Q: How difficult is it to assemble... is it possible to get a look at the instructions?

submitted by Kelly - 7 years ago
  • A: HARD... the instructions are not stright forward and it's annoying

    submitted byImani - 6 years ago
  • A: Hi Kelly - We think that this is a great desk for that needed work space in your room. According to reviews, this one is an ease to assemble. Thanks! - Shelly

  • A: No instructions were included in our box. Pretty inconvenient.

    submitted byValerie - 6 years ago
  • A: My desk came with instructions and it was the easiest one I have ever assembled. The drawer is already done and in tact with the top of the desk. All you will assemble are the legs and support bar. Super duper easy!

Q: What tools do I need to put this together?

submitted by Victoria - 9 years ago
  • A: Philips and a flat head screw driver. That's it.

    submitted byMelissaE77 - 6 years ago

    submitted byShelly - 9 years ago
    Target staff support
  • A: The last answer is wrong. You need a Philips head screwdriver for the cam lock system and to put the handle on the drawer. That said, I had to return this desk twice due to damaged parts. All ordered were site to store pickup. I would get something better if I were you.

    submitted byCovertleopard - 9 years ago
  • A: Target Staff are incorrect. The 3 tools are listed above.

Q: What does the back of this look like? Is it something you could have facing the room, rather than up against a wall?

submitted by Jessica - 9 years ago
  • A: The back is finished just like the front. It could face the room and look nice.

    submitted byOrange County - 9 years ago
  • A: I have it in white in front of a large window. Look gorgeous!

    submitted byAllie - 8 years ago
  • A: It is finished all over, so stand alone is fine.

    Good desk

    Broke in less than a year.

    Bought this desk because I needed a space to do work that wasn't my couch. It did the job for a short while. Didn't stay sturdy for long, and in my experience, trying to move this thing is a disaster. Tried to shift the desk over about an inch and everything started falling apart. The drawer broke off and fell, and now the top of the desk is uneven. It's gonna take more work than it's worth to fix properly. Can't afford a new desk though. Wouldn't recommend

    Missing pre-drilled holes

    Got the whole thing together minus the bottom piece that goes across to find out there were no drill holes for the smaller piece of the cam- locks. So a purchase I was very excited about quickly lost my enthusiasm due to the issue that I couldn’t get completely assembled

    Arrived damaged

    Arrived damaged in 2 very noticeable places on the tabletop. I saw the other reviews and should not have ordered, but thought I would be the anomaly. I was wrong. Very sad, because I built the desk before realizing the damage so it will be a loss for me. I would encourage anyone else to look over the item entirely before building.

    Nice but damaged/ not packed well

    Nice design and fits well in our office. Unfortunately, the desk was banged and had a smash. Returning it would have entailed taking it down to the car and driving to target and carrying it in so I accepted a discount. It could have been packaged better

    Perfect desk for a smaller space

    I purchased the black desk, it looks great in my office. Solid quality, great value. The desk top with drawer is large and comes assembled. You only have to add the legs and support bar! I love it!

    Nice desk

    I really like this desk. It wasn’t super easy to put together but it also wasn’t impossible. It’s not the best quality by any means since it’s just wood composite but as long as you’re not rough with it, I don’t see why it shouldn’t last a while. I only use it for writing, reading, makeup, and crafting so it’s perfect for that. The drawer is also very deep and pulls out all the way which I like.

    Broken and awful customer service

    Came broken and Target customer service was rude and unhelpful. They said “Target didn’t sell you a broken desk, the product manufacturer did. There is nothing we can do.” Please explain how Target did not sell me this item when I bought it from a Target store.

    Easy assemble

    The desk was perfect for my work desk. The assembly was easy but the instructions were not clear in my opinion. I watched a YouTube video on it and it was super easy to do, only required one person. The darker one does leave marks anywhere you touch it but if you don't mind constantly cleaning them or if they don't bother you then it'll work for you.

    Looks great but poor quality materials

    We’ve bought two of these desks (on sale) and both times the inside has been not properly put together and falling apart. If you can get beyond that annoyance- it’s a great looking desk and works well for a home office.
