A surprisingly solid workspace
By Jack Skalitzky on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2018
I'm happy to report that my pieces arrived in very good condition--there were minor cosmetic flaws, but no cracks or dents that would make me question the integrity of the desk. I was a little concerned about the state of the drawer rails, as they're slightly bent (see attached picture), but upon closer inspection I realized that's how they're meant to be and I can confirm that they work perfectly well.The assembly process went smoothly; it took an hour, maybe an hour and a half from start to finish. You'll definitely need a hammer, and I would recommend using a screwdriver other than the one that comes with the desk; it felt flimsy and seemed much worse at actually screwing things in. I completed the assembly without power tools without much difficulty, but I could see where a drill would make things easier. I did it on my own, and none of the parts were too heavy to maneuver; the most difficult part was attaching the desktop and hutch to the bottom which might take a second pair of hands.The instructions were clear, for the most part; the pictures did a good job showing where everything went. However, there were some parts of the manual which were incorrect, such as the counts for how much of each part or which connector you're to use. To my knowledge, though, the pictures were accurate, and I deferred to them when I ran into an issue with the instructions (and I wound up with a solid desk from it).As for the parts: everything is clearly labeled, mostly. Some of the stickers indicating the part number came partially scratched off, but it wasn't too hard to figure out what was what--again, the pictures were a great guide. (Later on, as it turned out, the stickers became a bit of a pain--they're hard to get off completely without any residue.) The various screws and connectors came helpfully separated, although it's worthwhile to double check the counts when you get the desk--I didn't have any issues with having too /few/ screws, but I /did/ have too many by the end of the build. I assume if they can miscount in one direction they can miscount in the other. There is a separate bag containing spare parts, but it doesn't hurt to be careful!Once everything was all set up, I was very pleased with how the desk came out. The drawer and keyboard tray work smoothly, and there's a good amount of desk space on top. The shelf they provided for the side cabinet is a little unstable, though, so I would be careful about putting too much weight or something fragile on it. All told, it's a great, compact workspace--perfect for a small apartment or dorm.

sturdy desk, incorrect drawer roller directions
By Kayla Goodman on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021
Overall the desk turned out great and I don’t regret my purchase. Most of it was easy to assemble, but the reason I’m docking it is because of some of the directions that DID give me issues:1. There were many pre-drilled holes that were incorrect, so I had to make new ones myself by hammering the screw to get the hole started.2. There were MANY errors with the directions for the drawer rollers. I had to take out all the screws I put in and put them in a new place on the drawer roller to get the drawer and keyboard tray to work!!! Had I left them as the directions said, I wouldn’t have been able to even get them on the tracks, AND they wouldn’t have shut all the way due to the screws getting in the way even though I screwed them in as much as possible. I was able to finally get the keyboard tray so that it does not stick out, but as you can see from my picture, the drawer still sticks out. I don’t feel like taking out ALL of those screws and moving them AGAIN to be able to make the drawer close all the way because it’s not worth the pain, but I definitely find it annoying!I had a missing part (bottom of drawer) so I contacted the company and they quickly sent me the part for free. The desk is sturdy and I was impressed with the customer service with the missing part, but I found the incorrect directions and pre-drilled holes incredibly infuriating.
