I'll start with the positives. This desk is a good quality, good value piece in a modern design. The negatives....there is only one, but it's a biggie. The instructions said it was a 2 man 3 hour job. This took us a lot longer to put together! You need a hand drill to build this desk...we didn't have one so that added to the length of time it took to build it. 3 hours in we got to the drawers...that's where everything started to go wrong. The instructions weren't overly clear throughout but were even more confusing when you reached the drawer building stage. Once we finally managed to work out which way round to fit the drawer runners we then had to fit the drawers - we thought they'd just slide in easily but no, you have to angle the drawer up then force it onto the runner slightly and push hard and angle down. Never actually having put together a flat pack in my life this was probably the wrong piece to choose as a first! All that said, the desk looks pretty amazing and is absolutely perfect for the space I had. If you're prepared to invest the time, blood, sweat and tears to put it together, it's definitely worth it.
