Black Corner Desk

Rating

Nightmare to assemble. Very POOR workmanship. Mine is all damaged b/c you have to twist and tun this thing to assemble. Dowels don't stay. I had to run out and buy glue for the CORK (not wood) assembly. It was a terrible experience. I still need to reinforce the legs on the table by adding some extra screws to the front legs. This table was my biggest disappointment from Overstock. Everything else has been a breeze! And on the other side of the spectrum!

The quality is poor. I know it is an inexpensive piece but you have to be very careful or you will damage it. We were very careful when putting it together because you could see it was not high quality. When putting in one of the dowels it just went right through and damaged the top. I have covered it with the monitor. I would return it but I think it would be more trouble than it would be worth. The packaging was very flimsy. It looks good in the picture but it is not worth the money.

The order was shipped and received in a timely fashion. The box arrived totally crushed/damaged taped up all over ,with footprints on it (obviously UPS doesn't care too much what they do with their shipments). Possibly too heavy of an item for them. The desk would look nice if it had not been damaged. Although it is over priced for the quality. The desk top was totaly scratched and indented. I have called customer service for the company and they have told me they will send a new desk top. The other pieces have small marks that I colored in with a black marker as was stated in another review post. The assembly was fairly easy except for some holes missing, but since it's not hard wood , it was fairly easy to make your own holes. The draw closure does not fit very well, but it is mostly opened or has a chair in front of it and is not noticeable. Does fit nicely in the corner.

I received the box open because it wasn't taped good enough. Even so, amazingly, I only need 3 replacement pieces and I am currently waiting for them.Do not follow instructions too strictly. My husband said they are badly written and he didn't even look at them after the first step. I would rate assembly difficulty easy.On the up side, the core of the desk is black so if it chips it doesn't show.On the down side, the keyboard shelf is not functional being too narrow and the front panel too inconvenient to move. I guess you could use it if you have a really slim keyboard and small hands. For that reason, the desk becomes a very expensive piece of furniture because the version without the keyboard shelf costs much less. I would not buy again and would not recommend for this specific reason.

I purchased 2 of these desks. I guess they're not too bad for the price, but had a few problems. The keyboard drawer door pulled off of one of the desks already which is going to require wood glue and extra hardware to reattach. There's really no storage space, so if you want something more than a place to sit a computer, this isn't your desk. There's a ledge that runs under the desk that you could sit stuff on, but you'd have to bend over a lot to get things in and out. I probably wouldn't buy them again.
