First of all, I bought 2 of these. We wanted matching desks for my
husband and I in the living room. We paid around $89 each in January
2011. When first removing the parts, I thought we had a great desk, the
wood is a little thicker than other desks made this way. I was a little
disappointed by the plastic dowels that help hold the pieces together.
Most manufactuers use wooden dowels. I was also disappointed with the
plastic drawer slides on the drawer. These are 100% plastic with plastic
tabs that you lightly hammer into the wood. Each piece (there are 4, 2
on the desk and 2 on the drawer) only has 1 screw to help hold it in
place. You tap in these plastic pieces about 1/2 way though the
construction, by the time I got to the very end to put the drawer into
the desk, these had popped out about 1/2 way, so I had to grab the
hammer and tap them back in in order to get the drawer into place. My
biggest disappointment would be that nice shelf that runs along the back
of the whole desk. This DOES NOT screw down at all. It has 4 of the
above mentioned plastic dowels and basically sits right on top of the
desk. There are very shallow holes on the top of the desk for the
plastic dowels to sit into. You can very easily knock the entire thing
off. This would explain why they don't show the monitor on that shelf in
the pictures.... I'm not sure why they designed it this way, there is
ample room for them to install some cam locks and screws and attach it
to the desk more securely. Also, be sure to check your pieces, one desk
was missing 2 cam locks, the other was missing 3!
As far as the
instructions go, some pieces were not marked as other reviewers have
said. Also, it does not tell you which way to have the finished edge
facing, so you're not putting things on backwards, when applicaple. You
need to pay attention to that. Othewise, I didn't feel that the
instructions were hard to understand. I put together both desks while
making dinner, took about 2 hours in all. I will be posting pictures
soon with the above mentioned problems. You'll be able to see then from
the product page, where the manufactuer pictures are. Aside from the
shelf not being attached to the desk more securely, I really like these
desks. The color is great, mine came very well packaged, no damage at
all.
Follow up: April 2011. We've had these desks for a few
months now and both hold up very well. We do have our monitors on the
small shelf I mentioned above and it has not, as of yet, fallen down. We
have both desks back to back, so there really is no way to accidentally
hit the shelf and cause it to fall, like I feared would happen. All
together a very nice little desk.
This was a great buy for me and so far I am very pleased with the
purchase. I think the desk looks like youve spent alot more. The wood is
strong and the color is great. It was simple to put together, just a
female over here with a few simple tools. Would reccommend this to
anyone looking for a great desk at a good price!
It is smaller than what I expect but it is as described. I loved the
color. The design is cute and the price is affordable for a high quality
wood. It is a strong wood that does not get scratched quickly. It is
perfect for small rooms to save space. It could be used by adults,
teenagers, and children. It is small but somehow I like it and I would
recommend it.
I brought this desk as it was cheap and the perfect size for my room. It
was a pain to set up (took about 3 hours) but after everything is
worked out, it becomes a great product. I am able to fit all my
videogames on the convenient bookshelf as well as all my text books when
I am studying. My laptop fits nicely on the desk too.
My only
issue with the desk is that it has sharp edges. It's a small issue and
still deserve the 5/5 rating I am giving it. Must buy in my opinion.The desk is supper heavy and completely unstable. A Piece of JUNK.
It
has millions of small heavy pieces that are supposed to fit together
with some plastic little things that are supposed to go inside some
holes??!!!! It takes forever to assemble the millions heavy pieces and
at the end, you have a wobbly table.
One star is way too much, I wish Amazon would let me do -500 stars
I am a college student that needed a sturdy, inexpensive desk and this
one definitely suited my needs. The chocolate brown is closer to back
than brown, but it is still nice. It took a little while to put
together, but well worth it. Plenty of storage space, although I wish it
had a second drawer.
The number of "wood" pieces and hardware that came out of the box was
intimidating. The instructions weren't a lot of help. But if you've
put together furniture pieces before, you can figure this one out. You
must first insert all hardware into the appropriate pieces, using
pictures to direct you. Once all the hardware is in, it's fairly easy
to actually assemble the pieces. It took us about 2 hours from start to
finish, including head-scratching time. The desk is just what we were
looking for, simple but functional. The drawer and keyboard tray work
smoothly. The keyboard tray is a good size with plenty of room for a
keyboard and mouse pad. The color and finish are what I expected and
match the advertised picture. We're happy with the purchase.
I bought two, one for each of my kids. It took a while to put the first
one together (puzzling out the instructions), but the second one went
pretty quickly. All parts were there, nothing missing. The desks have
held up well so far (it's only been a few weeks)and they look very nice,
as long as you like dark furniture.
I bought this desk last year and it arrived in time and all the parts
were accounted for. It is not the greatest quality desk out there but
for this price range it is among the best. The top shelf is not securely
attached and it could fall over if the desk is not placed against a
wall. The drawer is spacious and its more than enough for my needs the
bottom shelves are adjustable to your needs and are very deep. One thing
that did bother me was that it came with a few scratches and with time I
added a few more unintentionally. But I wouldn't say that it makes the
desk look less attractive. Just be careful what you put on it. One last
thing, the edges of the desk are supper sharp I've already hurt myself
with them.
Overall, its a good price, a good desk, its small enough for a bedroom and it is extremely functional.
This is was an awesome buy!! it was great experience putting th table together..the manual was so neat and very helpful!!
It s a very compact table for our house...
The package it is in is so flimsy that anyone who moves it will rip a
hole in it. It was a hole in it when I got it. I kept it because once
you open the box you can't repackage it so returning would mean buying a
box to put it in. Luckingly for me, the damaged part was in a place no
one can really see.
This is beautifully crafted and looks just like the picture. It has
ample space for all your office supplies it is very sturdy and easy to
put together. For the price you cannot find a better desk. It looks
great in my office!
