Urban Shop Folding Writing Desk, Black

Table SEEMED sturdy, and I was very excited to unfold it and arrange it in my office. The very first time I carefully unclipped the legs to fold it as a trial run, the whole table top separated from the legs, and fell to the ground. It turns out the pressed board material of this table top has (most likely) collected moisture and soften over time. All three bolt-holes that keep the table top in place are wallered out, rendering the table totally unstable at best - dangerous in certain circumstances (like in my case, having toddlers in the house).I tried to find an option to contact the seller, but it appears as though that option is no longer available on Amazon? At least not for this item. Maybe the seller can reach out and offer a well deserved refund, but until then, this definitely gets one star.

Overall, I agree with other reviewers that this is an awesome size, perfect for my master bedroom office work. There was LITERALLY NO ASSEMBLY! And even better, it doesn't tip or move on the carpeted floor. Perfect space for a regular sized printer, Apple laptop, a few small bins for work, and a notepad.Beware though, the first one I ordered arrived looking like a dog took a massive bite out of the desktop in the upper right corner. The desktop is actually just laminated black particleboard so it was easily damaged in transit. Be sure to check it out as soon as you get it, especially if it's a gift.

After reading the reviews, I gambled that mine would not arrive damaged. Surely, the company is aware of the reviews and has fixed the packaging problem, right? Wrong!! It arrived damaged in March 2017. The problem is the original box only has a long, thin piece of bubble wrap thrown in the bottom of the box. There is no special wrapping for the corners which is why one of my corners arrived bent and cracked. Also, there is no special wrapping for the piece under the table that holds the legs open once unfolded. Half of that piece arrived broken. My husband glued it back on. I hope that it stays. The only positive thing is that no assembly is required. It's an ingenius design that easily folds. It's unlike most folding tables that have the folding piece at an angle that takes up leg room. I love the straight legs and that I can have a client pull up a chair and use it from the other side. The open design allows for this. The size is perfect to extend my L-shaped desk for room to sort papers, etc. Once this company fixes the packaging problem, they would get all 5 stars instead of much less.

This little desk would have been perfect for what I wanted if it had not been damaged. The small leaf was broken--package was the original box but without reinforcement for shipping. The box was torn and damaged with the table visible through the separated and loosely taped edges of the package. When opened, the table section was broken. The package was so damaged it could not be used to return the table and the cost too little to bother about. However, I was terribly disappointed--especially when I saw how perfectly the table would have worked in my home office and how nice the unbroken part was. I think if it had been better protected, the table would have been intact. I was going to contact the seller first but there was no link to do so when I looked for one.

Unfortunately I didn't unpack this until after the return deadline. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It was cracked on the top. Pictures are as followed. Amazon did refund me however they did not refund the total amount. Very disappointing. I bought this to put a desktop on for my visiting grandson who is not scheduled to arrive until this month. I went ahead and left it in the box until last week when I was ready to set the computer up.I guess I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones and it was going to be perfect.

I love this table. It is very sturdy for my wild boys. It fits our space perfectly and looks good. The only problem was it was scratched when I received it and I have had to order a new one. I hope that the new one will actually be new. I feel like the one I got was returned from someone else. I'm not paying that much money for something to arrive damaged. It should've never been mailed to me. It was clearly scratched before it was put into the box. So it was mailed with knowledge of damage to it. They were probably hoping it would be overlooked, but not for that price. If the new one arrives undamaged I'll change my review to 5 star. It is a nice table for our needs. We use it in an RV.

Overall, I am satisfied with the desk. It’s perfect size for my small apartment. The only bad thing is the desk came damaged. Seems to be a trend with the seller. I wish they would take these reviews and improve their packaging.

What can I say about this desk? Simply put, the only thing that was accurate as advertised was that I ordered a desk and received a desk, and the color.Upon delivery, several parts of the wood were severely cracked, and one piece that kept a leg in place had fallen off. The finish on the surface also looked subpar.Really, I only wanted a simple surface to temporarily keep my laptop on, so it may serve its purpose unless I immediately buy something new or better. If I had spent a dollar more on this then maybe I would have gotten a refund. This sad little POS isn't even worth the trouble. Honestly, I would rather dispose of this rather than return it just to make sure that no one else has to deal with this garbage.
