However I wouldn't buy this desk from this vendor or amazon. Seeing as it's priced at 95 bucks and add in shipping, you're looking around 130 for the final product to your door. If you go to a local Ikea and/or buy it from the ikea website (providing it's in stock) you'll pay 69 bucks. I drove 3 hours to the local one and bought it in Orlando. The amount of gas it took for us to get there was less than buying it off of amazon at nearly double the price after shipping.After having this desk for 5 months i lowered my rating to 4 stars. Apparently using this desk as a computer desk just won't cut it for long time use. My mouse has worn off the brown coating on top of the desk showing a light brown bald spot where i frequent my mouse. Still is standing and working fine, but I'm probably going to have to paint the top now if I want to continue to use it and care about it's looks. I suppose if you guy this desk and then put some sort of covering on top to protect it, then it might be fine. I am classroom teacher in the Los Angles area. I teach high school English. It is no secret, most of the things that we need (computers, desks, textbooks!)are not provided by our school districts. This desk is used every day (laptop, books, attendance sheets...) it is not a superstroNG DESK, but it does the job, and the design is sleek, chic, modern....AND WHAT'S BEST IS THAT THE DESK WAS UNDER 100 BUCKS! you need to assemble the desk. Lucky for me, some of my students are more than eager to assemble the things I buy--great product.The desk as served me for three years now, but as a major flaw. When I installed it on a slightly down curved floor (less then 1/4 of an inch) the middle part of the desk started to detach. After a couple of months, while working both drawers fell, hurting me. You get what you pay for and this desk was very cheap. I am so embarrassed by the tacky look of it, I am heading out to buy a replacement desk and then burn this one. This is after spending about four hours putting it together. If I hadn't had a cordless screwdriver, it would probably have been four days. There are that many parts. I am a fan of a lot of Ikea products but this isn't one of them. Also, the packaging looked like it went through a train wreck and the product was chipped and scratched as a result. Especially on the corners. Very great look & space conserving! Installation is not difficult, maybe 2 out of 5 for difficulty. Ships very fast, packaged very well. Product isn't light. Wouldn't recommend building alone but I did with no problems. :) The desk as served me for three years now, but as a major flaw.

Mine is ALL WHITE (which is what I wanted and even though it had one nick on the desk surface which I touched up with White Out), I was so happy to find it to use for a SEWING DESK. The two shallow drawers are just right for storing the small sized supplies you need while sewing. However, after about six months of light use, it is now sagging in the middle, which makes it look poorly constructed/designed. I am trying to figure out what to use to attractively support the middle so I can continue using it. Maybe an adjustable stainless leg? Or a small drawer unit to sit under it at one end? I have removed all of the items which may have caused it to sag (except, of course, the sewing machine, which is placed near the right end).
I have enjoyed incorporating many IKEA products in my home over the last 14 years and love almost everything I've purchased from IKEA, so this was disappointing. The three WHITE IKEA KITCHENS I've installed were very attractive and functional and helped sell the homes). Good desk. Took me about 30 minutes to assemble and instructions were pretty straight forward. Fits in tight spaces; very minimalistic design, that looks great with dark wood furniture. Perfect for everything I needed. Pretty durable and sturdy as well. All tools are provided except a screw driver to assemble the desk. The only other thing you need is an allen wrench, which they provide.
