I bought several of these and another from the same manufacturer for an ongoing remodel of my office. They are decent enough pieces of furniture for the price you are getting them for. I was expecting the bookshelves to be taller and deeper than they are but that's my fault as the description clearly gives the dimensions of each. I just personally fail at spatial recognition.
Assembly Notes: First off get yourself a power drill with a 5/32 (4mm) hex head bit. It will save you from exhausting yourself while trying to put the shelf section together. You do NOT want to do it with just the included allen wrench. Next, when putting the bookshelf section together make sure that all of the holes line up with each other as it will save you from needing to take it apart and reassemble it. For the desktop part, there is one of the cross bars that has a hole with a washer mounted around it. Make sure that this points down. Same goes for the legs on the short side, there is what looks like an odd hole on one of the legs. That needs to point inwards and needs to be on the same side as the above mentioned hole from the desktop side.
Pros:
- Cheap
- Fairly straight forward to assemble.
- Comes with everything you technically need and a few extra pieces.
Cons:
- The instructions while straight forward do not show alignment of various connection points and holes for future steps very well. So it's easy to assemble things wrong and not realize until you are several steps past and things don't line up.
- The boards will chip/splinter if you need to do any drilling on it. I had to drill through in a few spots to install some grommets for cable management and a monitor arm. Thankfully I drilled from the top through to the bottom, but even with brand new drill bits it still ripped off a good chunk of the finish on both drill holes. As they are underneath it doesn't really affect anything but still be aware.
- Desk wobbles slightly while typing on my keyboard causing my monitors to shake. This isn't really so much the items fault as it's just a light weight desk and without strapping it to the wall/floor there is not really anything to keep it from shaking as you move your arms.
Something to keep in mind, the instructions arent phenomenal. Other than that, it was easy to assemble, well packaged, and sturdy. For the price, youll have a tough time finding a better desk.
bigger than i expected... good. solid build and the top shelf is easily removable to fit stuff in that space. got two monitors and my PC with no issues
Came with no hole for the screw to go through for the side piece of the top shelf. Overall very happy with the design. Looked exactly like the picture. It was very difficult to screw in screw with tools provided. Recommend getting your own tools with a handle versus supplied tools.
The short review:
This desk is a good value. It's not a good desk.
Longer review:
This desk looks nice, it has a good layout, and it's fairly stable.
The quality is a real you get what you pay for situation. I think a drunk monkey did the welding. The parts are not smooth and almost nothing lays flat. On top of that, one of predrilled holes is busted. You cannot get the screw to go in there.
Putting this together is not fun. The instructions are terrible. They don't give you anything to look out for. Twice I had to backtrack because things were on backwards. Thankfully there are not many parts, but it's still really annoying when if they could have put a heads up on the a couple of the steps to make sure you have things lined up right.
There is enough room for a 27 and a 24 monitor to sit side by side. It's possible you could fit two 27s if you put them at angles and they have small bezels.
The only reason this is coming in at four stars is the price point. Compared to other desks at this price point, this is a pretty good deal.
I got the 47 inch and I'm super super happy with it. I did put one part together wrong but it didn't affect the sturdiness or overall look. Beautiful white and I added lights to it. I have a small room but had no problem fitting this in. Worth the money.

Nice Student Desk
Easy to assemble. Perfect for dorms for students.
Great for Work
I have been working from home so needed a desk to work more comfortably at work. It looks great, the desk is very nice and sturdy.

Great desk, bad instructions
Something to keep in mind, the instructions arent phenomenal. Other than that, it was easy to assemble, well packaged, and sturdy. For the price, youll have a tough time finding a better desk.
Concealed damage
Returned the desk, box was damaged on one corner and once opened, the top of the desk had a split in it where there was no damage to the box.
decent desk
bigger than i expected... good. solid build and the top shelf is easily removable to fit stuff in that space. got two monitors and my PC with no issues
Manufacturing Error, Beautiful Desk
Came with no hole for the screw to go through for the side piece of the top shelf. Overall very happy with the design. Looked exactly like the picture. It was very difficult to screw in screw with tools provided. Recommend getting your own tools with a handle versus supplied tools.
Good product for the price
The only con is that the directions were ripped.
