Product Reviews for:

I bought this desk in 2006! Four years and three moves later it is still as sturdy as the day we put it together! I would recommend it to anyone.For our last move, my husband had to throw it out the window on the lawn cause he couldn't get it out the door, it still holds together strong! I am now writing this review while sitting at it...The only wear you can see on it is scratches because we moved so many times, however, I actually like the way it looks all weathered and cozy now! But if you want it to keep looking mint, nothing a little black paint won't fix. Great buy for a hundred bucks.

I've read reviews on other sites claiming this desk is made of particle board. It isn't, it is actually made of solid wood. You can tell by looking at the end grain of the pieces, it is clearly real solid wood. I like the desk, it is an attractive design and once assembled correctly, it is s nice looking and functional little corner desk with a classic look. I am giving four stars because mine exhibits some of the same things that others here are complaining about. Mine arrived with one cosmetic blemish, it looks like a scrape mark or something along the edge of the top. Also, the drawer slide brace was cracked in a way that does not effect the form or function of the piece. My box had no damage, so I don't think this is happening as a result of improper handling during shipping. I think this is something going on at the factory that is causing these issues with damage. The instructions did have one or two illustrations that were inverted, which caused a moment of confusion. But it was easy to figure out. I assembled it myself in about an hour and a half. The dowels are either too short, or the dowel holes are drilled too deeply. When I put the dowels in, they go so far in that only a quarter of an inch or so is sticking out. So, you have to be careful about that. I also ran out of wood glue, as the tube that comes with the desk holds a laughably small amount. So I had to find my own adhesive after assembling half of the desk. All that said, I still like the desk and for the money think it is still the best deal I've seen for a nice simple classic corner desk. I appreciate that it is solid wood, so I give them a pass on one or two dings. Yes, the holes and screws and bolts don't always line up perfectly. But the instructions say not to tighten anything until the end. If you follow this instruction and leave all of your screws and bolts loose until the end, you should have no problem getting everything to line up. Once you get everything lined up and all of the screws and bolts started, it is easy to tighten them and bring the desk in to square. The desk sits flat on the floor, and doesn't wobble. It feels solid. I wouldn't stand on it, though. I would recommend this desk to a friend and if this one were lost or stolen I would probably replace it with the same desk.

I purchased this desk to create a corner office space in a space-challenged condo living room. It's perfect for that. It's more generous on top than it looks - I can easily fit my laptop in the center and notebooks to the side. I put the desk together myself (slowly) so it did take a couple hours, but all of the pieces were accounted for and easy to pick out for the directions. All of the bolts wouldn't go in fully by hand, and I wish there were more bolts to support the shelves. However, I have it packed with instructor textbooks, binders, and school supplies and there hasn't been a problem. Upon receiving the desk, there was easily visible damage to the corner of the drawer and one of the legs, but I actually covered it up with black Sharpie instead of dealing with a return. You have to know it's there to even notice it.

I purchased this corner desk about a month ago. for the price it is very good and looks great in my room. it is a computer desk but i use it as a vanity with a stool tucked under. assembly was easy. i assembled it myself in about 20 minutes max. pull out is sometimes hard to slide out but overall its a great piece. love the extra shelving on the bottom. great for baskets. would recommend for others to buy.

I bought this desk for my son's room. He is a college student and needed something for his lap top. It's really a good desk and seems well-made.

This desk is small, so pay attention to the measurements given. It fit perfectly in the corner space I bought it for. I have a large-screen Mac on a pedestal, and there is still plenty of room for keypad, mouse, coffee cup, elbows, etc. The little drawer could serve as a keyboard platform, but I have two reams of paper stored there. The bottom shelf is not adequate for a printer, but it lends extra stability and is a good place to put your feet when you're watching a video on your computer. The people who had trouble with the assembly instructions must not have been reading them. It took me 1-1/2 hours to assemble by myself, and I probably would have made some mistakes if I had not followed the instructions to the letter. A useful piece of furniture, and good value for the price.

It could have been a nice desk without he scratches. They shipped it to the wrong address but this was corrected immediately. This was great. It took forever to put together. But it had all the pieces. Quality is average. It could have been a nice looking desk except for the scratches.

This desk is perfect for my husband. He wanted something small, and something big enough for his desktop computer. This is big enough. It also has shelves on the bottom for printer storage or moniter storage. The drawer is has is very nice. It's just big enough I believe. My only gripe about this desk and why it did not get a full 5 stars is because when put together, one side fell off. I'm not sure how, but it had to be glued together. And a friend of ours joked and said "Now it'll be fine as long as you don't touch it for 3 years." Thankfully he was wrong, but just be careful about that. Otherwise, it's a great desk. Perfect size, and we love that it fits right in the corner. It isn't a big nuisance. So, overall I would say buy it.

Only buy this furniture if you and your assembly helper(s) have engineering degrees. Take the instructions to your paper shredder and destroy them immediately. They are ridiculous, written by someone who not only is not English-speaking, but apparently lacks logic and a sense of order. They are worse than useless. I looked for an already assembled piece of furniture to fit my home. Sadly, the only piece that was the right size and design was this desk. I read the review and thought "Just how hard could this be?" Very hard. It took hours and after all was said and done I still couldn't get the final bolt to align. I had to drill holes in other spots and use some hardware I had to complete the assembly. Had I not really wanted this desk I would have tossed it. The desk is nice, it is in the corner. Would I recommend this to a friend? Not if I wanted them to remain my friend. Unless you (and a friend or two) have EXTREME PATIENCE and some tools and are mechanically inclined, hunt down a fully-assembled unit.

Very nice solid desk. It was very easy to put together. Shipping was fairly quick. This is a nice little desk made out of real wood. It is very sturdy once together. Would recommend for the price. Fits great in the corner.

We ordered this corner computer desk for our daughter's studio apartment in California. As space is limited, this desk worked out perfectly. Has a great shelf under the desk itself which is perfect for the printer and storage. Overall look is beautiful, too!

Love the look and size of the desk but it arrived pretty beat up. I had a friend put it together and it took about an hour with some mismatched parts. Seemed to me like the desk had been shipped and returned a few times. Where I have it flaws don't really show so it was easier to keep than return just for cosmetic reasons.

I thought that the shelves on the bottom were wider than actual. The picture looks like there are things on the bottom pieces (like a shelf) but it is really not a shelf as it is very narrow and the middle drawer does not roll smoothly because there arent any tracks or rollers on it.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? actual color
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. a little disappointed in the drawer in the middle of the desk as it does not have rollers or tracks to slide smoothly.

Would not recomend or buy again. A defective piece of wood cause me to use gorilla glue to fix because it's simply too much of a hassle to return.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? ok
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good design but I ordered two and they had the same exact flaw in one of the pieces.

the draw will not slide in and out smoothly at all. I triple checked and am sure I did it right. Avoid this desk!

it's very cheaply made. there was a dime-size scratch on the very front of the desk when we took it out of the box, and the legs on the left side did not have the floor protector "bumps". it will serve it's purpose in my boy's room & i don't have the time to send it back.

We had no trouble putting this desk together and it is a nice fit for our space (small NYC apartment). Don't be mistaken it is not a high quality piece of furniture but it is functional and you can't beat the price. Our drawer is a bit off but it works and the desk seems to be made of actual wood which is a bonus. Overall nice piece for the money. I would recommend it.
