Its cute and functional.... but not built to last.
Small footprint is great and the cubby inside can store notebooks and such. However after only 3 months it’s falling apart. I’ve replaced the hinges and reinforced them but it doesn’t matter. The desk itself is made of particle board that just disintegrates. I’ll have to buy a new desk that I don’t have the $$ for soon.
Great perfect size desk to hold bills etc, stylish
This is a great little desk. It is light and compact, but has lots of room to just get paperwork out of the way. It fits great in my kitchen and goes easy with my decor.
Overpriced Disappointment
I bought this piece for a specific spot in my small apartment. IF it stays together, it should serve its purpose - but this piece is junk. I've bought, and assembled myself (so I'm quite good at it), many pieces of MDF furniture before; even being MDF and not real wood, this desk should be better. It's cheaply made and of poor quality. The metal leg pieces were actually dirty, inside the plastic they were packaged in. From the first turn of every screw, the MDF around the holes for the screws cracks. The slide mechanism for the pull-down door is noisy and "tight," as another reviewer noted. The knob on the pull-down door looks cheap. And the legs assembly is terrible: if you assemble the legs per the instructions, they don't line up with the holes for the box. I had to disassemble the legs portion after I'd put it together, and reassemble each leg to the desk box and THEN attach the support bar to the legs. And as others noted, the screws for the hinges are too short. For my paperwork storage, the piece should work okay, but it's basically junk and I'm very disappointed with it. It's not worth the money.
Great Piece!
Love the piece. Would suggest using an power screw driver or drill. Some of the screws are hard to get in manually. The floor of the unit could have a cut out for cords to drop down for a computer, otherwise, when closing the door the cords need to be unplugged. I didn't use the vertical board as it took up space for my computer. It will serve its purpose well in a tight space.
Cheap & ow quality furniture
The material used is cheap MDF and crumbles during assembly. There is nothing wood about this furniture despite the description. The legs are metal and not adjustable (had to put support to level them). The screws for the hinges were very short and they popped right up with crumbled pieces of MDF when the lid was closed. I had to put in longer screws and manually drilled them in. The lid does not open or close smoothly (the support is noisy and requires a hard pull / push to open and close the lid and manual adjustment in my case to close it properly into its space). Overall, it is a compact furniture that would fit into small spaces; however, is very low in quality.
Good product with annoying assembly
I live in a very small apartment and needed a equally, very small desk that would fit into the corner. This is perfect, and looks great once assembled. However, there were several annoying issues with assembling the desk: 1) several of the holes were either in the wrong place, or absent entirely, requiring me to drill my own; 2) the 6 screws for the hinges are WAY TOO SHORT and as soon as I folded the desk down, they came straight out, and I had to buy new ones (#8 5/8" are perfect); and 3) one of the pieces was mislabeled and it made me think the desk legs weren't going to come together correctly. Summary: Great desk that fit my needs exactly, but had a horrible time putting it together.
