On opening the package, I was immediately struck by the difference in the color versus the pictures in the ad. I ordered “harvest” which appears in the ad to be a blond wood color, but the reality is significantly darker. The back panel is shown in the ad as white, but mine came black instead. So first impression already sucked.
Then during first stage of assembly, it became apparent that rather than the two different main side panels, I actually received two of the same panel. So holes for assembly are on opposite ends of the panels when they face each other.
Emailed customer support at the manufacturer to fix the panel issue. Maybe they can redeem a couple stars…
Update. Had to return the whole kit to get the one missing part. Amazon at least shipped the replacement package before I had to return, since the original packaging was shot by the time I got far enough to discover the problem. So more frustration.
After getting the replacement (pulled just the one part from the replacement package and returned the rest), the desk itself is decent for the money. With the metal frame it is more solid than others in its price range, so giving a couple stars back.

This desk was super easy to install despite some of the other reviews. It took me just over an hour to assemble. The finish and quality has far surpassed my expectations. The only thing I don’t about it is the drawers are very shallow and limits the amount of things you can put in them.

I will use this for a work table and second desk in my study. Its dimensions fit the limited available space quite well and I chose the harvest color as it most closely matches the warm oak finishes of the diverse assortment of my corner-computer desk, wood file cabinet, regular desk, and bookcases. It’s close enough, in any case. For the price, it’s a very good value. The materials should be quite serviceable for the moderate use I’ll put the table/desk to. Once assembled, it is seems very sturdy – the result of weighing ~50 pounds. The assembly required about three hours, but I didn’t rush and looked over the step-by-step graphic instructions (exploded diagrams) carefully as I proceeded. Many of the needed parts were clearly labeled and bubble wrapped. There was an additional bubble-wrapped section of extra hardware on the card, too. The parts that weren’t bubble-wrapped were well marked and packaged as well. The freight packaging was excellent and protected flawlessly during shipping.

I had to order this during COVID-19 quarantine season because I had to work from home and the desk that I’ve had since 2014 was too small and wonky for daily work.
Was not expecting it to be easy to assemble or have a fancy as some of the reviewers on here have posted negative stuff about it. Not my case. It arrive promptly with the box perfectly intact. The screws and bolts were nicely labeled and I was able to finish building it in 2 hours by myself (it took that long because I kept stopping to watch my favorite scenes of The Office). Seriously, the instructions were so easy to follow that a grade-schooler could probably do it. Every piece of the table was labeled with numbers! Easier than IKEA, to be honest.
I’m so happy with it. The drawers are perfect for my office needs, too. Don’t hesitate to buy this. It’s worth it for the price.

Despite the reviews on how hard this was to assemble I decided to order it. It took about 2.5 hours, and I had to call in back-up, but we got it finished. The directions are a bit tricky to understand at points, but the end result is worth it. It will be perfect for my home office.

This desk had the perfect trifecta of what I hope for in a product: good quality for a decent price, excellent packaging, and reasonably easy assembly. I ordered two of these for my home office and am quite pleased. They are sturdy. All the parts were there, and it was so clever that they were vacuum sealed onto a card with clear labels – no digging through little baggies and hoping you got the right thing. The pieces were all double packaged so there were no dings or scratches. Took about 45 minutes to assemble the first one and 20 minutes for the second. Everything was milled correctly so things fit well. Am using them right now and they look great!

Bought this to replace a L shaped desk that was just to long n shaped wrong for my computer room. Love the fact that the manufacturers included one extra of what u needed to put the desk together cause sometime u may break or lose a piece. Anyway, it took meal by myself 45 min. To assembled it .I’m happy with the way it looks. For the price I couldnt have done better going to Ikea ,which is 3 hrs away from me so that’s not an option. It feels solid when I lean on it and not flimsy at all. The draws slide in and out with no hang ups.

I really like this desk. It’s clean and modern and attractive. I like the color, and it fits my computer/keyboard/mouse, with supplies in the drawers. Everything works well. I’m not giving it 5 stars because the assembly, in my opinion, is a little outrageous for such a simple piece. I think it took me about 3 hours. Granted, I’m not the best handyman, but wow that was way more pieces and steps than I ever anticipated. You’ve been warned!
