Would be a great desk for $100, not worth the $200
Aesthetically, it is a great looking desk. The issues come with sturdiness. Without it being weighed down, it is a flimsy desk. I can see things rocking simply by typing on a laptop. I have secured everything as tight as possible. I can sway it with an index finger. The wood doesnt line up perfectly, you can see some pieces of the board not being flat. I had a board that would not fit. Now for me to secure one of the shelves I have to take about half of it apart. The instruction manual is terrible. It is 1 piece of paper, front and back, with pictures and minimal words. I basically had to put it together with common sense, which isnt bad but if the instructions were better I would not have to put as much time into it as I did. It wouldnt take much effort from me to break it.
If the desk was more structurally secure, I would be more than happy with it. I have had to move it about an inch away from my wall so I do not constantly hear it rattling against the wall. If it wouldnt be such a hassle to disassemble it, put it back into some sort of packaging, and sending it off I would have returned it. I could justify some of the issues with it if it was ~$100, but for $200 it is way over priced. It more or less feels like something you would want to tie a room together, not an everyday desk.
