Love this desk!
I love the quality of this desk. I put it together myself in less than half an hour. Everything is already done. You just put legs on. It is 150 lbs so open box flat on floor. I would recommend this to a friend.

Broken in box
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I didn’t set it up in advance because I was trying to keep it hidden. Now, on Christmas Eve, I went to set it up and it’s completely broken. I always check things before Christmas even but didn’t this one time. Now my daughter won’t have what she wanted for Christmas. I was going to try to make this one work and then replace it. But they want me to ship this broken one back to replace it. This really messed up our Christmas plan.

    Broken
    Opened the box to find it has been broken somehow! I had it delivered and don't have a way to bring it back to get a new one, plus I needed it to start a new job tomorrow and won't have time to replace it and not sure I want the same one because it looks cheaply made.

    Very Nice Desk
    This was easy. Ordered pick up at store was ready before scheduled time. Came to my car in minutes and staff very polite and respectful. Pretty heavy for me so it unpacked from back of my SUV only 5 pieces desk top was heavy but there again I'm in my 70's. Went together in 15 minutes very easy. Looks great happy so far it's for my guest bedroom so probably not get to much use. “Great bang for buck” would recommend.

    Nice, but may have minor issues
    this desk looks really nice, it was easy to set up, and goes with the existing furniture I had in my office. unfortunately there's a crack in the bottom of the drawer as noted in the photo I attached. also the drawer does not open and close easily, it seems like the right track is either bent or something because it sticks. the drawer is still usable it just doesn't open and close entirely as easily as it should. overall I'm happy with the purchase and what I got for the price.

    Top material peeled off too easily -- Not Happy
    The top material peeled off way too easily - a piece of painters tape was on the edge for about 3 seconds and when I took the tape off the top material peeled off with it -- SUPER NOT HAPPY, this product defeats its own purpose of being usable desk and being decent looking.

    Good desk for students
    So far so great! I rlly like the height of this desk and is perfect for my laptop. However, it is not fully white like in the picture. It has wood marks on it but I don’t mind the look. The borders are thick so if your looking to mount a microphone c mount to it, I suggest getting a different desk if that is a must for you!!

    it's perfect for me
    I have a small space that I wanted for a makeup vanity. I wanted something streamlined and simple to match my furniture and this fits the bill. you only have to put the legs on so assembly was quick and easy. I was glad the drawer was already attached and has a real smooth action. I am glad I got it.

    Perfect table!
    It is exactly what I needed. Creating crafts on it is what I use it for and I love it! Putting it together was easy (as far as I can tell while my husband did it). I would buy more just because the table is so versatile.

    Good Deal and Quality for the price
    Came completely assembled. Only needed to screw on the legs. The desk looked nice and arrived undamaged. The drawer opens and closes easily. I added a piece of glass to the top to elevate the look and protect the table top since it’s not real wood. I’m using it as a vanity and I absolutely love the look.

    Very Easy Assembly
    Easiest assembly ever. It's a little heavy, but just like similar products. Once opened, the main was to attach the four legs.

    Nice desk but smelly
    Desk was easy to put together and looks really nice. It's working well for a Lego table. The drawer is nice to put Lego baseplates in. But it still SMELLS soooooo bad.

    Everything about this desk is cheap, which is probably why it was on rollback. The wooden dowels wouldn't fit in the hole then broke when I tried to push them in. The paint is thin and you can see the press wood. It has small scuffs of white paint on it. Overall very unimpressed with this product.

    BROKEN
    I purchased a desk for my room and the desk came with chipped wood and a broken piece vital for putting together the legs. If this item was returned broken, it should not have been put back on the shelves and sold for FULL price.

    Home office desk easy to assemble
    Love the size for my small apartment. It was pretty easy to assemble myself. The drawer was a nice feature that I didn't realize the desk had. I am adding a monitor to my workspace so more than likely I will need something bigger.

    I am going to buy another one!!
    It was easy to put together (you only have to put the legs on). It was the perfect size. Its very sturdy and perfect for a student on a low income budget. I put it together all by myself and only took like 30 minutes. Don't put a drink on it it will bubble up (use a coaster and it will be fine). I am very happy with my purchase :)

    No hardware included
    I opened my box a few moments ago (09/30/21) excited to get it assembled. I'm using it (or should I say I planned on using) this desk behind my extra big chair for plants etc BUT I didn't have any hardware. So I sent CS an email to let them know. Hopefully hardware comes real soon.

    Love this!!
    I love how sturdy and appeasing this desk is. For it to be priced at such a cheap price this desk is amazing. Easy to assemble and big enough to fit two large monitors.

    But in-store only
    I have high hopes for this desk but I haven't even gotten to put it together! I ordered this desk through Walmart.com to pick up at a store near me. It was not made available for pick up until 2 days AFTER it was scheduled to be available. They loaded it into my truck bed and I never saw it, as I was told to remain in my truck. I finally got it home, and saw the box was damaged with a gash in the middle. I opened the box and pulled the desk about half way out and saw that the desk was damaged badly. Now I have to take it back and get a refund and then buy it again because there's no “replacements” for online orders. Only a refund. What a waste of time, money and gas. Save yourself the drama if you buy this or anything like this, get it in-store only so you can see if the boxes are damaged. If I'd been allowed to see the box before they loaded it into my truck I would've asked them to look for another one. It's obvious there would be damage.
