Wow this desk had me in a mix of emotions!!
So Im going to start off with the fact that I love the look of this desk. The wood looks great and the color is awesome. Love the fact you can add an additional riser shelf. And that its got the middle shelving!!
Now that weve got that out of the way, I seriously hated putting this crap together. The directions say 30minutes is all itll take. 3 hours later we found out this was incorrect the first few steps of getting it together were fine, it wasnt until we were trying to add the bottom bar to stabilize it that we started having issues. In one of the pictures attached youll notice that one of the bars are shorter that the frame thats already built it should be the same length but since it was short, when the bars were attached it made the legs of the desk go in on a slant and without the bar at all the desk is very flimsy. Luckily the two bars sent for the extra shelf were a couple centimeters longer so we just shaved some off the ends of that and then was able to use those. but now we cant put up the riser shelf unless my boyfriend creates a new frame for it also when we went to add the actual desk part (large pieces of wood for the top of the desk) the holes didnt line up and if we wouldve put it where the holes were there wouldve been a gap between the wood pieces and the middle shelves (youll notice another photo with the new holes my boyfriend had to drill to get it to fit correctly) I get that the desk isnt extremely expensive for what it is but that was very frustrating!! If my boyfriend didnt have a drill and a saw to fix these things I wouldve had a half built POS desk that wouldve been worthless btw this desk was bought as a gift for us so then I wouldve had to contact the person who bought it just to get anything done with a return or whatever Im sure there will be others who buy this expecting it to be easy enough to put together but honestly you better have a handy man around to fix the issues that come with it
Love (but mostly hate) relationship
