White Writing Desk

Rating

It looks gorgeous, doesn't it? In theory at least, it's a great desk, with lots of room. Only, the white is easily damaged, assembly is horrendously difficult, isn't steady, and cracks in the wood are made even when there are pre-drilled holes (and there are quite a few that aren't). The instructions are poorly written, and it's hard to see how the pieces fit together. Some of the hardware is very difficult to actually assemble. Even if you're familiar with assembling desks with runners, this will be a challenge. You'll need a large straight slot screwdriver as well as a Phillips head screwdriver. I highly recommend using an electronic one, or you'll spend a day or two putting it together. AND you need a rubber mallet. Because we all have one in our toolboxes, don't we.This is not worth the price or the hassle. If It weren't so difficult to pack it back up, I'd return it.PLESE READ THIS AGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS DAMAGED .....

LOVE IT! I'm so happy with my desk! It looks great and is very roomy! Great to study on and have laptop on....Was a bit of a pain to assemble but luckily my husband did most of the work :)

Great looking desk - very big surface area. Quite hard to assemble and needed extra work on the magnetic closure of the middle drawer - still a happy purchase.

I just got and assembled my desk two days ago and I am absolutely loving it!! It definitely lives up to its picture if not better and the quality of the wood (real wood, not wood-chips) is excellent with a gorgeous sheen (that helps with keeping it clean).The only wish is that if more of the smaller parts were pre-assembled, it would have been easier to put together. The center drawer and the two side legs came pre-assembled which were helpful. I had to have my dad help me assemble it and its a good thing he used to own a construction business b/c we did not have to consult the instructions as much. The pre-drilled holes spoke for itself. The only problem he had was getting the pieces flush against each other without damaging the wood. Thankfully we were able to do so after a few bangs. The tools we used was an electric phillips screwdriver, a hammer, and a flat screwdriver. Total time was 2 hours (including a mishap with putting the center part backwards). The instructions itself was fine, you just have to pay very close attention to the pictures.Even with the long assembly, I would still recommend it!!
