The box was covered in laundry detergent. I didn't notice after because I did drive up. I think they tried giving me unwanted merchandise. The box was already opened too.

I’ve put together many pieces of furniture but this is the WORST ! The holes aren’t aligned and they couldn’t even label the pieces. I wasted $40 because it’s damaged putting it together cause holes aren’t aligned . So disappointed in this product and I was looking forward to use this desk.

One Person Quick Assembly

Honest Review - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
If you have any experience assembling prefab furniture, this will be easy. I finished it in twenty minutes. Yes, the wood pieces are not identified by stickers, but there are only five pieces which can easily be oriented to the diagrams in the instruction manual by identifying the location of the pre-drilled holes. For the holes that were not quite big enough for the wooden pegs, I just gently tapped the pegs with a hammer without damaging the wood. The holes lined up with the hardware, sometimes it took a firm hand, but no biggie. A philips-head screwdriver is required, but not included. I'd purchase again.

Heather - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have nothing but great things to say about this desk. It only took me about 30 minutes to put it together. It comes with 5 pieces plus the hardware. The pieces are not labeled but what made it easier for me was laying everything out in the beginning, looking at the instructions and figuring out which piece was A, B, C, etc. You can tell by the way the holes are on each piece from the pictures in the instructions. I took a pencil and labeled the piece with the correct letter and then just wiped it off. It was super simple. It came together quickly and is the perfect size for my 8 year old who loves to craft and draw. It’s exactly what I expected for $40.

yasberry - 9 months ago
It looks very simple but the assembly instructions are very unclear and by the time you realize which boards are supposed to be facing a different way, the screws break off inside the holes or the cheap wood breaks apart. Spent 45 min tryna set up before the surface of the cheap white wood came up. Returning tomorrow!
