  • Decent desk-long review
Color: White
Ok, let’s be serious here. Many of these negative reviews are ridiculous. Of course this desk isn’t solid wood. Look at the cost for goodness sakes! It’s particle board. Still, it’s a good solid desk. I have duel monitors plus a laptop (3-monitors total). It’s a little small & crowded using 3 but would be just fine with 2. I set it up by myself in about 1.5 hours and I’m a middle aged half blind woman! Joking/not joking. The secret is to line up all the pieces in Alphabetical order, divide up all the hardware in separate bowl’s, add the hardware in order. That way, once you are ready to put the pieces all together it’ll go smoothly. *hot tip: there are these black lock nut/anchor thingies that are supposed to fit super tight. I got a small towel and a hammer. I put the towel over the thingies and gently hammered them in, making special note to have the opening facing correctly- (you’ll understand once you see it). There are a few pieces that use securing screws and if you aren’t careful you can pierce the particle board and ruin your nice smooth surface. I recommend that you go slow to make sure you are lined up properly. You can always reverse and realign. Just be methodical about it. * Hot tip: Avoid the manual screwdriver and opt for the electric one. Seriously. You’ll thank me! Before you upright your desk, do yourself a huge favor and wiggle all the parts and retighten the hardware. Inevitably you’ll find that some of them are loose and when you flip the desk it’ll make it much easier for you. All & all, I really like this desk. Plus, if I ever wear it out then the cost is minimal so it wouldn’t be a big deal. Great desk for: Students Gamers Crafters Simple home office (not long term) Pro: Cost Sturdy Easy to clean Attractive Cute little shelves Easy to set up with 1 person (good instructions) Con: -The work space is a little crowded for 3-monitors (but ok w/ 2). -Cable management is a little oddly spaced (it allows the cords to be on the outside rather than inside - kinda odd to me) -no drawers or storage Still, even with the Con, I’d still buy it again and I’d still recommend to others. ... show more

  • Good desk
Color: White
I was looking for a desk and got this one for $65 on sale. It’s pretty good for the most part, I will say the instructions are weird as I’ve built several things from Amazon, common pieces and screws etc in all of them and this was the first one where it made me do certain things before other steps where it made it harder later on when putting the actual desk pieces together. When doing that it’s made it to where the side with shelves don’t connect completely but it’s still pretty sturdy either way. For $65 I’m not disappointed whereas it’s pretty spacious and does what I want and looks great. It said 1 hour to put together but it did take me 2 lol. I was scared my monitor wouldn’t fit with the look I wanted and it did which is great. Still plenty of room. Overall I love it. ... show more

  • Follow the instructions EXACTLY.
Color: Black Oak
Great, sturdy, nice looking desk. I found it easy enough to put together, but my husband did not lol. It HAS to be put together in the right order, if you try to get ahead and do something before the instructions say to do that part it won't fit together right. If you're the kind of person who doesn't like to follow the directions and wants to just put it together, you're gonna have a bad time. It didn't require any tools not in the box (except to fix what my husband broke when he tried, he's one of the previously mentioned no-instructions people lol), the instructions were easy to follow, the connections used worked great. It is that particle board kind of wood, so breaks just a little bit easier than I'd prefer, but I expected that for the price. Overall I'd buy it again. Just definitely follow the instructions!!! ... show more

  • Worth it at $99, and worth keeping for a lifetime.
Color: Espresso
Short and sweet: You're definitely getting the bang for your buck here. It offers a lot of workspace while taking up a small area of your home, and while it has no keyboard tray or drawers, there's still plenty of leg room all around to add those yourself (or move a short end table underneath). It's sturdy*, not easy to scratch**, and very easy to install... if you get the instructions. If you do order one: right after you place the order, contact the Ameriwood company on their website about needing instructions for it. They'll send an email to you within 1-3 days, depending on when you ask. Be sure to check your spam mail, as they only send the instructions, and there is no body to their email. Since not including assembly instructions is a common problem, I'll probably post them somewhere or make a video on Youtube about it and update this review later to include it. Just a convenience to have. I should have emailed them when I ordered, hoping I'd get the instructions, and yet they did not come. Though when I got the desk, after a little while I figured out assembly myself. Assembly time: approx. 1hr 30min with one person... Awesome. I even managed to move it myself pretty easily to where I needed it. (5'1" female weighing in at a whopping 112 lbs.) I moved it while it was on a carpet. Two would be better/faster for moving this, especially if moving it across a hard wood floor. All in all, this is worth it. And at the price it's at, I won't even be mad if the animals or my kiddo (when she's old enough to even walk) scratches it or messes it up. It's worth fixing up later on as I need to, as it is a simply well and very nicely made desk. *I have a muttsky (husky/sheppard/wolf mix) who is rather clumsy, and with all his rough-housing around my desk with his soccer and tennis ball (much to my dismay), he can't seem to bump into it enough to disturb my monitor or other desk décor. **I've had a kitten misjudge how slippery the surface was when she jumped onto it from my husband's desk and - claws out - fly right off the other side... and no scratches. For those of you who have never had a cat or even a kitten, their claws are known to be mercilessly sharp. ... show more
