First off, this box is HEAVY!
1. There are extra wood pieces that support the box/package for shipment. That’s all they’re used for. Unless it ends up like mine. Not level. Then, you will take one of those wood pieces and use them to level it. *sigh*
2. The piece with the cord hole. The ugly red color side (yes a few pieces are different color on one side), that piece faces outward. So this desk can only be used against a wall. I made the mistake of putting that red side, inward. Because why would the wood not match on the outside, right? Wrong. The metal bars in the back need that side facing outward to screw them on.
3. Install was a little tedious at times. Just when I thought things were going smoothly, I had to use logic, since it doesn’t say in the directions, which way each piece went on. Some pieces had labels, some did not. The top part of the cubby is smaller than the rest, don’t question it. It will be covered by the desk top pieces.
4. Those darn desk top pieces. Just when you see the end in sight, those darn things come in to play and the holes don’t match up in the middle. So, you take the bolts out of the end you already secured in, flip it around and start at the middle instead and they actually fit there! Yessss! Then you go back to the other end, very happy because you’re just about done, but then those don’t line up...NOT even close. *face palm* thankfully the side holes match up so you can secure it a bit. Then, you move onto the next side (since it’s a double station, the top is 2 sections— thought it was 1). That side goes on the way it should, but you can’t tighten the front side down because the hole is stripped.
5. Get a different desk. Unless, this doesn’t bother you and you want take the chance that you will get the correct pieces.
6. This is a super large desk, just what I was looking for. Just wish it assembled correctly. Very disappointed.
The top doesn’t line up correctly to install.
