The desk itself looks very nice, the two problems I had were: 1) the instructions were not very detailed and 2) the crossbars on the back did not have all the necessary holes drilled and the holes that were there, were not properly spaced. I could not get them to fit at all.
Meh. I love the length and width. I work with two large screens so I need a long, skinny desk. I like the shelf space that fits my PC perfectly. I know some people couldnt fit their PC in there but I have a couple years old hp and there is ample space around for cord access and breathability. What I dont like is that it is not level. The center part sits higher than the max height the legs adjust to so it has an upward bow in the middle. This could be remedied with a half inch board under the legs, but I dont like jimmy rigged stuff in my office. I like everything to work. Not a bad price (mine was slightly discounted for a busted up box), mine came with all the parts and hardware and if you follow the instructions closely it goes together quickly and easily. Do not try to set the back board with the cord access hole in the wrong direction because this will cause the cross braces to not line up. I wanted the cord access to be up high because my outlets are up high (basement). Tried as I might it would not set up this way.
I started putting this desk together at 11:30am and it is now 2pm. So, 2.5 hr to assemble all by myself (48 y-o female).
I could have finished putting it together in about 1/2 the time except for the fact that the instructions are lacking in that they do not clearly show up from down, back from front and that caused me to assemble part #3 (the one with the hole to accommodate electronic cords) the wrong side up - I only realized this by step 6, which caused me to have to backtrack and readjust.
Furthermore, step 8 (final assembly) was complicated by misaligned screw holes. As a result, one of the table tops does not sit exactly flush with the other. It is something I can live with (I am certainly NOT going to repackage the whole thing to send it back, that would do my sanity in) yet I dont think I should have to satisfy myself with a sub-par product.
Oh, and I have three extra screws (couldnt make them fit with holes) so, whatever, really.
Overall the desk itself isnt too bad. I put it together very easy by myself although not everyone might be able to, I had all my hardware and even have some extra in each piece. It was packaged really good with alot of support pieces and styrofoam to protect it in transport.
What I dont like about the desk which I can easily make do with is that it isnt 100% level on each side. One side sits on the floor nicely, and the other side sits higher. I even went back and double checked everything was secured together fully, and it was. Also the split in between the top pieces dont line up very well either. The split in between is smaller on the back part and a little bigger in the front.
Not too bad in my opinion.
First off! Ensure you open the entire package to verify you got right color. I almost sent back because a few wood pieces that were there for packaging/sheilding purposes were different colors then I ordered. Once I opened the entire package, I realized these pieces were only for protecting the product and that the actual product color was correct!
Other than that there was a decent sized dent in the frame, luckily it was hidden once assembled; however, it was still quite a blemish on a new product. Additionally, there was a little powder that looked like rust on some of the metal pieces. A simple wipe with a damp paper towel cleaned this up and as for the metal frame, didnt find any rusty spots on the frame, nor did i determine where the dust came from.
Other than that I am very happy with the product. Probably wouldnt recommend it to a good friend due to the way it was in a bit of sorry shape when we got it; however, this item will serve its purpose well and for the price it is an incredible quality once setup.
The assembly instructions felt very vague. The four stands that support the sides of the desk screw in; the issue is that they are too short to touch the ground; I tried unscrewing them to the point where they touch the ground but also are inside the desk. They didn’t quite touch the floor so I wedged bits of cardboard under them. Thankfully all the parts were in the box, but the box was opened upon my receiving it. Maybe it was spite from all those that had to handle it, as it weighed a considerable amount, my weak pathetic body had issue, I felt bad for the person who delivered up to the third floor of my apartment. Me and my partner really like being able to share an office now on the bright side of things. I felt ultimately this desk is worth the money.

Nice looking, functional. Mine was not designed well.

Great desk but missing parts
Great desk but came with missing parts! How can I complete the desk if I don’t have the parts! Missing B parts from the desk!
Works
Confusing instructions, but otherwise fine. Its cheap. A similar Ikea desk would be much more expensive. It works
Pretty okay if you ask me.

It gets the job done despite a few issues.

Not the best not the worst
Not the best not the worst. Definitely some problems with quality.
Not a good quality table.
The table is uneven and poor quality. Also the middle shelf is constantly falling.
