i disliked all of it,i crashed out multiple times putting this together,very complicated and took WAY to LONGGG to build, and most of the bolts didn’t even fit. i’ve done this multiple times in my life and never had anything so troubling never buying one again since no one knows how to make a decent desk, i’ve never wanted to break something more in my life, this desk made me throw screw drivers through the wall and made my mom scream at me, the wheels don’t even roll and all the drawers are so crooked. that’s all i’ve got for this piece

Arrived broken twice:/

1 out of 5 stars
Claire - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I ordered this online and it arrived broken… so I returned it in store and they ordered me a new one since it’s not in stock at any of the stores within an hour of me. That one arrived broken as well, because there is zero padding in the box. It’s just the desk in there. The boxes both arrived covered in tape that was the only thing holding most of the edges together, so both desks clearly went through a lot during shipping. Anyway, we returned the second one and they could only give us a merchandise card for the full cost, which was fine since we will use it. I was really excited to get this desk, I’m just bummed it didn’t work out! If it had arrived in good condition, I’m sure it would have been a great desk! I hope they revise their system and add padding to their boxes.

VanessaB - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
This desk took A LONG time to put together. Way too long. It’s not overly complicated, but definitely tedious. It was packaged nicely, with protective foam and most items labeled clearly. Make sure you read the directions very carefully. The materials are cheap, and I don’t see this desk lasting very long. I was about 50% of the way through putting this together when one of the screws went through the board I was screwing it into because the pre made holes were made at the wrong angle and the wood is cheap. Honestly the thought of being this back and starting to build a new one from scratch just sounded like a nightmare so I just dealt with it. The drawers and sides don’t line up nicely and no matter how I adjust the screws on the sliders it rubs against the desk frame every time we shut the drawer. I also wish these had handles. Overall, I wouldn’t really recommend this desk but I already put several hours into putting it together so I’m not returning it or buying anything else. If it wasn’t for my 9 year old son, I’d probably just scrap the whole thing but thankfully his standards aren’t too high. The desk is inexpensive for $110.00 but the materials have to cost no more than $20 total.

Super cute desk. Lots of space on desk surface and good storage as well. Not bad for the price but it is what you expect. Set aside 2-3 hours to build depending on your building experience.

Melanie - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
We bought this desk for our 9 year old to use as her arts and crafts desk. She LOVES it!! It did take my husband and I almost 2 hours to build because we wanted to make sure to follow ALL of the directions and make sure that we were using the correct pieces in the correct spots. Some people reviewed that the drawers did not line up, and I think that might be because they didn't follow directions and use the correct parts. Well worth the money, just take your time building it.

Sunrise24 - 5 months ago
I love this little desk! I know some reviews have talked about the challenge of putting it together or missing pieces. I took inventory as soon as I got the pieces out of the box and everything was there. Everything is labeled well. The directions were mostly helpful but I did have to scan the help code once to watch the video of putting the rails on. I had an issue at the end with the bottom drawer not fitting square but all I had to do was adjust the screws and it was fixed. It's a little smaller than I thought it was for my to be but it fits the room and my needs great. I'm very happy with this purchase and hope it will last for a few years!

I've probably had this a year or maybe two and overall it still looks good. It's easy to make even if you don't have much building experience, and it's also easy to move around. There are a few little areas on the edges where it wore down a bit but not that noticeable unless you're looking for blemishes. It's a decent choice for an easy and fairly affordable desk. I got the white and it looks clean and pretty.

Very time consuming to assemble, instructions not very clear, and it asks that you build this in very confusing steps. Ended up being very wobbly so I put something under the right side to level it out.

Missing parts

wolf - 9 months ago
originally posted on http://www.sauder.com
Spent about 2 hours putting it together by myself. It was easy, but it could have used 6 more hidden cams to keep it better together. The 6 cams they had only did teh sides, not the top. I got the right amount of parts just that I had 3 of one and only 1 off another when they should have been 2 of each. Hopefully it will be easy to get them to send me the one drawer right guide I am missing. Other wise it looks good and is fairly solid.
