i looked through the reviews AFTER purchasing and saw someone said this desk gave them depression. i also saw it wouldnt support a 27 imac but that was with the shelf. i got worried but cant beat $50 and i got the chair because it was suggested to me on the same page as the desk(also around $50). if you dont put the shelf on it fits a 27 imac fine. the sturdiness is a little concerning. not sure if the overall design of the desk is the cause or if its because of the materials. both?
i got it because i needed a small desk for WFH, fast, and a lot were out of stock from multiple other online stores. i also didnt add the bottom shelving area because i dont need it. having another person to hold the pieces together while i screwed it together wouldve been nice, but you can definitely get it built by yourself. ill update this review if one morning i wake up to find the imac on the floor and the desk split in half.
theres a reinforcement bar of wood that is the first step in assembly. just dont give this desk the earthquake test and it should be okay.
TIPS:
-the number in parenthesis in the instructions corresponds to the screw or fixture youre supposed to use.
-look for pin sized indentations in the pieces to line up the screws. i almost missed that and used the predetermined holes instead
-triple check the pictures to make sure youre on track, some holes are very close to each other (hence almost missing the little dents for the screws)
take your time dont get discouraged!
