Furinno Econ Multipurpose Home Office Computer Writing Desk, French Oak Grey

I work from home and needed a small desk the could fit in my apartment. This was perfect. The instructions weren’t hard to follow and I was able to assemble it by myself.The desk is a bit short/low. But that’s fine by me as I’m only 5’4. It’s not super heavy and the material it’s made from is cheap but that’s to be expected given the price.My only gripe is that there’s no holes in the back to put the wire from my devices through. I had to put everything under the back panel and use zip ties to get everything as neatly as possible together.Also, while putting together the part for the sliding drawer/keyboard holder that part was confusing as the rails weren’t marked with numbers but instead letters. I had to guess and hope that the rail I was screwing into place was the correct one. The illustration wasn’t much better as it didn’t have the right number of holes on the rails.But other than that, I had no issues. The desk is nice and will serve it’s intended purpose.

I made a desk!! This is my first time ever building anything so I was really worried about the outcome, but I'll just say for the price of this I'm surprised by how firm and sturdy it is. I'm using it now and I've knocked against it, leaned on it, tried to sway it with my leg and it doesn't budge at all. I'm sure if you tried moving and sliding this against the floor it would give somewhat though, so definitely set it up in the space you're planning to keep it and don't mess with it too much. As far as construction goes, this was very easy to set up the only hard part was when I needed someone to hold up parts but I decided foolishly to do this alone. Even still, I was able to do it but maybe tripled my time by doing that. The instructions were also easy to follow and for me personally, I think shouldn't be too difficult for anyone. Just read the directions carefully and before you start, identify what each piece is using the diagram. The hardest part was the keyboard panel so make sure you're reading thoroughly. I also tapped the parts with the wooden dowels with a hammer to really push them into each board, not sure if you should do that though (it isn't in the directions iirc) but I think it helped. There's enough space underneath for me to stretch out my legs (I'm 5'8) and I like the set up of the elevated shelf. I set my laptop up there, and put a drawing tablet inside the keyboard drawer. I've used the bin for cords and the storage on the right for some books and stuff. The little nook under the shelf is a nice spot for my mouse too! As far as looks go, none of the wood was stained or chipped anywhere and so far there are no rough edges. So far I've had no problems with this desk and for the price I'm very happy with it, even if it breaks down in 6 months for me it'd be worth it since I really needed a desk but didn't have a disposable $500 to afford a great one. At the moment, this is a great option.UPDATE: Still have the desk! Still firm and sturdy lol some of the paint has come off but that's normal wear and tear in 2 years. I've also moved it a few times from it's original place and nothing bad happened. Really recommend!UPDATE #2: It’s 2023~ Still have the desk! Still going strong!

This is a great desk when assembled. I'm using it as an electronics workbench and a soldering station. Works really well in tight spaces such as my tiny home office.That said, here are some of the things I ran into with pictures to back them up.1. The assembly instructions abruptly end at Step 10. All steps to attach the top surfaces and lock them are missing. If you are mechanically inclined and have assemble IKEA furniture before, you must be able to complete the rest without further instructions. Otherwise, you may end up getting stuck all the way at the end of the assembly.2. The horizontal members are attached to the vertical members using wood screws. I am not sure why the designers went for such a bad idea. Three things can happen as a consequence of this decision.One. The screws go into the particle board. If you do not provide adequate support while threading the screws in, you may end up destroying the particle board. I pre-drilled the screws in before I assembled the members together and this definitely helped to put the desk together without the help of a second person.Two. The fact that the vertical members are held in by the screws will make this table unsuitable on fluffy carpeted floors. As there is really no flat surface on such carpets, the desk will sway side to side by tiny amounts during its lifetime. This may cause the screw holes to enlarge in the wood, leading to the desk going rickety over timeThree. For the very same reason, this desk is not meant to be dragged on carpeted floors. Better thing would be to lift them for relocation, and then not move them too much once they are in place.But once done, this desk is a real life saver for tight spots and really looks great!

Perfect for my small bedroom which I turned into my office. Easy to assemble and love the grey color.
