I searched high and low for the right desk for my mini home office, I bought the file cabinets ages ago and used wood flat doors as the top, HUGE mistake, it just didn’t work. It took me a good 2 hours to assemble this gem and I was a bit nervous about it, from some reviews, but it’s beyond sturdy, everything fits together perfectly, the instructions aren’t the best but if you’re remotely intelligent you can figure it out, my file cabinets fit perfectly underneath, andMy home office is finally Coming together! If you’re on the fence, buy it, it’s a bit larger than I thought, the gold is a muted gold, so glad I purchased it, take the plunge!Very happy with this desk. Cost under $140 (list price, tax, Prime shipping). Decent packaging, all parts received and identified with stickers. About 2.5 hours assembly time by one individual. Unit is sturdy. Nice size desk top. Absolutely no complaints. Engineer/designer did a good job.Follow best practices when assembling and you should have no problems. Identify all parts, review and understand assembly procedure before any assembly. Once assembly has started, take all fasteners to finger tight or first resistance. Once fully assembled, go back and torque down fasteners.I was a bit concerned about assembling this desk after reading the reviews but it was really very simple! The instructions, while minimal, were more than enough to put this together. It took me no time at all to get it put together, no assistance needed. It took me longer than that to clean out the old desk I was getting rid of.I bought the black version - and I love the look. It looks great and is sturdier than expected. I have 2 computers set up as well as a laptop and there is plenty of room leftover on the desk. Highly recommend!Sturdy and stylish. Easy to assemble if you take your time and pay close attention to the diagrams although there were a few head scratching moments. Also, I did not tighten anything down until it was completely assembled. Cons-the feet were not the metal looking ones in the pictures-they were black plastic. The top had a small dent, the edges of the desk top were stained (the box looked wet, so this may have happened in shipping) and the top was almost cracked where they pre drilled the holes underneath. The last is only noticeable at an angle, and my keyboard covers it so I’m ok with it. Also, in hind sight, I would have consider getting the desk that was squared off, not beveled. My desk is in the corner, and I could have used the space behind the monitor to hide cords or place a lamp. My husband is afraid I’m going to push the monitor back and off the edge. Let’s hope not. Overall, very happy for the money spent. Looks great in my office.This is a fantastic buy, especially at its low low price point. It’s sturdy and gives you tons of room. It was so cheap I was suspicious that it would be a lot smaller than it seemed in the pictures, but nope, it’s legit. The only pain point is an annoying assembly process - they only give you like three diagrams labeled with a ton of stuff going on in each one and it’s kind of a logic puzzle putting it together. But worth it because I love the desk.This desk is great for the price. No trouble with assembly and looks great!If you hate assembling IKEA furniture, you are going to hate assembling this desk. The instructions are worse. Slightly. All images and each piece has multiple holes. Also, look at the front and back of the instructions BEFORE attempting to assemble anything. Don’t tighten screws all the way until all the screws are in. For example, the corner piece table top has 5 screws. Do not tighten them all the way until all five are in. Its a $100 desk so its cheaply made and the holes do not perfectly line up like IKEA furniture. Waiting to tighten the screws will give you the wiggle room to align all of the holes. I learned the hard way. Last, if you have trouble “finding the hole”, you might want to have a friend help. And use a flash light. Trying to line up some of these screws with their respective holes is reminiscent of trying to plug a charger into a wall socket next to your bed at night. Ultimately, it took me about an hour and a half to assemble. Thats with a sinus headache, a fresh pair of acrylic nails, and at 11:30pm. Granted I am also really good with picture instructions. It feels sturdy but I would advise not sitting/leaning on it and don’t load it up with a ton of stuff. Don’t over tighten the screws. The metal part is aluminum and I actually started to warp pieces from over tightening. Its a $100 desk. Have realistic expectations.I was looking for an L shaped desk that would give me more desk top room. I use to be so cluttered and always knock stuff over. This desk is perfect for what I need it for. Super easy to put it together. My husband and I put it together in about 45 min. I was able to fit some drawers, paper shredder and my trash can under the desk with plenty of leg room still. If you work from home this desk is perfect!Only took about an hour to assemble and everything (panels, frame pieces, screws etc.) lined up perfectly. Package had a damaged corner and had obviously been dropped hard during shipment, and as a result the 2 largest desk top panels had slight corner damage. But I contacted the manufacturer and they took care of it right away by offering me a replacement desk or a reasonable reimbursement for the damage. The desk is very sturdy and spacious for the price, although the top panels seem somewhat thinner than the product photos seemed to represent. But overall very good value and excellent customer service. My rating in all categories is actually 4 1/2 starsI got the new desk in the mail and when I was about to assemble the new desk some of the leg pattings is missing, this will harm my floor when I assemble the desk.i'd only pay 100 bucks if i saw this thing in real. not worth the money at all. not solid wood. and it shakes! when u typing on ur keyboard! worst ever.Easy to assemble, beautiful and sturdy enough for two laptops and two screens. I’m really happy with it so far!This desk was easy to assemble and looks awesome
