Walnut Wood Desk with Drawer, 42.5" Mid Century Modern Writing Desk

The desk looks nice and holds up well and sturdy. To all the old people in the reviews complaining about misaligned pieces or pieces that broke during installation, that’s simply user error. This isn’t a “real” wood desk, it’s particle board like furniture you’d find at ikea. The only real wood things being the legs. Because of this it is prone to breaking if you are too rough or careless with it during installation. Take caution when using power tools/ratchets and take your time during installation. Don’t install anything too tight or you can break the particle board and make it unstable. It took me an hour and a half to install the right way. If you want a real wood desk you can expect to pay way more than a couple hundred dollars. This isn’t the 1950’s anymore, people! Brand new wood furniture costs a lot of money!! This is a nice and stylish desk for people on a budget that can’t afford the real mid century furniture that costs many hundreds to thousands of dollars. I highly recommend, do not let the bad reviews of people who broke their desk sway you from buying, they didn’t know what they were doing. Follow the instructions carefully, be patient, be gentle, and you have your self a nice desk. Overall I am happy with this purchase, it’s worth it.

Perfect size for a smaller area. The finish is pretty, It receive lots of compliments. The assembly was very easy. The desk is sturdy and the drawer is a good size. There are no built in dividers. It is some what awkward to open the drawer since they is no handle, but it's not that big of deal. I love the look of the desk and the convenience of the open area next to thecdrawer it helps keep the clutter tucked away. I'm pleased with this purchase.

The printed instructions were just ok - but the video was helpful. The assembly was easy but a couple of the holes for joining the pieces were slightly off which necessitated a bit of forcing. Still, the assembly went well and the desk is sturdy and attractive. Were it not for the slight misalignment of the joining holes, I would have given it a 5.

This is the perfect mid century modern desk! I love it. It's not the most sturdiest given the price and MDF/particle wood, but it works as intended. For the price, it's amazing and it looks great!

So cute- perfect for anywhere - easy to put together - love it

I purchased this desk from Amazon back in July, enticed by its sleek design and seemingly sturdy construction. However, after several months of use, I'm disheartened to report that my experience with this desk has been less than satisfactory. First and foremost, the most glaring issue I encountered with this desk is its lack of durability. Within a short period of time, two of the desk legs have completely detached, leaving me in a precarious situation. Despite my attempts to salvage it with wood glue and a drill, the structural integrity of the desk remains compromised. Currently, it's being propped up by stacks of books, which is far from an ideal solution. While the desk's aesthetic appeal initially drew me in, it's clear that looks can be deceiving. The overall design is indeed pleasing to the eye, but it's disappointing that the manufacturer didn't prioritize durability and sturdiness during production. It's evident that corners were cut in terms of materials and construction, resulting in a product that falls short in terms of longevity. On a more positive note, when the desk was intact, it served its purpose adequately. It provided sufficient workspace for my needs and fit well within my home office setup. However, the constant fear of it collapsing under even minimal weight now looms over every task I undertake at the desk. In conclusion, while this desk may appear attractive on the surface, its lack of durability ultimately renders it unfit for long-term use. If you're in the market for a desk, I would advise looking elsewhere for a higher quality option that will withstand the rigors of daily use.

The product arrived very well packaged and was easy to assemble. The parts and screws were neatly separated into individual bags with letters, making the process simple and organized. The manual was clear and accurate. The piece itself is beautiful, flawless, and exceeded my expectations. I’m really happy with this purchase—congratulations to the seller for such excellent quality and service!

It looks nice, the desk top is all manufactured wood, not solid, but it still looks pretty good. My only issue with the desk was that it was very difficult to assemble, the screws had a very hard time going in easily to the threaded holes and would get stuck easily if they were not perfectly aligned. Luckily I had an electric screwdriver or else I would have got stuck with screws stuck in the holes or not fully screwed in.
