Tvilum 4-Drawer Black Woodgrain Study Desk - Modern Home Office Desk for Work & Study, Perfect for Small Spaces & Dorm Rooms

Purchased for my daughter us use in her college apartment. IT took about 20 minutes to assemble , she loves it and uses it everyday.Took a couple of hours to assemble but it is good quality for the price Functional.I should begin by saying that I think I can count the number of times on one hand that I have left a written review for a product. The pros are that when built it is sturdy, has plenty of legroom, the drawers glide easily, and it’s perfect for a small space.The cons: I read how easily a product can be put together by whether my smart, savvy 14-year-old who is awesome at Legos can put it together. Let’s just say, it wasn’t more than five minutes before he realized there was no way he was going to be able to get this done. These might be the worst instructions I have ever read for a piece of furniture, and I build my own out of whole lumber. I must’ve put pieces on backwards 6 million times, and it takes lots of access spatial reasoning to figure out what to do. Just at that point when you think that the bolts that they’ve provided you are too short, consider flipping the piece over, which you would know from reading the directions. They also don’t indicate shaded or non-shaded side to let you know which side the laminate should be facing.

Just at that point when you think that the bolts that they’ve provided you are too short, consider flipping the piece over, which you wouldn’t know from reading the directions. They also don’t indicate shaded or non-shaded side to let you know which side the laminate should be facing. It also came damaged, but most of the damage is in places that you don’t see, and the one that you can see, it doesn’t really matter to me because it is for said 14-year-old. I’m giving it three stars because when it is finally built it’s a fine piece of furniture. But anyone trying to compare this to an IKEA build, must’ve just gotten lucky when they put pieces together. Not a great instruction manual, Denmark.Reading the other reviews i was like it can’t be that hard to put together. Okay i was horribly wrong, the paper instructions are hot garbage. Download the app and scan the thing and do it that way. In the end it’s smaller than i thought but i didn’t measure so that’s on me oh and the drawers come out halfway so you can’t see what’s in the back and the drawers are much smaller than i thought as well. But i like it it works for me.Now idk why everyone is hating this desk. It’s nice. It’s great especially since I’m starting school back up soon. Yes there are a few nicks but either a it was the factory, delivery, or the person who builds it fault. B. It’s nice to do work on so no problem there. In summary other then the few nicks it’s an excellent desk. They are barely noticeable and had no problem (didn’t need replacement pieces and it all fits. Just habe to play around like so it lines up good is all). And I help build things in my college major so I know how these things go in a way. Just please con oder This desk. I had like 1 Nick that might wem my fault moving it and had like 2 tiny nicks that I can’t even see anymore bc of the shelves. So yes the price is totally worth getting this desk. Everyone wants a new desk now and this works great especially if you look at IKEA they are sold out. This desk is about the same price o would’ve paid at IKEA so yeah. I would recommend this desk. Just because a few nicks that are barely noticeable doesn’t mean 1 Star. I’m giving it 5 Because like a nick really you hate it just because of a tiny nick. I get it if it’s damaged and need a new one but a tiny nick. Really. I know this is long but it’s just helping you to not believe every review you see with 1 nick making it 1 Star. It’s worth it otherwise. Starting school and needed more room for projects and school work and it’s totally worth it for the space. Theres enough room for all my school supplies plus some more room. (In the shelves) I have it set to the first so they don’t open as much but they still open enough for me) and I habe 4 books on the little shelf and they are totally fine. So please this desk is totally worth it since there are no other desks.Make sure you read the package before assemblingHonestly a pretty solid desk thats sturdy and affordable 8/10.Measurements: 43¼W x 29½H x 19DWidth x Height x DepthBE PREPARED1.)
