This is exactly what I expected. Not the best materials used for construction. This was easy to assemble... my daughter and I put it together. Took several hours but we did it and are quite happy with it. My daughter will be using this for homework and drawing. Has plenty of space to work on and storage is not bad. the work surface is level. After reading the review about the person who destroyed their entire room and desk assembling I was a bit nervous ordering it. But have come to the conclusion that person was just not very comptent. good desk for the price.

I wanted a desk that would fit my 10 x 12 room that I planned to use a office / spare bedroom. Looking to add a futon and some other items so did not want desk to each up entire room. Saw this desk online and thought man this would be so perfect, it sure was! Aside from a pain to assemble once put together this desk sits very nice and now plan to accommodate it with added shelves and cabinet. For the price also, bang for the buck.

Like you, I read the reviews on this desk and decided it was worth a try given the great sale price. Overall I am happy with the purchase. As others have said, for furniture in a box it seems to be of higher quality than other brands I have purchased in the past. That said, it is still partical board and pressed wood furniture. If you want something really heavy duty stay away.
I needed a new desk for my home office as the old desk I had was a very nice piece of furniture but there was no way to move it upstairs when we moved the office. Was able to buy this desk, and hutch, for less than half what we sold the old desk for so it was very affordable.
It does take a long, long time to assemble. I am a skilled do-it-yourself person. The bottom line is follow the instructions and you will be fine. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is pre-assembled with this furniture. Be patient, put on some good tunes, and expect the process to take a few hours and you will be fine.
The fit and finish are better than expected and we are pleased with our purchase.

Construction is better than most, it is easy to assemble but takes a long time. Would like for more space to move chair underneath it.
