- This desk is a great price for the quality of the desk. It was very easy to put together. And it looks great. I am using as a reception desk for my business and I love the simple and rustic look it brings to the business. Pros: Great value, easy assebly Cons: no cons for me
- Just what I was looking for. Great size for my husband to work on, but still looks great as it sits in a "public" room. The shelves are nice for storage. Nice quality, sturdy and seems well built. Easy to put together, as well.

- I was very happy with the desk. The color and the size were perfect for what I needed. Good quality. The instructions were really great. Every piece and screw were marked. It does take a while to construct it, even though it is not difficult. Would definitely recommend.
- The desk is really great quality and easy to follow instructions but set aside a minimum of 2 hours. Youll even need to build the draws. Everything put together is perfectly squared and stable. I LOVE MY NEW DESK!!! (Got the gray.) Would love ensemble pieces for my home office.
- The desk came quickly in good condition. Seems to be decent quality and the directions were easy to follow, even though there were a lot of parts. It took most of an afternoon to put it together. I would recommend it if you have the patience to put it together.

- GREAT QUALITY - Except - one of the drawers inside track was broke when I got it - I thought it could fix it - but - nope... and Wayfair doesn't follow up with their buyers. But I still love my desk - it looks like the drawer piece was damaged during Shipping
- Great quality. Love the color. Took a while to put together and was missing a necessary screw so had to track down an extra one I had laying around. Some of the pieces were confusing (screws and such) bc they were not labeled and mixed in with one another. But overall I love the desk.
- Love this desk! Assembly was relatively easy and the finish on the desk is very rich and fantastic! There is plenty of space to work and the USB charging station on top of the desk is great. The quality is great for the price. Very happy with this order!

- I Absolutely love this Desk! It was definitely tricky to put together alone but the quality is good and it's a good sturdy desk! I would recommend assembling on carpet I had tile floor and while putting it together the top got a deep scratch from a tiny pebble on the floor.
- Desk was better than expected. Directions say 30 minutes to put together, but it took closer to an hour for 2 of us. Not bad and everything is really well labeled. It's not real wood but the quality seems good for the price. Looks great and we are happy with our purchase.
- I love this desk in my office space. Very sturdy and good quality. It took several hours to assemble. Assemble in the place where the desk will be because it is very heavy to move. This desk is a game changer. It makes me look forward to going to work (from home).

- Bought the desk in blue for college student's room. Great quality; fits the space perfectly. Sturdy with no blemishes. Drawers are small (rarely used anyway). Delivery was quick! Knowing what I know now, I'd buy it all over again. No buyer's remorse.
- I bought this in blue because the white one is out of stock. I am glad that I ended up with this color, it is a beautiful blue and will look great in a beach house. Great quality for the price and shipping was very fast.
- Bought in yellow, which turned out to be bold, bright and beautiful. Overall quality is solid, however some details, such as paint on the underside and mild cracking around the pre-drilled holes was observed. However, these blemishes were all in areas of the product that are not visible once desk is upright.

- This desk fits well in my space. Its lightweight and a little shorter than I imagined. The price point was great for the product. It was a little difficult to build because the pieces were not labled and look similar.
- I like it. Looks nice enough and fits the space we needed. It's not the most sturdy thing in the world but what do you expect for $36? And it wasn't horrendous to put together as some reviewers said
- This desk is the perfect addition to my work space. It's small enough to not takeover the small space - and large enough for me to work without feeling cramped. I've gotten many compliments on how it looks!

- Desks are perfect size for my 4 and 6 yr old kids. Will need to buy bigger desk for my son though in a couple years. Price was right and you do get what you pay for. Desk needs to be also st a wall as is a bit wobbly.
- Very easy to put together and perfect size to fit in my bedroom. The only reason is I am not giving it 5 stars is because it is a little flimsy but at this price point that is to be expected.

- It’s very good for the price. Tiny bit wobbly but u really can’t even tell, I would definitely recommend this if you want a smaller cheap desk. I am using it for a makeup desk, it’s a great height and size for my small room. Very useful!
- Great size for small spaces...matches well...sturdy enough for a laptop, lamp, although I’ve jammed as much as a laptop, lamp and monitor on it. Easy to put together. When in 1st purchased the desk, I placed it in the closetden. After moving to another apt, it now fits nicely in the hallway wo protruding into walkway.
