Student Writing Desk with Storage - Room Essentials™

Desk space is very small

looks nice but pain to put together. nothing is labeled and the instructions are extremely unclear. shouldn't take me over 2 hours to put together a 40 inch desk

Great piece

This desk is a great simple desk for small spaces. I did not find it difficult to assemble - I had it together in less than an hour and it’s very heavy and sturdy. For the price, the quality is just what I was looking for

Can’t even hold together

It works fine but it is a PAIN to put together. Over two hours. It is good for a small space but I wouldn’t recommend

ORDERED TO HAVE IT DELIVERED IN BLACK AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT IN STOCK.

Terrible. Do not buy! Top doesn’t fit on after it takes you 2-hours to out the rest together. The pieces are not marked with letters on them like the directions say. If I could return I would!!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Consider a professional who can assemble my experience was awful and a waste of money.

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.

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.

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