Not made well.
I was excited about this desk. It does not go together easily. Many of the holes were not drilled properly to fit the hardware provided. In addition, many of the holes do not line up. I do not reccomend this since it is a gamble of whether or not you will be able to assemble it correctly. I do not expect it to last long.

Don't order!
The first desk that arrived had slight damage however was useable until I started putting it together and holes didn't match up. Staples did send another desk but this desk had way more damage than the first and the holes still didn't match up. There is a reason why it's so cheap! On a positive note, Staples customer service (via email) has been easy to communicate with...

Small desk
This desk was difficult to assemble. The holes did not line up properly in some areas. In other areas the directions called for a washer and a lock washer. If I used both, the bolt was not long enough to get any purchase. I ended up removing the washer. At that point the screw made good purchase. In other areas the bolt was positioned where it could not be reached. I en...

Definitely would not recommend
The outlet hole is way smaller than the outlet cable it came with, the assembly was terrible, box came damaged and after completing assembly the desk is lopsided and cannot be corrected. Super frustrating. No wonder it was on sale.

Worst assembly ever
If I had known that it would be that much work to build, I would not have bought it. The creators were very lazy because a lot of this stuff they could have done for you, thus making your life easier. Anyways my desk is hardly standing and I’ll probably end up throwing it away because it’s tilting. My first and last time shopping furniture at Staples

Cute desk but unsatisfied
Upon receiving the desk and when putting it together, I noticed that a lot of the hardware didn’t align properly with the pre drilled holes and specific parts weren’t long enough to correctly assemble the desk.

Desk does not fold up
I ordered this for my home office because it looked like the ones that the desk folds back up. I needed space for my home office and though this would be a great fit, but I didn't realize it did not fold up until I was l looking at the instructions. It still is a great looking desk but if you're looking for space saving desk this probably is not the one.

Looks great / A nightmare to build
I guess you get what you paid for. I paid for it in blood, sweat and frustration. Several predrilled holes were not aligned well. I was very fortunate to be able to complete the entire piece. The worst portion for me was the left side end panel, which was put on last. The screws were barely long enough to grab the threads and screw in. I had to leave one out becaus...

Cheaply made...wood is not good Don't spend $231
Ikea would work out better for this price. Quality of the desk is no good and looks aweful in person.

Perfect fit; assemble issues
Beautiful and compact desk but assembly was slightly misleading with screws; fit being slightly off.

Desk is nice but was very hard to work with not all the screws were easy to get in the first time and were not drilled properly. Took over 3 hours to get it all done. But once it was finished I am happy with it.
