Gorgeous mid century modern style desk
We have this desk in our vacation home "Villa Paradiso" rental in Sarasota for 2 1/2 years now. It's perfect for the mid-century modern style and theme of the house and is holding up beautifully. High quality and was not difficult to assemble.

Great small desk
Super cute and very easy build! The top comes assembled so you just screw in the legs. Love the color and style of this desk. The top came with a small blemish but it doesn’t bother us, something that can be easily covered with a candle or laptop. Love the color of the desk, very sturdy and great match for the chair we also got on Amazon. Good buy! Arrived very quick!

Great quality, easy to assemble, scratch resistant
The desks arrived in excellent condition. The style is perfect; mid century modern and a great color that can pull anything on the room together. They were easy to assemble. I have three kids (5, 9, and 12) and one of my kids got what appeared to be green marker on the desk. I was able to get it out but had to do significant scrubbing. I was shocked that this desk didn't get scratched at all. My kids did manage to sing the front edge a bit with our old chairs that had handles. The handles were at the exact right height that it gouged the top edge of the desk. I used a minwax golden oak blend-fil pencil and it worked perfectly. It took the color well and looks great.

Clean, sleek and sturdy
I have to say, this was the easiest piece of furniture I have ever had to assemble, it was amazing. It is a very sturdy, sleek looking piece, with just kind of that clean natural look to it which I like. I use it in my bedroom as a makeup vanity and it is perfect for that. It does just have the one drawer (which sticks a little bit when closed all the way but not a huge deal to me), so if you need more storage than that this is not the vanity/desk for you. Since I do use it for makeup I have a mat to put over the center of the desk to protect it a little bit. When I went to clean the makeup off under it, I noticed the mat made textured imprints into the desk and also stained it a little with my makeup, which did not come off no matter what cleaning agent I used. So just beware if you are putting a mat down or using it for makeup it might stain the desk or make an imprint. It is not a huge deal for me as this will always be covered. Overall I think this is a cute sturdy desk, perfect for what I want to use it for, but maybe not worth that high of a price since the surface did easily get damaged.

Great little desk. Love it. Would buy again.
This desk is a perfect desk for my imac. Fits a small space and is very sturdy and SUPER easy to put together. The drawer is nice and large enough. Very happy with the purchase. It has been almost a week since I got it and the smell is pretty bad, nauseating and I wish I had placed it outside for a few days to air out, but I needed to set up shop. I did not see any smudges or fingerprints as other reviewers have noted, but maybe I was lucky? This desk is a great buy. I dont usually like mid century modern furniture but this is very cute and can fit any aesthetic. The top of the desk is a little textured and not glossy or super smooth, which I am fine with, but if writting on a sheet using a pencil or ballpoint you will see the texture in your writting, have to use something under the pages to prevent texture transfer, as it where. All in all a great buy.

Cute and functional!
Love this desk! We are renovating the room and we found nightstands to match this one, and without hurting our pockets too much. It’s just as pictured and we love it! Only took less than an hour to put together.

Stylish, cute, and great for small spaces
I live in a studio and when our work went remote due to Covid, I thought great... Now I have to get a desk and add more furniture in my 500 sq ft apartment. I love interior decorating and keeping a theme so I was being very picky to look for the perfect desk. Saw this and had to order! It's honestly the perfect size for my monitor and laptop with some room for keyboard and mouse. I could have gone with a bigger sized desk now that I've used it for 3+ months. But I really love the design and thinks its way better than other bulk, industrial looking desks. Super easy to assemble, true to size, sturdy, can holds its weight. One thing I would call out is that it stains SO EASY. I have these weird little brown spots on the surface where I have no idea came from. I have a coffee stain that will not come off after using everything.. I also have a little mark where I use my keyboard to hide... Was removing nail polish from my nails on the desk and the used cotton ball messed up the desk. Wish it was painted over with some kind of waterproof or stainproof layer. If they sold a longer desk in the same design, I would probably order it to replace my current one.

This product is absolutely not worth the money. Can’t believe they designed the drawers without a rail systems. The drawers don’t even align flush with with the table when they’re shut; the outer sides of the drawers slide in further than the inner sides. Just terrible design. When they’re pulled out, they tip down. Plus the handles don’t match the base legs. The legs have a mustard looking colour. Definitely deceiving in the add. Don’t waste your money. I am very disappointed in the fact that amazon has this product listed. Wish I had known before assembling it. ( Refer to the pictures I posted)

My new home office desk. Like the look, size and shape. Better quality than expected & sturdy. Drawer is roomy. Fits any decor. Good to have another pair of hands to help assemble, parts fit together well. Good value for money.

1) Not sturdy.. Searching for a perfect place for your system, well this is not the right pick.... It shakes... the bolts are loose... and I had to get fastening tool to tighten the screws. They only gave the bolts & screws but not the tool to tighten it up. 2) In india we can get a better product at a local store under 3500-4500... the skin of the table edges keeps peeling... they just glued it... and you can even see the glue stuck here and there on the table itself 3) If you are using office chair stay away cause the office chair can't go under it ultimately taking the space... so I had to move my chair to the hall after my work to get enough space. 3) Delivery took nearly a month. To sum it up: This is the huge purchasing mistake which I regret.. I spent 5600 +250 (Delivery charge) +(the pain from Deliveryto assembling the set) and its not even worth for 4000 rupees So if you are from India... guys we can get better product from the market just stay away from these guys. Don't get from Intl sellers... just waste of money on the shipment itself... and product is not worth both in quality wise as well as ur time... Simply waste

I love the mid-century modern design of the colours and style. It came very quickly and was super easy to put together. Very sturdy! Also, can I just say I LOVED the instructions - they were very entertaining... company's marketer needs a promotion. Highly recommended!
