Review on Modway Stasis Office Desk White by Becky Williams

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great table BUT. suitable for home office furniture

I saw this table at a friend's house and fell in love with it immediately, but she warned me that you will have a love-hate relationship with it. I liked how simple and neat it looked so I bought it anyway. The problem with this table is that it is so simple and clean that you expect perfection and the table is far from perfect. First, prepare for the table to arrive in 4 shipments, so you'll have to wait for all 4 shipments to arrive to put it together. When I placed my order, it took about two weeks between the first and the last delivery. When it comes to customization, it's very simple. You can assemble a table in less than 10 minutes! Once you start picking up the pieces, all the problems come into play. I ended up replacing the first table because I noticed the top corners of the drawer almost looked warped. I kept wondering if I could live with that, but decided I couldn't, so I continued my exchange. The second table came and again the delivery time was extended a few days between the first and fourth package but not so bad this time, maybe 4 days difference but hey that's better than two weeks. ok so i went ahead and started installing drawers on the legs. When it comes to installation, as I said, it's very easy and not a lot of parts, but the screws that come with it are very cheap, so the 4 screws that connect the legs caused the glass to rip off at the end when I tightened them. As I pulled out the installation boxes, all the little bugs started killing me as I kept noticing more and more as I went along. In the box I noticed a deep crack inside. It didn't affect the look so I figured I could live with that and hopefully the crack didn't come out over time. Further up in the drawers you can see a lot of imperfections which are also driving me crazy (the original order was worse) but I've come this far and now I don't want to return the table. As I proceeded to install the drawers, I noticed that the holes in the base weren't carefully drilled and the hole was slightly obscured by the inside corner, so I used the Allen key provided and cleared the hole when a pile of debris fell onto my drawer . face and I got the cancer warning on the bottom of the box 🤦‍♂️ So if I have cancer in 10 years it could be from this table lol. When screwing in the bottom screws I also noticed small rust spots on the legs 🤦‍ ♂️ Luckily I have a bartender friend so this should help to remove it. If you're a perfectionist, this table will drive you crazy with all the cosmetic flaws for something that should be simple and clean. Note: Glass is very heavy. But I'm pretty strong so if you decide to buy this table you'll need 2 people to lift it once you attach the legs.

Pros
  • household and kitchen
Cons
  • For old
