Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid desk - you will need a drill

When it arrived I was quite surprised at how heavy the box was. When they say it's a real table, they're not kidding. It's pretty easy to put together, but the person or machine responsible for drilling the holes is a joke. There were a few spots on the table top where it looked like someone was trying to align a drill but didn't actually do it and moved to a different location. So there were about 3 places to attach the legs, but there weren't any holes. Luckily the desk is a simple thing and I knew where to put it. Since the table isn't cheap chipboard, I had to pull out a heavy-duty drill bit. I tried manually first, then wirelessly, but none of that worked. Follow the instructions if it says do not tighten the bolts until you have the center bar in place. Tighten the bottom nuts on the center rail first to make it easier for you. .After that I tightened everything with a drill press and everything was fine. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because of the ridiculous way you have to adjust. Unlike most desks where you can push and slide on either side to adjust this, you need to fully loosen 2 screws on each side with an Allen key. So you unscrew 4, slide, put all 4 back in while driving a heavy tabletop. If you have 2 adults you can probably do this with the table raised, but I was only by myself so I placed the table horizontally on the floor and counted how much from top to bottom, slid into place and started screwing in the screws . return. It saved me from trying to support the tabletop with my shoulder and keep my feet in the right place while fucking. husband for help. If I can figure it out, anyone can.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • No insurance
