Since starting this work-from-home adventure with the kids at home all day 6.5 weeks ago, Ive moved my workspace from the living room to the dining room to the rec room and finally to my bedroom. Not thrilled about settling into the bedroom, but its the only place with a door I can close during meetings (which is most of my day). Needed to upgrade the wobbly tv table I was using to something more sturdy, but small enough for this little corner of my room. Found this cute little desk thats the perfect size - not bad for $40!
Assembly was easy for this an pro. There were 2 screw holes that werent drilled properly, so I had to find a couple bigger screw to use instead, which worked out fine. I do wish the screws on the top went in flush so they wouldnt be as visible. The quality definitely isnt as good as with their cam screws and flush screws on surfaces.
Ive only used it for 2 days so far, but its a vast improvement over my wobbly tray table. I like that it has the second level for my monitor and laptop so I can fit a mouse and keyboard on the main desk, and have a little storage under the shelf. The edge of the desk is a little sharp, but putting a wrist rest along the front fixed that. I have a feeling the paint will probably wear away from the edge fairly soon, but thats fine- Im really hoping I dont need to use this for more than a few months until my kids can go back to camp/school so the house is quiet enough for me to move back into the dining room!
I really liked it. Its small and practical for my small bedroom. I love how sturdy it is. It was pretty simple to assemble. I like the little shelves and bottom space for boxes. Overall pleased.
Product arrived damaged on the corner from delivery. It was not a big deal as it was on the edge covered by the shelf. Exactly what I needed for a Stay at Home office. Measurements are exact.
I purchased 2 of these desks for mine and my gfs gaming laptops to set on. I set them both up in less than an hour. The instructions were very easy to follow and I only had one blip with one desk.
Which I believe its because I used an electric screwdriver, I had too much force and chewed the hole too fat and so the screw wouldnt stay stuck in. Luckily I had some screws laying around that were just as wide and a little longer so I was able to continue.
So just keep in mind this is not a FULL FORCE!! type of build, be gentle when screwing in the smaller screws and always make sure you are lined up when screwing in the long ones. If you do it all right these desks rock!
I will update this review in the coming months if anything changes.

The desks are still sturdy and useable! One peeve I have is the cubbies holding a lot of heat from my laptop fans as they blow out from behind. If you have a desktop youll probably be fine and the cubbies wont be a problem!
If you dont have good ventilation where you are working (or you dont have a laptop cooling pad) it is very easy to overheat a laptop just from those cubbies holding heat and the laptop cycling hot air back in.
Laptop users keep that in mind.
Desk turned out very nice. My biggest complaint is the instructions. They dont show which length screw to use. Of course I used the long screws to attach to the underside of the desk which when I turned it over discovered they came through the top. Fortunately I was going to add contact paper to the top anyway.
Just what I needed while Im working from home during COVID-19. Fits my laptop, mouse and extra monitor on top just fine. If you take your time putting it together it is sturdy, its easy to assemble. Ive recommended to a couple friends who are also working from home.
Outside of the silver screws that they sent that do not take at all because they are too small decent little desk for laptop only. Its small but serves its purpose!
Cant get much better for the small price I paid. Perfect fit in my sons bedroom. Since he is finishing up the school year at home I wanted to give him his own area to do school work. Happy with this purchase.

Great little desk for $40!

Good for Small Spaces

Value for money
I really like how mine looks.. you get what you pay for tho.. not the most sturdy desk but it does the job!
Careful of the weather instructions

Silver screws do not fit or hold anything
Outside of the silver screws that they sent that do not take at all because they are too small decent little desk for laptop only. Its small but serves its purpose!
Cost friendly and easy to assemble
Cant get much better for the small price I paid. Perfect fit in my sons bedroom. Since he is finishing up the school year at home I wanted to give him his own area to do school work. Happy with this purchase.
Good size for chrome book
Not very sturdy. Told my kids not to put much weight on them. Do not lean or sit on them at all.
