Review on Modern Oak+White Computer Desk With Thick Tabletop For Home Office, Writing, And Gaming - NSdirect 63 Workstation With Sturdy Steel Legs And Stylish Finish by Epickson Palma

I spent a lot of time reading reviews on various desks and all the desks I was considering had some complaints about damage in shipping. After wits end of not finding anything that was risk free. I decided to take a chance and bought two of these desks. Shipping was fast. Had them at my door within two days. I carefully unpacked both with consideration that they may have to be shipped back in case of shipping damage. With the first unpacked box, the desktop showed some scuff marks and marring caused from the Styrofoam packing rubbing against the desktop finish. Also, the table legs come packaged with some nylon shipping strap to keep the legs together. During shipping the legs rubbed together causing some of the legs to be scratched. The desk was complete and one extra screw was included for each size screw.Now on to the second desk. This one was packaged better and had no flaws. The table legs were wrapped separately, and the tabletop edge has packing separating it from the Styrofoam packing. Now my advice is to take you time putting these together. The table legs are not machined well and has a sloppy fit and finish. It can be a challenge to get the screws to line up straight. I also had to use a rubber mallet to get the bottom plastic leg covers in place. The tabletop is very heavy and that pleased me very much. The gauge of metal used in the legs is good. They should have added a back bar for more stability. Still the desk is very stable. The finish is light and easy to scratch. It’s also showing fingerprints like crazy. It’s a good functioning desk but you’re going to need to treat it with care. I ended up ordering a desk to protect some of the desktop. I used some big Velcro straps from Walmart to place the two desks in a L shape and am pleased with the results. Having a black furniture repair pen would be handy if you’re going to own this desk.
