Misguiding Instructions
When assembling the desk, it tells you to put the lock screws in at the beginning- a gullible mistake on targets end. This misguided instruction leads to a pain for the buyer when they try to put it together and creates more problems down the road when constructing the desk. If there's one thing to be learned, don't trust the instructions made by the manufacturer.

Complicated buy
recently purchased this desk, and while the finished product looks great, the building process was a nightmare. The instructions were vague and unhelpful, to the point where I almost packed it up and returned it on the spot. However, I’m not a quitter, so I pushed through and got it assembled. Once it was built, I was happy with the look — sleek, modern, and simple. I’ll update later on how sturdy it proves to be with regular use. A tip: you’ll definitely want a power drill to make assembly easier, but use it carefully. If you’re not experienced with building furniture or simply don’t enjoy tackling complicated setups, this might not be the desk for you.

Very Nice Desk
Very sturdy desk only downfall is the instructions said there was supposed to be letters on the pieces to match up everything while putting together but there wasn’t so you had to go by the pictures. Also didn’t like that the bottom part that looks like it would come out to put the keyboard and mouse on it doesn’t come out.

Labeled pieces would be nice.
Terrible directions. No labels on pieces made it difficult to assemble. If I had it to do over again, I’d pass on this one.

DO NOT PURCHASE!
I bought this last minute because I needed a desk and (to the fault of my own) did not look at reviews...DO NOT BUY THIS DESK. It is horrificially complicated to build with nothing labeled. Additionally, the wood and materials are sooooooo cheap that if you attempt to stand up the desk too quickly while building or use any tools, your wood will easily split and fall apart. I had to throw this entire desk away when i was almost finished building because the wood split. Do! not! Buy!

Worst desk evee
The hardest thing to put together. Took me over an hour because nothing is labeled. The screws don't even stay on no matter how hard you tighten them. As soon as I picked it up it fell apart. You have to use nails in order for it to stay together. I do not recommend this.

Waste of time and money!
Headache to put together! Came with no directions, had to find them online. Parts are not labeled, confusing to match up with directions. Spent two days trying to assemble, with pieces of the wood coming apart, glued it together then it came apart again. So frustrated I just trashed it.

Easy to assemble smaller than expected
This desk is very straight forward with instructions and easy to assemble, however it is not made for an adult. Thankfully I did buy it for my 6 year old, but I do want to add for others interested that it’s SMALL!

The biggest pain to assemble
I couldn't even use this desk because oh my God it is so unnecessarily difficult to assemble. I would rather try to assemble IKEA then this piece of trash. Every time you make an adjustment it messes up another aspect of the desk. If target didn't offer refunds I would've turned my backyard into a rage room so I could've smashed this thing into a thousand pieces. Don't buy.

Don't let the bad reviews scare you away
I almost didn’t buy this desk because of the bad reviews. Don’t let them scare you away. If you’re capable of building a piece of IKEA furniture, you can do this. I had a friend help me assemble it and we put it together in under an hour. As the other reviews mention, the pieces are not labeled. The very first thing we did was label them with sticky notes. Problem solved! My main issue with the desk is that it’s kind of short. Other than that, I would say the quality is what you would expect from a $60 desk.

Good but small.
Feels strong once together but it’s small. We ended up giving it away and getting something bigger.

I put things together all the time but this desk was actually horrendous to put together. I ended up throwing it away because it broke. Not to mention the instructions are some of the worst I have ever seen and not helpful at all. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!

HARDEST THING TO BUILD EVER
Worst thing I have ever built in my life. I have put bed frames, headboards, nightstands, KITCHEN TABLES, and more. Those were cake walks compared to this desk. I have never in my life been more confused and frustrated with something in my life. I followed the step by step video and put everything where it needed to go and as I lifted it up the whole thing was lopsided and out of place. ALSO the top piece WILL not go ON! I hate this thing. Do not buy it.
