I love this desk. Very simple and straightforward, and great value for the money. I have several espresso pieces of furniture from , and this is the slightest bit browner than the espresso color, but I dont have the desk next to any of those and you cant tell from a few feet. Desk surface does have a wood (kind of sort of?) texture to it, so you cant write with a single sheet of paper, but its not a problem for a notepad or notebook.
Plenty of space for my desktop computer and accessories, plus a lamp and still space to write. Pretty slim (depth-wise), so it doesnt protrude into the room very much, which is nice. Not solid wood, but covered particle board. Would probably scratch easily - I have a few wooden magazine holders I use as desk organizers and Im going to glue some felt to the bottom to prevent scratches.
Feels sturdy enough; perfect for studying. Probably cant withstand serious shaking - I am a hobby sewer and I wouldnt use it for my industrial-duty machine. I didnt use the glue included with the building materials in case I decide to disassemble it once Im done with school, but it hasnt affected its sturdiness.
Verrrry easy to assemble; I dont understand the reviews saying that it was difficult, confusing, or that the hardware broke on them. Took me less than an hour to assemble by myself (52 minutes... timed it for the review!). Yeah, the hardware isnt all made of the strongest steel - dont force it and be deliberate about making sure its in the right spot. There are extra pieces included (see photo), so dont freak out if youve put it all together and theres still pieces left! Also, extra pieces is another reason nobody needs to get too worked up about one of the little twisty anchors or a peg breaking.
