I would suggest that you take it off the market. It took my father who was a carpenter for many many years almost 6 hours to put together. Very flimsy to put together. Scathes very easily. I would not buy another one or suggest anyone to buy one. [@]
This desk is exactly what the online description, box, and price-point said it was. We bought this desk as an inexpensive home office option to fit in a corner and still provide enough desktop space to work. The desktop is spacious enough for a larger laptop, a resonable printer, and writing space. In all, this is ideally what we were looking for, expected when we bought it, and now are using it for.
I had no problem setting this up and directions were easy to follow.
I have a lot of assemble yourself furniture....not a big fan of pressboard..BUT this piece is solid for the price! Assembled easily, Fits perfectly in my space. Really exceeded my expectations! I had to raise it a little(not the furnitures fault) for the work i do and it still feels sturdy. My only suggestion is to NOT use a drill or power driver to join the 2 desktops together....a hand screwdriver is sufficient.
One side looks great and the other side is unfinished. If I knew that before purchase I would not have purchased desk. I thought could use as an L desk as it says on box. But once started to assemble, realized unfinished surface around entire outside. Desk MUST be placed in a corner.
You could add a pull out keyboard to this desk. If you would like assistance in selecting one you can contact us at 1-800-333-3330.

Q:
Does anyone have a picture of what it looks like from the other side? I was going to use this as a receptionist/front desk. I just noticed it is more of a corner desk. Thanks!

You're right: this is intended to go in a corner, and would not serve well as a reception desk.

Q:
I'm setting up this desk for the second time and I no longer have the directions. I'm wondering if there's any online directions or something to print out.
