    BEWARE

    Absolutely HORRIBLE product. This desk is an absolute nightmare to assemble. It’s taking 3 of us to figure out how to put it together, even with the instructions—which are completely USELESS. To make matters worse, 2 out of 3 of us sustained minor injuries during assembly. I now have 3 blisters on my dominant hand and another one developing. A desk should not require this much effort, frustration, and physical pain to assemble. I would NOT recommend this desk to anyone—not even my worst enemies. This isn’t even a matter of it being overpriced. FREE wouldn’t even be worth it. Save yourself the frustration, the wasted time, and the blisters. DO NOT BUY THIS DESK.

    Not easy to assemble. Does not come with stickers for the letters on the boards and my hands are absolutely killing me from trying to screw in the tiny holes. One of the tiny holes damaged so I could not finish it only left with half of a desk. Can’t return it either.

    60$ more like 6$

    My first reason is This desk is crap it broke when my husband put a book on it. my second reason is the paint chipped. third reason there is a sticker on it that you can’t take off. fourth reason it doesn’t have a lot of leg space. fifth reason it’s small. Six reason there isn’t a lot of space to put anything seventh reason it’s not worth the hype oh wait there wasn’t any hype for a reason. oh and my other reason is the workers handed me it throw my car window.

    Small but nice.

    Nice desk but it's kind of small. I didn't look at the size before I bought it. I was easy to assemble. Let me share a hack with you. If the medal dowel doesn't fit into the hole take the cam out then put the metal dowel back in. The dowel is facing you in the opened direction so that you can turn and lock it. My suggestion is put the metal dowel on when you start putting the pieces together. It's way easier.

    Looks good, Worst instructions evwr

    While the desk looks like the picture. It was the most difficult thing to put together, not a single thing was labeled and all you had to go off of was a picture. I put it together and tore it apart so many times just hoping something would look like the box. Needs way better instructions, heres hoping it holds up well.
