Well made with a nice finish. Easy to assemble. This brand of furniture, for its price is worth considering.This desk is just flat out nice. Great quality, easy to put together. Do not hesitate to buy this desk!What you see in the pictures is what you get. The desk has a solid build and clean presentation. No, it's not assembled from solid oak planks, but it also doesn't cost $600. I don't have the woodworking expertise to tell you much about all the negative reviews, but I did spend my 20s limping from one Sauder to the next. This product is substantially better than anything I've ever gotten in its price range.What I look for is obvious places for a stick-on veneer to start peeling or unsound structural joins. This desk has neither. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that you do not simply turn screws into wood. Leick has sunk metal anchors into the wood (picture attached).As the material says, this desk is very easy to assemble. As a 6' tall, 220 pound guy, I had little troubles assembling it myself. Bless the person that decided that every customer-installed bolt should be exactly the same size!There are only two steps (depending on how you count steps, of course), but essentially you start with the unit upside down, attach the three sides, then attach the floor shelf. When I was looking at the directions, my prediction was that flipping the unit back to its upright position would be the hardest part, and that turned out to be true.In that second step, you need to manually suspend the shelf while attaching it to the legs. Since this desk has no visible exterior bolts, this attachment is done from the inside out. If that's not making sense, picture your typical Sauder-type furniture: there's a hole in the outer shell and you stick a screw through that and into the inside piece. Conversely, the Leick furniture has a hole on the inner piece and you stick a bolt through that into an anchor on the back/interior side of the outer shell. So, with the Sauder-style, you can sit on the floor, hold the suspended piece with one hand while driving straight in from the outside. With this piece, you can sit on the floor and hold the shelf up, but then you won't be able to see what you're doing. And, since it's a metal screw (no pointy end), it takes a bit more guesswork to blindly guide it into the anchor than a wood screw. After a bit of trying to get a screw into the center/rear leg, I decided instead to thread into one of the side legs. That was easier. As soon as I had the first bolt set, the rest was a snap.Reading back over that, I made it sound worse than it was. I don't think that I spent more than a couple of minutes total on the lower shelf. If you're much smaller than I am, though, get some help. Two people of any size working together will have no problems assembling this unit.As other reviews have stated, this unit is a bit small for a 6' person to use as a computer desk. I adapted very quickly, though. The drawer is too small to use for a keyboard and mouse and for someone of my height, it's too low anyway. It's true that you can't get a chair with arms adjusted for a 6' person under the desk, but I don't know what's a problem (rolling the chair under at night?). My elbows are resting on my chair arms and I'm typing comfortably.Leg room is OK... If I sit with my knees bent at the ergonomically-correct 90-degree angle, the top of my legs just barely make contact with the bottom of the desk. Not nearly enough to bother me. As I shift during a normal work day, I have no problems. I occasionally bump up against that lower shelf, but that hasn't been any big deal either.I think this unit would be ideal as a writing desk for someone of my height, but as a computer desk I think it would be better suited to someone a few inches shorter. If you're in that 6' range like I am, then you're already accustomed to a world designed for someone a few inches shorter, so it's about what you expect. If you're much taller than I am, I would look for something else.Exactly like the photos and dimensions are true to size. Easy to assemble and directions are clear. The drawer can be used as a drawer or as a pull out keyboard tray. Sorry I waited so long to order!If you gonna be getting this - be ready with a bottle of strong glue, and even stronger friend yielding a drill!None of the screws were inside the "hardware" baggie in the desk drawer; baggie wasn't even taped down, so all the various bits were all over the box itself. The tiny screws holding the wood panels to the "legs" of the table all fell out (those were factory set in!) while was still unpacking (again, good luck finding among the packing styrofoam) ; and most insultingly, one of the desk bottom leg pieces was missing! It's not even a cheap clip-on rubber piece, but a fairly thick long screwThe assembly instructions are just one sheet (4 panels of art) which aren't a problem. Trying to force the leg frame to align to the main desk piece is! The angle is just slightly off, thus the provided screw is both too short (to grasp parts together) and at wrong angle (this is where u need a drill to just make your own space)So first of all, the size of the corner you would put this thing in should be at least 34" x 34" It was a little hard to tell from the description but it ended up fitting perfectly in my space.It arrived quicker than expected. It's a giant box and kind of heavy but mostly awkward. You would definitely need two people to carry it up a flight of stairs. Assembly was extremely easy; it comes in five pieces and requires 12 screws. All the hardware is identical so there's nothing to mix up. I managed it by myself, although the shelf at the bottom is too heavy to hold up one handed so I had to prop it up on a chair. But it seriously took like 15 minutes to put together.It's pretty heavy. Much heavier than, say, an IKEA desk. However because of the weight it is extremely solid. It doesn't feel cheap at all. The action on the drawer is very smooth and the front of the drawer latches and unlatches easily (to swing down if you're using it as a keyboard tray).I'm 5'5" and the desk is the perfect size for me. There's not a ton of extra leg room so if you are tall this might not be the right desk for you. The drawer is the perfect ergonomic height for keyboard use. The actual desk top which is a few inches higher would probably be too tall for everyday keyboard use.Overall a great little desk for the price; perfect for a studio or small space.SolidThe desk is beautiful and looks nice in the small space. I like the fact that the keyboard is in the drawer and leaves space on top of the desk to work. It was relatively easy to put together. The drawer is already attached to the desk top.I bought this to match my existing mission desk. The desk is beautiful and solid. Shipping was a nightmare but the desk arrived in one piece without any damage. I'm very happy with this purchase.I had it together for one day and the door on the keyboard tray fell off. The screws pulled out of the paper used to make it. I wish I could get them to send me just a new tray front without having to send the whole thing back at my expense.Came very well packaged and in perfect condition. Took about 20 minutes to assemble and it looks great!Awesome desk. As shown!Very well made!
