Essentials 48" Powered Writing Desk - Great buy
I always hate it when people write reviews and say "it was perfect for what I needed" and then not tell what they needed it for. No help. So this is what I wanted to use it for: I already have a desk in my office, but I have a laptop and large monitor screen. I needed just a little more room for actually writing and having room to keep my everyday supplies handy. N...

Fiber board
This desk is fiberboard with a cheap plastic veneer spill coffee, and it goes down one the cutout, and it will swell and now you need a new desk. Stay away. Returning desk.

As expected
WE are using it for tax season to provide more space to spread out to put files together. It will be a great addition!

Sturdy and Simple
Easy to put together. Doesn't come with instructions but it's common sense to put together - and it's nice to have the electrical outlet in case I need it. Great replacement for my kitchen desk.

Great Value
My main concern for funiture in this price range is the quality of workmanship and material, plus the sturdiness (nothing worse than a dusk that shakes when you're typing). This is a solid piece and was really easy to assemble. Very happy with it.

Sturdy table
The table was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. In fact, there are probably more screws than are needed to attach the legs. The supplied recessed grommet with power and USB charging is a plus and the cable routing openings in the leg is a nice touch to clean up wiring.

Solid contemporary desk
We purchased this desk for our daughter to replace a small rickety student desk that she had. This desk is only a foot longer at 48” but it seems so much bigger. My daughter loves the contemporary style and the built-in plug that neatens up wire clutter. The desk is strong and Solid! I’m happy that we purchased it.

Well-made Desk
I purchased this desk online and had it delivered. My husband helped me get it inside the room where I have my home office. I’m a petite 75-year-old woman, and I was able to unpack all the pieces and assemble the desk entirely by myself. The desk is quite heavy, which makes it very sturdy. I started to use the allen wrench that was included but found it much easier to u...

Nice Table
I already owned the 60" edition of this product, and needed a smaller but matching table. Easy assembly - if you have a power driver with a hex bit. The screw holes for the electrical outlet don't exactly line up, but this isn't a big problem. The only downside is way too much styrofoam in the packaging - have a vacuum handy.

Love my new desk
During this covid crisis I have been working from home 75% of the time and I was using the dining rm table and/or the living room and it's not comfy. Now that I have this desk it's a different world. Ez to put together, lots of alan screws but they provide the wrench. It's sturdy and not too big, perfect size for my dual monitors, keyboard and my tablet computer. Th...

Perfect
This is a sturdy, well-made piece of furniture for an home office. Solid. Assembly instructions written in plain English, took one hour to put it together. The box it comes in is very heavy -- need a hand truck to move it.
