Perfect for my study room

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This desk is just amazing. The quality is nice and sturdy. the design is just great because of the glass top which gives it a classic and nice look; the 2 drawers are small but spacious enough to place few things in. Also between the glass and desk there’s a space which allow you to put things too. The desk is wide enough to place my laptop and my books which is what I mostly look for one a desk. The set up did take me some time to put everything together but other than that I have no complaint about it. Overall If you’re looking for a high quality desk, that looks good with enough space this one is the one for you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Big upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This office desk was very easy to build. I don't recall how long it took to build, maybe an hour, but it was relatively painless as the instructions were clear. Just be sure that you pay close attention to the locations of the holes on the parts in the pictures. That part could be easy to mess up. When assembled it is a very nice looking desk and I am using it as I type this review. I would recommend it to anyone with any assembly skill level. All you need is a phillips-head screwdriver.

Beautiful and Unique For So Many Decorating Styles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This desk is gorgeous. It is a light grey color which makes it adaptable to so many furniture schemes. We have a mostly rustic farmhouse style and it looks adorable. I could see this desk fitting in with farmhouse, traditional and even modern decor.
This took me about two hours to put together. I found the directions very clear and easy to follow. You might need a hand putting this one together once you get to the drawers. This was the part where I did need a little bit of help.
For the most part, there is great quality to this desk. The pieces were sturdy and solid. It is not a cheap, particle board material. The pieces are solid! It isn't super heavy (until you get the glass on top), and it seems like it is quite sturdy.
The sliding drawers were a bit tricky and took two of us to finally get them even and installed. The drawers are my least favorite part of the desk. When trying to pull them out in order to use them, you have to wiggle a little bit. Unfortunately, they don’t just slide out easily. Instead, you have to force them open. It takes a little bit more work than it should. I was thinking these would just easily roll out, but they don’t. To me, this is a minor issue considering how beautiful I think the desk is.
I am also not a fan of how thin the legs are. They are sturdy, but looking at the size of the desk, I wish they were a bit thicker. I think it would have been much more aesthetically pleasing. With this being such a stand out piece and such a beautiful and large top half with the adorable grey wood and glass, it would have looked nicer to have thicker desk legs. For lack of a better word, the legs just look scrawny and make the desk look a little less attractive.
I love the glass on top of this desk. It has such a unique look to it, and I have already received compliments on it. Like I mentioned before, it fits into almost any style of decor, but it is still such a unique piece. I haven’t really seen a desk like this before, which means this is a fun piece and a lovely addition for our home.
All in all, I am happy with this desk. Though there are a couple aspects I was not as pleased about, it is a fun and distinctive piece of furniture that is versatile for a variety of decorating styles.

Sturdy and Nice Looking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This desk is pretty. The laminate veneer, black metal and thick glass top all combine nicely for a very timeless, very nice looking desk. Also, this desk is heavy. not solid wood heavy, but much heavier than you expect from flatpack furniture. It's mostly the half inch thick glass desk top, but the veneer wrapped particle board is pretty heavy too.
The quality of the materials on this desk are very good. The hardware is excellent. None of the screws rounded on me, which is a first in my very long history of flatpack furniture assembly. While particle board is not the highest quality material, this particle board was much nicer than any I've every worked with. The pieces were solid, no flaking of material from the unfinished ends, no weak predrilled holes, no tearout from overtightening. Really good materials. The drawer sliders even lock into place when fully closed, although they can take a little effort to open.
The desk is an excellent size at 56" in width. The depth is nice, plenty adequate for a couple of monitors, large keyboard with wrist rest, an oversized mouse mat, and a small printer or scanner. The drawers are kinda deep, although they are not file folder deep. The glass top is raised above the wood surface of the desk, essentially doubling you desktop space. While not the most accessible space everywhere, this is hugely handy to store a desk calendar, appointment book, a couple of pins, or a novel.
Assembly was not easy. There are a lot of steps, and while each of the steps was very simple, with everything provided except the phillips head screwdriver, there were a lot of steps. This is a half day job, not an hour or two job. The desk goes together really well, and everything lined up nicely, with one exception. The drawers. The drawers were out of square after assembly, and not amount of manipulation would make the gaps perfectly square. They close great, and there is no operational issue. It's just a cosmetic issue, but it was a little disappointing.
That said, the desk looks great, and is of excellent quality. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

Really Nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This really upgraded my office. I was able to build it by myself over the course of a couple days, probably 3-4 hours total. However, it wasn't hard to follow the instructions or set up, there are just a lot of components at play. The space between the drawers is great, I'm able to sit with my legs crossed in my chair and not touch anything. The drawers are a good size and useful to keep everything off the top of your desk. I also have my keyboard under the glass, and it's comfortable to type on. There's enough room to type without bumping into the glass too much, but it is a little bit of a close fit. I wish the glass was elevated about half an inch higher, but there is plenty of space under it to store things like laptops, iPads, planners, etc. without issue. My mouse is also under the glass, and I'm able to operate it with no issues. I also have a large monitor, speakers and laptop on the desk and there's still plenty of room without it feeling cramped.

Great Desk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look/ design of this desk. It matches so many styles so it's versatile. It's a little modern, a little farmhouse and a little rustic. I was looking for a new desk and I wanted something stylish and with storage. I love that this desk has two drawers. The glass top is great. It essentially doubles my works space. I can put my keyboard and papers under the glass and easily read them while I put my coffee on top of the glass. If I spill my coffee my papers are protected. Not sure if that's what it was intended for but it's a bonus feature for sure. I love the wood and metal features. The size is perfect for what I need it for. It'll fit a computer nicely. assembly was easy but did a take a few hours and I recommend having 2 people to help put it together. The quality of the materials are nice and feel durable.

Looks great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago and just recently was able to assemble it. It seems like a well made desk (high quality wood, metal, glass components) but the screws were a little cheap and tore up easily when installing. Installing overall was very difficult and the drawers were especially difficult to work with. Very complex and I would avoid unless someone has a bunch of experience assembling things like this. Took me roughly 6 hours to complete.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
