I put this together myself (56 year old woman) and had no issues. Best directions Ive seen on a flat pack in forever. It was exactly what I was looking for and lots of long lasting steel for the price. The bump out shelving is substantial and totally usable. My only desire would be an option for two monitor shelves and keyboard pull outs. One tip, because of the size after you put the shelves together move it into the room you are going to use it in. It becomes too big for most doors once you start connecting the desks. I definitely recommend!0
Since the wife and I are able to work from home 1/2 days of the week, I needed something that made sense as my old corner desk wasnt working for us any more and a bit beat up after several moves nor did it have the room we needed. I saw this, took some room measurements and thought it would do nicely! It is quite sturdy based on the design and still gives enough work space! Plus having the island shelves in the middle is helpful also! My wife doesnt like the pull out keyboard plus doesnt need as uses her laptop but does use the monitor shelf. That being said, I wish it came with 2 of those as would come in handy on both sides but I have made due with a small box. Because of the design, I was also able to hide most of the cords along the frame with zipties the best I could to help avoid cluttering the cords.
I am really happy with my desk. I looked through A LOT of options and since I needed one that both me and my son could work at.this one seemed to just stand out.
This desk is aming I love it its the perfect size for a 2 person desk. The directions were really clear compared to other furniture you buy, and its very sturdy once it was put together I would definitely recommend this to any one looking for this type of desk!!
This is a updated review on this product, there have been a lot of new sellers on selling products that have few reviews and not delivering the item at all. This is not that type of seller.
The purchase:
Product was initially held up for some reason, i am guessing ups errors. I reached out to the seller who promptly told me thew day they would ship it. I am assuming that the ups system hung up because i had reached out to the seller with a complaint on the tracking it and not showing that it shipped. They quickly responded and corrected the issue with ups, and had them expedite the product. I received it the very next day. Shipping can be frustrating. Especially when you are running a business that relies on the product you are buying. Not only was this seller pomp to respond. They also offered a solution.
The product: The product is way better than the pictures i will break down the assembly and other processes below.
Packaging: Packaging on the product was very well done, and i would not imaging anything would break for someone because they do a very good job at getting this into a small form factor, i was extremely shocked that they were able to consolidate the product into such a small box and form factor. So moving the box inside or up and down stairs by yourself should not be a problem. It is heavy, but not awkward. unpacking is a challenge however. I recommend you lay the box flat and carefully cut the cardboard on the edges with a shallow box cutting blade, or you could be brave like i did and use the normal box flaps and try to slide it out the packaging, but be careful! The product is layered and the metal rods might go everywhere. If i were to order another one i would go the flat route next time. All the corners of the wood are packed with corner protectors, so really i was worried about scratching the finish on the metal, however this is not a cheaply made product and the finishes are very durable. The manufacturer must of been very mindful of the parts bags, because it is very easy to pull the parts out of the zip bags and not fighting to try to only get the amount of bolt you need out. One bag was missing a a lable. I found the size of the bolt with my digital caliber.
Whats included: You get the desk, a instruction manual, and the tools required to assemble it. Which is a small wrench screw driver and a Allen key.
Instruction manual: Instruction manual is very well written. A lot of thought went into how it is assembled, the labeling of parts, and their correlation to the instruction steps. Its not over complicated, they do not over instruct use too many part numbers, and i believe the steps listed in the manual is the most efficient way to build this product.
Assembly, this desk is modular. The keyboard and monitor holder can be on ether side so keep that in mind when assembling. This desk is VERY long, and heavy made with high quality parts. There for I RECOMMEND ASSEMBLING IN THE SPOT ITS GOING TO BE IN. I had my father over who is helping me set up my workshop and assemble everything so i dont have too much downtime in the engineering office. With the two of us it was difficult to move the desk 5 feet towards the wall it was going to sit against.
I recommencement after getting the frame assembled before mounting the engineering wood to move the frame where it is going to stay permanently. If you are by yourself good luck moving this. Assembly took me and my father 12 minutes with a drill, and the correct size Allen key bit. You start with the metal frame and the wood goes on last, so i recommend setting the wood pieces to the side until needed. Very easy to assemble, i am confident that by myself without any power tools and using the ones provided i could assemble this in 20 minutes. I recommend Threading all the bold into the holes just to hold the rods on then going and tightening everything after. The keyboard tray was the hardest part on this to assemble. Hopefully the seller can improve here because im not sure if the screw driver would tap into the metal on the keyboard assembly part. It would defiantly help if the holes came tapped. If you dont have second person to hold the keyboard tray sliding rail together while you are trying to put the screws in. Id recommend tape it down with masking tape on each in while you get the screws in.
Quality: Product is very strong, has scratch resistant finish, that is very nice to look at. The wood isnt cheap, its heavy duty. I thought it be partial board, however Im sure its engineering board, The metal paint isnt cheap ether, its actually a very well done fine powder coat that matches the texture of the desk top. The plug on the top is nice. On the right side i have my 3D printer a soldering work station ESD pad, and a full microscope, my desktop computer/engineering workstation sits in the middle In a full size ATX case, and on the left side i have room for a small sound bar and a swinging monitor mount. So as far as size goes, i am quite pleased to find everything will fit like i wanted it too. Desk is stable with very little wobble. Which makes soldering on it easy. Lots of room to store stuff in middle area. The bolts didnt strip out at all and i can see this desk being broken down and assembled multiple times without wear on the hardware.
Conclusion: I ordered 13 pieces of office furniture, and out of those this product has the best quality. Otherwise i would not of taken this time to write such a in depth review. It was well packed, had excellent instructions, fantastic build quality, If you are considering a practical good quality desk that will last, this is a fantastic choice and product.
Overall the desk is pretty good
There are a few things that made it difficult to assemble. Such as having to drill a few of my own holes, and some of the instructions being incorrect.
Once I was past that part, it was a breeze and the desk works well.
So we turned our ManCave into a his hers Studio / Office. We both work 2 days from home so decided on this desk. I am extremely handy, build things all the time. This desk was easy to put together. However, two things were incorrect. 1. The keyboard tray: the pre/drilled holes on the wood sides were backwards. Easy fix, just refilled new holes. 2. The tops: they do not fit perfectly. Had to loosen the both top bars to get the bolts to line up. doesnt offer accessories for this desk like another keyboard tray or monitor stand. I did find a monitor stand (not the same brand) to match. Wire Management was easy as I was able to run chords under the tops of the desk (lots of zip ties used). Been a week, we are happy.
This desk is exactly what we were looking for! My girlfriend started working from home so we needed desk space for her as well as my setup. The size of this desk is just right and can EASILY support multiple monitors. The width of each of the side desks leaves plenty of space for accessories. The finish of the wood seems like it will hold up for some time, but time will tell. The desk is quite sturdy for the simple materials used honestly. I knocked off one star because instructions were not the best as there was stuff mislabeled, but nothing you cant figure out. Outside of that, its been a great desk so far!!
Me and my wife love this desk for our office setup its super sleek! The only thing that gave us trouble was the pull out drawer we couldnt figure out how to set it up.
