process of putting together. In the end it was worth the trouble. But be prepared for working on this for 2 hours.
Looks nice in the end, damaged in shipping and assembly is a huge pain

Sleek desk!
Took awhile to put together but we love the look! So sleek!
