5.0 out of 5 stars It is very nice but it's difficult to put together so I paid a Handyman to do it for me
A lot of pieces to put together but the desk is nice.There were pieces missing from the pack which is frustrating
1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality. Avoid like the plague.
***I have given this 1-star simply because I cannot give it zero***Without doubt, the worst piece of furniture I have ever assembled. It’s hard to know where to start.The quality of the materials was shocking. The boards are made of a very loose pack chip board. One of the boards split in two, as I tried to drive in a screw (with a hand screwdriver, not electric). This is partly because of the poor quality chip board but also because there are no pilot holes for the screws. After this first mishap, I decided to drill my own pilot holes for the rest of the boards.The screws are so cheap that they snap while trying to screw them in (after two broke, I used my own screws).The guide holes for the keyboard tray mountings are in the wrong place (best part of 5 cm out) so there was no way the tray would fit. I drilled my own holes again.The holes for the handles, in one of the drawer fronts, were not aligned correctly, so I could not fit the handles. Had to recut the holes.The aluminum supports for the desk top are such low grade, I do not expect them to last. And they are so roughly cut, they have burrs all around and they are not the same length. I had to file one of them down.The lugs for the fixings are so poor, one of them snapped. Fortunately I have replacements.The runners for the drawers are badly assembled. There is no way to get a good mounting point at both ends of the runner.The keyboard tray mountings are very short. There is not enough space to fit a keyboard, with the riser clips down.This was not an expensive desk, but it was also far from the cheapest. For the money, I would have expected much more.The veneer is very cheap. Sharp on some corners. Chipped / broken in places.Even the packaging it was delivered in was very poor quality and provided little protection.In all, a very, very cheap piece of trash.By far the worst piece of furniture I have ever come across. I shall be impressed if it lasts a year. Please do yourself a favour and look elsewhere.
4.0 out of 5 stars Room for improvement..
Overall, I am happy with the desk. It is excellent value for money when compared with items from other online retailers. Be warned though - it is heavy !I do have a number of gripes however, which also apply to another item i purchased from "Vida Designs"The supplied screws are not packed separately into marked bags, most of them are just jumbled up together.The fittings for the drawers are absolute rubbish. (I will be replacing them later)The manual is not the best - a little more attention to the orientation of the drawer mounts and the brackets for the keyboard shelf would be useful.
5.0 out of 5 stars Big enough
Very good quality wood and easy to understand the instructions.Took me 2.5 hours to build with break, if its first time to build then around 3-3.5 hour to build.Big eough to put gaming curve monitor and eought space to add mini pc inside as a mini server rack. I have added small usb fan for ventilation.
2.0 out of 5 stars RUBBISH
It’s nice to look at but came with no instructions we had to try & download them on line & wasn’t the easiest thing to put together. The pieces were numbered wrong & the small plastic grommets were missing. No number to call & no spare parts you’d have to send the whole thing back. Wouldn’t recommend
3.0 out of 5 stars OK desk but assembly not so much
The desk itself is pretty good value for money. I could have spent more and got something flashier but there was no need, this does the job.Assembly was rather more exciting than it should have been. I guessed a couple of hours but it took about five and I discovered that I had to guess which instructions were correct, which were ambiguous and which were in fact an outright lie - often not apparant until the section has been built and required disassembly to put it right. Next time I'll pay some other poor soul to build it for me.
1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible
Missing parts
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice desk
Very nice desk for its price. Assembly was not complicated but it took time... I would recommend electric screwdriver and a very good one. I started with manual one and after 2 hours my hand hurted a lot.Then I had to be creative to install double monitor rack.But end result is very good. Drawers are very solid and I don't expect them to break as in other desks.
