" ... Careful not to bump the edges as they are very prone to chips and cracks. ... "
" ... Screws and lock nuts pulled thru the cheap soft wood which made the desk so unstable that it simply is not useable. ... "
" ... As soon as we got to the construction part it all fell apart. ... Was not stable at all, and the wood was very thin and the nails ripped through the wood. ... We cannot now use part of the desk due to the nails ripping the wood open. ... "
" ... Very flimsy quality. ... "
" ... and didn’t even come with all material and very flimsy ... "
" ... it came poorly marked and took 3 times as long to piece together. ... The quality is substandard with pieces easily breaking and missing. ... "
" ... The tool bag is broken and half of the nails are missing. ... "
" ... Lots and lots of imperfections all over the wood. ... "

" ... Sturdy desk, lots of space on top, in the drawer and the shelves. ... "
" ... But no worries, it is the INSIDE of the desk drawer. ... Note that you can see through to the wall on the right side of the desk under the drawer. ... The drawers move smoothly and the pieces fit together tightly. ... "
" ... I love the size, and how great the storage is, you can see though I am missing a few pieces, some came broken, but for the price it’s a great desk. ... "
" ... We needed something in a tight space and this provides some good storage and a drawer. ... "
" ... and we are looking for same matching small and large size of computer desk with dowers and some with lock, book cabinet and file cabinet for small space. ... "
" ... I didnt add the top shelf so I had more room for my monitors and it worked perfectly. ... "
" ... It does not impact the use of the drawer or anything, but if you are kind of OCD this might bother you a bit. ... Other than that minor drawer aesthetic it’s a great desk for $99 so far and very pleased with it. ... "
" ... Great for my daughters room but took forever to put together. ... "
