Review on Teraves Reversible L Shaped Desk With Shelves Round Corner Computer Desk Gaming Table Workstation For Home Office by Krista Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Thoughtfully designed and built well

I purchased this desk as I required more surface area for my newfound from-home work duties, and landed on this one due to its overall favorable reviews. I had some concern that the desk may arrive damaged or with missing pieces, but everything was present, marked accordingly, and well-organized.Overall, I greatly enjoy this desk. It feels solid, and it's clear they didn't use cheap particle boards. The finish looks great, has a nice, smooth texture, and feels durable. The frame feels very stable, and in general this desk seems to have been thoughtfully designed and constructed.A note about the included PC board: It's easy to build and does what is advertised, but it's a little on the small side. My PC is a pretty standard custom-build computer in a mid-sized tower, but it just barely fit on the board width-wise, and sticks out a little bit on both sides length-wise. It still works fine, and, more importantly, keeps my PC off the carpet, but still worth noting.Some advice for purchasers:1) Having a second person to help build the desk is recommended, but it is not impossible to build this alone (I did).2) Take your time to layout all of the pieces, in numbered order, and ensure that everything is present. Build the desk in the room it's meant to be in.3) Decide what orientation you want the desk to be in before you start building. There are two ways to build the desk, so make sure you know how you want the desk to be set up in your room.4) For every step, secure every screw *before* you tighten them, to ensure you did it correctly, and that every piece is straight. Once that's done, tighten the screws one at a time.5) Have a vacuum and/or duster ready. There's a lot of Styrofoam in the box, and it's bound to get on the floor and be stuck to various sections of the desk.Some feedback for the company:1) While the desk generally felt like it was well-packed into the box, it looks like there are a series of micro-scratches on the surface of the desk. They don't affect structural integrity and aren't really noticeable via touch, but they are still there.2) I understand the numbered stickers are vital to mark the individual pieces accordingly, but they're very difficult to remove and leave a sticky residue behind.3) There's a lot of plastic being used to wrap some of the individual pieces. Two things about this: I feel like using paper to wrap these pieces would be better, and about 1/3 of the pieces weren't wrapped at all, negating the purpose a tad.
