Great product, easy to assemble. Light-looking but not flimsy.

Easy to assemble. The size of the desk was perfect for my small study nook without it looking or feeling tiny. The aesthetics of the desk has a retro-ish style and the structure makes it look light without being flimsy. I like the fact that it's Sonoma Oak and not full-on oak color. I hate oak, but the Sonoma Oak gives it a nice grey sheen - bear in mind, the pictures advertised makes it look very grey which it is not. But in natural light, there's a complex blend of oak and grey, which makes it a versatile piece if you have other furniture that isn't oak or has, for example, an espresso color. In my opinion, it mitigates any potential clashing you might have with your existing office furniture. It's not solid wood, but it's substantial enough that you'll probably want one other person to help you screw on the second bigger piece. However, I was able to assemble it myself, so if you are able-bodied and able to lift up to 25 lbs., you'll still have a relatively easy time putting it together. Considering the material that covers the boards, I recommend not placing anything that would transfer moisture or condensation onto the desk, as that may damage the surface.

For those of you on the fence: JUST DO IT!

This desk looks so amazing and is perfect for my gaming/streaming/schoolwork station. I can easily fit both my monitors on top (and could even have a bigger second monitor) and that leaves all the rest of the desk surface for my keyboard and mouse and/or writing and working on homework. My husband liked the desk so much we ordered him one as well! It came completely undamaged and was the easiest piece of furniture I've ever put together. i AM IN LOVE WITH THIS DESK

Beautiful desk!

I love this desk! It arrived 3 days after I ordered it. No broken or missing peices. Wood is beautiful! My husband and I assembled it in less than 20 minutes. I recommend having 2 people putting it together because when attaching the two main parts, it can become quite heavy holding them up. But other than that, smooth sailing! Its the perfect size for a laptop, but if you have a large desktop and printer, you may have difficulty fitting them both. My husband and I bought a printer before the desk came in, and unfortunately it was too large to fit on the desk, so we ended up setting up our printer in our guest bedroom. But if you have a compact printer, that would fit great! This desk is exactly as pictured and exactly what we were looking for. We love it!

Love it!

Super easy to assemble (by myself!) and is exactly what I was looking for. I live in a studio apartment and its design is perfect for it.

Perfect for small spaces

Great cool modern desk for a fraction of the price. Bought the plain desk version without the riser and returned it because it was too short. For about 20 bucks more you can get this one that's perfect height and width to hold a 27"- 35". This is shockingly well made and quick to ensemble also plus super perfect for small places.

Perfect for home office

For someone who is not good at putting things together... this was a breeze. I was able to do it myself in 45 min w/an electric screwdriver. Holds my laptop on a docking station, keyboard, mouse, and 2 monitors, desk lamp, flower n vase.

Great style at a low price!

This is a great affordable option for a stylish little computer desk. The hairpin legs and two-tier design are what set it apart from others in the same price range. It took a solid 30 minutes to assemble, and all the pieces fit as they should. The wood parts are of course the pressed stuff that isn’t sturdy in the long run, but the material is expected at this price. The legs are very nicely made though! I’m using it for a tidy computer desk area, and it works great.

Best desk ever.

I love this desk! For the price there is literally nothing better. I attached photos of my desk progression! First of all, it was delivered on time and exactly as described. I did not purchase assembly. I'm a 115 lb female and was able to carry the box up a flight of steps without difficulty although the desk is a little heavy. I opened the box and everything was labeled, instructions were beyond easy, and the whole thing I put together by myself with a screw driver. The hardest part is that it is supposed to take two people, since you build the top part separate than the main desk - so each part has two legs attached and you have to lift the main desk onto the space to attach it to the upper part/back legs. It was doable because I only had me lol so I got creative and propped it up. Overall it was SO easy, straight forward and took me maybe 30 mins total. All pieces and parts were correct, and it's the perfect desk. It's sturdy and stable, and anybody can build it! The color is gorgeous and versatile with any color scheme. It's a really nice size desk as well. 5 stars all the way!

Took over a month to receive it, BUT it is a perfect desk.

I am giving it 5 starts because the desk is undeniably perfect, the look the simplicity, the two-teir. LOVE IT! But Just a heads up this took over a month to receive because they lost it the first time and not until I brought it ot their attention did they look into it. It just never updated the status. They sent a "replacement" that took another 2 weeks but was delivered on the expected date. IT is pretty simple to put together, but I would suggest a power tool for the screws as the first half of doing this I kind of hurt my elbow trying to do it by hand. Nothing again the desk though. It really is perfect for a home office if you are going for clean, simple, but practical at the same time and Stylish! Love the retro look!

Great desk and reasonable price.

I was pleasantly relieved that this desk arrived on time, packaged carefully with no damage to any part, AND was very easy and quick to assemble. I had a slight bit of trepidation about ordering it due to reviews stating poor packaging and damage on arrival, but I guess the seller took those reviews seriously as mine arrived in perfect condition. I bought this desk to replace my previous PC work desk due to being required to accommodate 2 PC's going forward, (I will be receiving the required 2nd PC this coming week), and I believe this desk will accommodate both easily. There is plenty of space to store the keyboard(s) under the ledge which allows room to do other work on the desktop. This desk also takes up less room than the one I replaced, which despite it being bigger than this one, couldn't accommodate 2 PC's, (it is oddly trapezoid shaped), so that ended up being a positive for my space needs. The assembly instructions were well laid out and easy to understand. Using a battery operated hand drill with screwdriver bit made assembly of this desk super easy and very fast. I used wood glue in the holes where the wooden dowels are placed for added 'sturdiness'. The ONLY thing I would have liked that this desk doesn't have is locking wheels, however, it is light enough that I was able to lift/carry it by myself - and I'm mobility challenged. All in all I am totally pleased with this desk and would recommend it.
