I really like this desk except for the following items. First, the packaging was very substandard. For example, the metal parts that are used for the shelving were in plastic bags, but none of the bags were taped shut allowing the metal parts to partially come out of the bags during shipping, which can and did cause minor damage to my desk. The wood parts had some covering, but again, not taped down and it partially came off of the shelves leaving it exposed. Second, the install instructions were pretty bad. No text instructions, just some very low-res drawings that had to be studied before assembly. There are two sets of shelves, one on each side of the desk. The instructions pictured the tall set of shelves on the left and the lower set of shelves on the right. I needed the tall shelves on the right side. I had to use those low-res drawings to figure out how to reverse that orientation. It would have been nice to have a clear and separate set of instructions for each orientation. I considered that a feature and there was no documentation describing how to reverse the shelves or even that they could be reversed. I would think that the manufacturer would have stressed that feature. It took extra time to figure out how to position the pieces to reverse the orientation. Over all, I like the desk. I just can’t figure out why a manufacturer would go through the process of making a nice desk and skimp on the packaging and the assembly instructions. I didn’t have any parts that didn’t line up properly as some have said, but I don’t screw the screws in all the way until I have assembled the desk completely. Then I went back and tightened all the screws. I would buy this desk again, but just understand that your desk may not arrive in as good a condition as mine did.
It was fairly easy to assemble by myself but another person wouldnt hurt. One of the vertical frame/leg pieces was the wrong part so I cant use the small shelf underneath on one side but it wasnt a big deal to drill a hole to run the bolts to at least get the thing built. If I was more patient Id have tried to swap that part out but only because I wanted that shelf. Lol other than that it is very sturdy and my monitor fits just right with a little room left to adjust height so overall its a win.
This desk is very very simple to put together alone. Took me about 45 min. With someone helping maybe 25 min. Sturdy, very spacious with the monitor shelf. About the monitor shelf. You build this product from the bottom up. Therefore the big desk top goes down then the small monitor shelf. Making it extremely difficult to tighten the screws underneath to hold down the shelf. (Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5). Picture below. Overall extremely pleased!
Easy instructions but at some points hard to assemble as screwdriver or Allen wench wouldn’t fit in the small spaces. So keep short tools on standby.
A bit uneven surfaces and slight imperfections in the wood print but nothing over the top noticeable.
Other than that, love my new desk and having the built in raised shelf helps tremendously
The product is wonderful. Our first shipment, however, was damaged by delivery company. immediately jumped into action and replaced the product for us without requiring us to repackage the damaged product and return it. They were fast, efficient, had great communication and left us feeling like an important customer. I would purchase from them again. The desk is wonderful...plenty of space for two work stations and beautiful to look at.
Whew chy!!! I’m making a review because some of these reviews are false... packaging is very efficient.. it’s bubbled wrapped a million times so there is no way it can be damaged... sounds like to me some people are just trying to get reimbursement... yes you see an imperfection on mines and this is cause I accidentally dropped it on my concrete floors... but seriously assembly is actually not that difficult took me 2 hours. The drawer is the tricky part someone uploaded a video which is very useful. I love the desk it matches my other bookshelves I have in the office to the T!!! Definitely worth the buy
The distinct design is why I purchased this desk- clean and simple looking with lots of interesting storage compartments... doesnt look too heavy in a space. Definitely well designed (which should mean a lot coming from an interior designer!). Not the most intuitive of directions for assembly, but with some help from youtube we were able to figure it out. Box came well packaged in bubble wrap, one leg was slightly bent but I was able to hammer it straight without damaging it (use something between hammer and leg like some cardboard). Few tiny scratches but they blend well w taupe finish which is really nice to look at and touch because its got some ridges.. makes it feel like real hard wood! I love the desk

Mighty Desk
I love this desk. It took longer than expected to assemble.
A nice desk but . . .

Mostly good.
