Great Desk Shelf at a Good Price, Tips in Review
on September 2, 2021
Posted by: Whitney K.
I definitely love this shelf. It looks nice, it functions well, and it's just the thing I needed! It was fun to assemble (but I LIKE Ikea-type stuff), and it seems fairly sturdy thus far. Assembly tips: 1. Pay attention to the finished edge of the boards. The instructions that I received didn't mention which direction the finished sides/edges should point, so you'll need to definitely keep that in mind as you're putting it together. 2. The directions didn't always label which pieces go where. The picture showed the pieces you needed, and it was pretty easy to figure out which one it was, but it didn't expressly label them. 3. When you're attaching the drop-leaf, screw in the hinges before the arms. You can lay the shelf down on its back, and then use your leg or a few books to keep the leaf propped open and up while you get the screws in. Fold it up and down a few times BEFORE you attach the arms to make sure that it fits correctly in the shelf frame. I had to adjust the screws in the hinges a few times to make it sit just right, but once I got it, it folded up cleanly! THEN attach the arms and fold back and forth a few times to make sure that nothing's snagging and that it fits well in the frame. 4. When I was adjusting the leaf hinges, I ended up getting the darn thing stuck inside of the frame a few times because it was too offset. There's no knob to pull the leaf back out, but I used a short string to open it. I just threaded it through the little eye for the hook closure and then used that as a handle. After the leaf was well-adjusted, I didn't need any handle because it falls open with gravity once the hook is unlocked.5. There's a couple of drawer stops that you need to install as the last step before mounting. You need to partially insert the drawer, and then stick your hand inside of the drawer to screw the stops in. It may require small hands if you can't get the angle right. I personally had to use a single rubber glove to also screw the stopper in because it's a smooth, finished metal with no grip. The glove gave me the grip I needed and my hands were small enough to get inside.6. The mounting system is pretty neat. It has two cleats that you screw into the wall and then two pseudo hooks on the back of the shelf that you hang on to them. The hook part can be initially wobbly, but it has two screws on the inside of the shelf to adjust the tension for how well it holds onto the cleat. This is useful if you didn't mount the cleats quite level on the walls. I think it allows for about a half-inch wiggle room.Snags included, it only took me about an hour to assemble on my own with a single phillips screwdriver and a single glove (optional for the drawer stoppers). It would probably be quicker with two people so that one person could help balance the unit, but it's not necessary.

Table is good

When the pieces are put together properly, the table itself is a 5/5. But the blueprint to set it up sucks.

A little challenging to put together but not too bad. It's sturdy and looks nice. I'd buy it again!

Great for small kids

The product was delivered today and it took ten minutes to assemble it. Looks really nice and our baby seems to like it. Definitely recommend buying it if you want to have a safe place for playtime. I was worried about plastic odor but it doesn't have any! Suction cups don't work like previous reviews mentioned, so you will need a mat or a carpet. I am happy with this purchase, it's worth the money!
