South ShoreSmall Computer Desk with Drawers, Pure Black

This desk is awesome! I'm a student, and I was weary of purchasing this because other reviews mentioned that it was made of poor quality wood, and that the cabinet door didn't correctly fit in the desk. I wouldn't listen to those reviews-- there are adjustment screws and you need to use them to align the door (something that the reviewers probably weren't aware of.) There is also a review claiming this desk is made of "cheap" material because they spilled water on it and the wood "swelled up" after five minutes. I wouldn't listen to that one either-- no wooden desk is designed to resist water, and after 5 minutes, it's bound to soak up the water and do some damage. Just be careful and use a water bottle with a lid instead of a glass. In regard to the build, my desk assembled quite easily. It has plenty of storage, and is made of quality, sturdy wood with a good finish. My only problem is that the paint is pretty dark. I ordered the chocolate color, and the product I received is quite a bit darker than advertised in the photo. The picture on the website was very brightly lit, so the desk appears to be a lighter shade than it really is. I posted a photo of my product that I believe more accurately represents the chocolate desk color. Overall, I think it was a solid purchase, and a desk that is quite frankly underrated.

I love this new desk! I needed something white with clean lines and this is just perfect! The assembly instructions were pretty easy to follow. Some of the parts weren't labeled but it was simple to figure out. They have a great chat helper on their website if you need it. There were a couple small little dings/scratches on some pieces but you wouldnt notice them once I put the whole thing together. There weren't any broken or missing pieces and that's all I cared about! It looks great and is pretty sturdy!

My only complaint with this purchase was the packaging it was sent in, one of the panels was damaged on arrival. Packaging issues aside, this is a nice desk. It took me about an hour and a half to assemble by myself, the instructions are very clear and simple. You'd have to not read the instructions at all to struggle putting this together. The color is nice, the material is press board but it isn't as flimsy as some other press board items I've purchased before. Doesn't wobble when you push on it or rock it. Drawers and door all fit perfectly fine. Overall worth the money I paid for it.

My mom surprised me and bought me this desk, and I was delighted! My sister and brother spent close to 4 hours putting it together as a surprise for me, and it was amazing family time! They really bonded over putting this desk together, and they were delighted that I loved it! I came up and kept making them move it to different areas in my room (my room is very big, so it was great to have something taking up a little bit of space!) The desk is on my fuzzy carpet, and it is still very sturdy. I got the white desk, and it has a super modern look, especially with the white leather and chrome chair I got it with. It really adds so much to my room, especially because once my brother was doing handy work in my room he offered to hang cute pictures up for me, so now my room looks even cuter than it did before! The drawers slide easily, and the top drawer is a perfect place to store my laptop. The other drawer is perfect for a stack of loose leaf paper and a scissors. The cabinate has 2 shelves in it, and they are great for storing pretty much everything. I'm an organized person by nature, and this keeps all my things so neat, I love it! Also, the wood seems like it's very high quality, and it doesn't really get scratched. I think that this was a great buy, and for all those moms who are looking for something nice to buy your daughter, I'm sure she will love this! And for all those people who enjoy spending quality time with their family's should make this into a family project! Just turn up the music and get to work! Thank you for selling us such a wonderful product!!

First of all, I wasn't expecting some amazing, top of the line desk. I was looking for something very affordable and would fit in a limited space. I chose this item because it had great reviews and fit these two requirements.I did have to built this on my own and yes, two people would make some of the process go a little more easily, but this was not my issue.(1) The directions do not clearly delineate the exact screws, pegs, and other items by any sort of label on the packaging. Some things could be sorted by the quantity, but there were others that were difficult to sort out or be sure were correct. Some of the boards are labeled, but not all. Thankfully MOST of these are clear from the pictures.(2) This desk is entirely particle board and cheap black laminate. I am okay with this. I realize that if I leave a cup with condensation, the water damage would be on me. I was not expecting several nicks, dents, and areas that look like they've already been exposed to the elements. This is really frustrating. The largest front drawer, for example, looks like the entire bottom edge has water damage. One of the desk top connections was also broken away and I had to leave that corner less secure. I had no way to fix this. I'm attaching some photos of these and other issues.(3) Parts were missing. Speaking of the drawers...I did not have enough of the correct size of the "locking screw nut" item I needed to ensure all four sides of the drawer interlocked tightly. You also need these items for the desk, but those are slightly larger in size. You need 8 more of the smaller ones for the drawers, and I was only given four. I had to nail the back panel of the drawer together and use gorilla wood glue to secure the front flange to the sides.The damage to the desk did not seem to come from careless shipping. The box and packaging looked to be in good condition and showed no water damage.There is not excuse for the missing (and quite necessary) parts.I hope this desk lasts through the holidays where I will replace it with one that is better.I have never been so frustrated or disappointed in a piece of furniture that I've purchased.(I also purchased a complimentary small side cabinet/printer table. I haven't opened it because I am afraid I will have to deal with the same issues.) I am also not wasting my time or money to ship it back.Perhaps when fire season has passed, I will have a bonfire with this hunk of junk!

Bought This desk for my son and he loves it! There were a couple of times when I had difficulty during assembly but once we did one side the other side was easier. Nice and sturdy!

I struggle with the most basic assembly required items, but this was pretty easy to follow instructions. It did take me an hour from start to finish, so I imagine anyone who is handy at all could probably do it in less. Sturdy. But I agree with a few other comments that any smudges and stains show up easily and are hard to remove. The back panel was not long enough to completely cover the shelving section.

I got this for under $90, needing something to fit in a very small space. It is a really nice desk for the price. Keep in mind, it is chipboard so it's truly nothing amazing (and really heavy), but it came well packaged and was quite easy to get together - except for one piece near the end. I really like the little door, too. Decent sized desktop. Nice and clean looking. I would buy this again...fit the budget and the small space!

I was surprised how well the desk is made, especially at this price point. A lot of furniture manufacturers cut corners on the drawers, it's not the case here, they are solid just as the rest of the desk. Assembly instructions are easy to read and it's fairly easy to put it together. All parts are numbered, however, most of them have the part number printed on the unfinished edges and some are hard to read. Everything was included (except tools which they state in description)and they include extra screws just in case. There is one part that could be confusing when you look at it you might think that with the pre-drill holes you need to insert metal bolts but the manual shows that you don't, so follow the manual and you'll be OK.Once assembled it is very sturdy, doesn't wobble and looks beautiful! One thing I have noticed is that it may not be the perfect desk for tall people. I'm 178 and when sitting at the desk there is a quarter of an inch space between my legs and the bottom edge of the drawer. The distance from the bottom edge of the drawer to the floor is about 24 1/4 inches in case someone wants to know.Although it can be assembled by one person you might need help moving the package around your house because it is heavy.All in I'm very happy with my purchase and the quality, design and look exceeded my expectations.

It was a gift,as far as I know it is awesome.A nice solid piece of furniture
