Q: How far does the drawer pull out?

Q: Does the paint chip easily? Especially when liquid touches it? Is it cheap material?

submitted by Jaz B - 2 months ago

  • A: Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. It does not actually use paint, it features a budget friendly paper laminate veneer finish over an MDF/particle board frame. Avoid placing heavy, sharp, or hot objects directly onto the bare laminate surface. I hope this information was helpful. Happy Shopping! - Leo

    Horrible

    I’d give it minus 10 stars if I could. Using the screws it came with, it completely falls apart, the pieces do not hold together, total waste of time putting it together & having to return it.

    Impossible to put together with one person

    This is put together like a house of cards. The holes are too big for some of the screws so they just fall out.

    You’re Better Off Thrifting a Desk - Super Flimsy

    It’s a good size, it fit perfectly, and it has such a nice, simple design. For my personal use, I planned on using it as a simple writing table. Unfortunately, after following the directions and instructions for assembling it, the table became very flimsy. The directions themselves were confusing, but we managed to put it together. In the end, though, it doesn’t have enough support for the legs to stand securely. The backboard is also extremely flimsy, which causes one of the legs to have more support than the other, making the table feel uneven and unstable. Also, it’s quite small for the price of $50. Overall, I really wanted to like this table, but the lack of stability and support makes it difficult to recommend.
    Would not buy again

    Multiple uses and perfect size!

    I was so excited to get this deal and knew instantly I would use it as a small vanity for my room! Once built it’s very nice, simple and sturdy enough. The building directions are lacking a bit which is why I took 1 star off. Overall I really like the simplicity of it and it fits perfect in my room!

    Perfect for the Price and Size!!

    Bought this for my daughter's room and it's been perfect. The size is exactly what she needed — fits neatly against the wall without taking over the whole room, but there's still enough surface area for her laptop, a lamp, and her books. One tip: make sure to tighten all the fasteners during assembly. I went back and double-checked every screw and bolt after the initial build, and it really made a difference — the desk feels solid and doesn't wobble at all. I'd absolutely recommend this for college students, teens, and tweens. For the price, you really can't beat it!

    Super easy to assemble and looks great. Everyone saying it's not sturdy doesn't know how to assemble. It's very sturdy when assembled properly.

    Great compact desk

    My teen son wanted a space to keep his cologne and hygiene products together and this desk was just perfect for his room. Has a nice wide drawer and is sturdy. could easily be used as a desk or even a vanity. Thank you Room Essentials and Target! 🎯

    Compact

    The Room Essentials White Compact Desk is perfect for my homeschooler! It doesn't take up much space, the instructions were easy to follow, and it was simple to put together. It's sturdy, the drawers are roomy enough for a pencil box and notebooks, and there's plenty of space for a laptop. The height is perfect, making it a great desk for schoolwork. The value for the price was perfect!

    Simple, compact and easy to assemble

    This Room Essentials Compact Desk was very easy to assemble with just a Phillips screwdriver. The desk is a very nice quality for the price. It has a good weight, solid but still easy to move around by yourself (no assistance needed). The drawer is a nice addition and it opens & closes nicely. This fits perfectly in a small space, all of my kids wanted it.

    Love it it works

    I was hesitant to purchase base on the reviews but happy I did I was ready to return or use liquid nails for reinforcements. The instructions are easy to follow I fit it up in less than a hour and it’s actually very sturdy. I turned it into vanity table and it saved me money instead of spending over $100.
