Instructions are pretty good with only a little confusion on door slider placements. Other than that the engineering on this was superb. I couldn't believe how accurate every single hole that was pre-drilled was placed. I mean this is obviously a computer controlled drilling CNC machine that they spent a lot of time programming becuase everything was perfect!!!!
For the price you will not be able to buy a nicer, stronger, more good looking desk. Forget solid wood desks as they easily cost 4 to 5 times the amount.I bought this desk to use for a home office in which I work from home on a laptop. This desk is stylish and perfect for the room. It does take a while to put together 3+ hours, but it was well worth it. The top of the desk was slightly dented during shipping but other than that it came in good shape. All in all a good purchase for someone looking for a stylish desk without spending upwards of 600-800 dollars (I got it for 175 with free shipping). I was expecting a lower quality product; perhaps loose fiberboard with very rigid laminate shell. Instead I got a very dense fiberboard with very rigid laminate shell. It went together very well and is quite sturdy. The only real negatives: poor instructions (not super poor; I imagine online videos are quite useful.) One thing I disliked was having to nail the backing on; it just felt wrong. I think rotating clamps would have been a better idea (though I do understand that it is intended to give an illusion of a fully wood desk.) My desktop was slightly damaged during transit (nothing major) but when notified of this, Sauder sent a new one free of charge. I have to say that I am very, very impressed. I received my order fairly promptly. Unfortunately, several pieces were damaged during transit. The box wasn't in the greatest condition, so returning the desk was problematic. I reported the situation to the seller immediately and went through the trouble of providing pictures of the damage. I was assured I would receive replacement parts in a few days. When several days passed with no word from them, I became concerned and contacted them a second time. They told me the replacement parts would ship out from the manufacturer that evening and that I would receive an email with tracking information soon afterward. Haven't heard from them since. It's been nearly 2 weeks since I first contacted the seller. I finally broke down and assembled the desk yesterday because I got tired of walking around the pile of peices, and I need to be able to use my computer. The damage is clearly visible even from across the room (the black finish on the desk makes the gouges pop pretty dramatically), but at least I can use my computer now.
Personally, I didn't find it terribly difficult to assemble, though it took me a good hour and a half. The instructions certainly could've been more clear, but that seems to come with the territory of buying anything that requires assembly. If not for the damage, the desk would be great. I must say I DO NOT like this desk. The color looks horrible! If ur looking for something that looks black, dont buy this cause mine looks more brown. The reason I am giving it 3 stars is its VERY sturdy & looks high quality. Had good directions also that were easy to follow. As of this review, the few pictures on the listing are just too small to judge, especially when looking at comparisons.
Dimensions - if they're somewhere in this listing, I didn't see them.
I can't imagine why the weight is important but not the size of the desk.
Should have put something more in about the construction and materials too.Was not what we expected. Cheaply made - lots of scratches - and anticipate alot more so we had to go out and purchase a glass top to keep the desk from scratching. Put together was not bad once you got the hang of it. Paint job leaves alot to be desired. Pevioulsy owned a Sauder's desk that was a much better quality. Did not scratch and wore very well for 20 years. Should have repainted the old one in leiu of buying this one. This is a really nice looking, sturdy desk. Dont think you could get better unless you wanna spend $400 plus for solid wood in a furniture store (trust me we looked everywhere for a desk) The 1 and only reason i gave it 4 stars vs 5 is because it is time consuming to put together. Not thats it's difficult, just takes time. Looking at it now though I am very happy with the purchase, just have patience with the assembly.. The box itself is not all that big in size, but it's packed pretty tight and weighs 140 lbs, so you'll need someone to give you a hand if you want to move it. I had the delivery guys bring it directly to my office, so I wasn't bothered. Majority of the pieces are labeled, either with stickers or with marker on the side. Some however are not. The hardware comes in one bag, so you'll have to sort it all out. I used small zip lock bags to keep organized, I'd recommend you do the same. I was lucky, all of the bolts, screws and nails were there, and none of the pieces were damaged in the box. Off to a good start.
Assembly:
I've had previous experience in putting together furniture, so I'm not new to this kind of endeavor. I found the assembly to be fairly simple and straightforward. In fact, I was actually surprised that I didn't need any assistance from my wife. So yes, you can puzzle it together on your own. Just take your time, lay out the pieces beforehand and make sure they're labeled, read ALL of the instructions, and follow them to the 't'. I did that, and everything was going great. I was about 4 hours in on this project, and getting down to the end, all I needed to do was put the drawers together, attach the rails, and slide them in. That's when the fun began. The way those drawers are designed, the holes for the rails on the sides are pre-drilled symmetrically so you can attach the face of the drawer to either side of the box. The instructions don't specify which side is the front, it's basically your choice. Well, needless to say, apparently those holes were pre-drilled incorrectly in one direction, the side I chose. The bottom drawer ended up leaning to the right, the top one was leaning to the left. It took me a couple hours of adjustment before I realized it just wasn't going to work. So I took the rails and the face piece off, and reversed the sides. To my surprise everything now lined up horizontally, I just now had to adjust the fitment vertically, which wasn't a big deal. So if you run into the same issue, keep this in mind and save yourself some time.
