Furinno GO GREEN Desk, 31.5" Wide Gaming Desk with 2 Side Shelves and Storage Bins, Computer Desk, Office Desk for Home Office, Study Room, Dorm, Bedroom, Black

Let me start off with some background. My wife adopted a little girl which meant we were losing the full use of second bedroom of our two bedroom apartment. This was traditionally our shared office space/junk room. With the repurposing of that room, we got rid of our desks and had to integrate our workspace into the living room. My wife got a nice ikea desk but I decided to go deskless and just use a lap tray for my laptop. This didn't last long. I needed a place for stationary and to serve as my at-home base of operations. The only space not dedicated to baby stuff was a small section beside our couch where our end tables had been relegated. I was glad to see this desk fit that space perfectly. Pros: Cheap. This desk was not only cheaper than the alternatives at target and wal-mart, but the rounded shelves gave it a nicer look. Not to mention, it was two fewer sharp corners in an increasingly baby proofed home. Easy assembly. If you've put together anything from ikea, this should pose no challenge. Cons: Pieces aren't very well labeled, but there are so few you shouldn't really need the labels. I like the fact that I don't have big ugly letter stickers on each piece. The piece letter is stenciled onto the unfinished edge but it isn't very clear. You're better off just comparing the pieces to the instructions. Also, the finish was worn off of the edge of my shelves when they arrived. I would complain, but the desk was super cheap and I just touched up the worn spots with a sharpie, end of crisis. Regarding other complaints: 1. Screw holes not fully drilled - right, because it is particle board. Even without the pre-drilled holes screws work into the "wood" easily, if the holes were drilled too deeply, the screws wouldn't take. I found the whole screw situation pretty well done. The whole unit comes together using a series of dowels, cam locking bolts and a few screws. 2. Desk is wobbly on carpet - I misunderstood this at first. When I read that people found the desk wobbly I thought they were referring to the construction of the desk itself. After assembly, I noted how solid it felt. When I put it on the carpet, however, I realized what people meant. On the carpet, it sometimes appears as though the whole thing might tip over. However, this is because it is so narrow relative to its height. Mine stabilized once I put things onto it and had it pushed up against the side of the couch. If you have it against a wall, just anchor it. If you are using it on a hard surface, it won't even need that. 3. Space - the dimensions are clearly listed. The desktop comfortably fits a 19" laptop, mouse, a desk lamp and space to charge up my phone. If you are unsure, measure your stuff and see if it will fit before ordering. I never expected to get a super expensive desk on the cheap. I wanted something that fit into a small space within some very specific dimensions (which this did). If it wobbled, I stabilized it. If something didn't fit, I made it fit. If there was a scuff, I touched it up. For $50 I expected exactly what was described, not a turnkey solution in a box. The desk isn't perfect. But I think it is still worth the $50 depending upon your needs.

I’m very happy with this desk. The quality is excellent for the price, it’s sturdy, stable, and super easy to assemble,I finished in less than an hour following the instructions. The size is perfect for small spaces, yet it still offers great functionality. What I love the most are the two small drawers for storing little items and the side shelves, which are perfect for books or decorations. The black and gray design looks modern and matches with everything. I use it as a laptop desk and also for studying, and honestly, it has exceeded my expectations. I 100% recommend it if you’re looking for a stylish, functional, and affordable desk. Totally worth it!

(Edit: Just to clarify, my review is for the "Simplistic Study Table" by Furinno in the color "espresso". It has no side shelf.) My first impression is that it is not too difficult to build and that it seems sufficiently sturdy for light tasks and weight. However, my package did not arrive with an instruction manual - which I did not end up needing, but which would have helped a bit. One star off for that. Here's a quick summary of how to make it: - The large boards that will form the sides of the desk have holes where the screws should go and attach to the sides of the thin boards (one near the bottom at the backside and one at the top in the middle, the latter of which will help support the top of the desk) - At the top of each of the large boards, there are 4 holes in a line. The middle 2 on each will house a wooden peg. - On the inner side of the large boards, there's a big circular hole near the top. Insert the circular metal pieces (called a cam-lock nut) into each one, taking care that the hole on the piece is also facing upwards towards the hole in the board and that the cross where a screwdriver should fit is facing outwards where the piece is being inserted. As described on the Amazon page video, there's a little arrow on the circular piece that should be facing in the same direction as the hole in the top of the board where it looks like a screw can be inserted. Do this for both large boards. - There are 4 large screws included and they don't look like normal screws, they're very long and they have a thicker part in the middle to stop them after being screwed in a certain amount. These are called a cam-lock screw (as detailed in the Amazon page video). The largest board / the top-most board of the desk has 4 holes on the left and right sides of its bottom. Insert these cam-lock screws onto the top and bottom holes on both the left and rights sides and screw them in until they are secure and stopped by the thick center of the screw. - Line up the screws sticking out of the top board of the desk with the holes on top of each large board that will make up the sides and slide them in. The wooden pegs sticking out of the large boards should also insert into the middle holes on the left and right sides of the top board. Push down hard on the top board until the top of the desk is snug with the sides. - Take another look at the cam-lock nuts (the circular metal pieces). Take the screwdriver and turn each nut to the right as much as possible, until it feels like the nut cannot be moved any further. -Enjoy. There were also some sharp pieces included that look like tacks that I couldn't figure out what to do with them. Hopefully they're not important? The desk works fine for me even without them. I got this desk in the "espresso" color and it looks very elegant, albeit simple. I own Furinno shelves as well and they have been a good value for the price. Their products have worked well for me and I would recommend them for anyone who needs furniture on a budget.

Petit joli et pratique très bien pour petits espaces

Firstly, NOWHERE it was mentioned that assembly hardware (screws, dowels, etc) would NOT be given. In the assembly manual, the sizes of the required hardware is not mentioned. Therefore, it is so difficult to find the right hardware. The holes for the nail bed at the bottom were not present which caused the part to get damaged. It cost me another 30€ to find the parts. So overall, waste of money. Would not recommend.

Space saver.. good for light thing.. drawer is not made of wood..

This Desk Does Deserve 4 & Half Stars But Decided To Give 5 Due To Not Able To Give 4 & Half. Reason Why Because In 360 Viewing It Shows Or Makes It Look Like It's Got A Back Panel At Top & Bottom Panel Is Same Color See Screen & Image Taken Which Isn't An Issue If Against A Wall But Unfortunately Mine Isn't. Anyway Enough Knit Picking. I'm Very Happy With This Desk Due To Only Ordering Has A Add-On For More Desk Top Space & Only Having A Small Space The Dimensions Are Perfect. To Use As A Computer Desk Or Your Main Desk I Would Advise Against Not Much Space & For A Tower Unit On Bottom Shelf Isn't Suitable For A Large Tower Unit. The Tower Unit I Have Is A Dell Optiplex 390 sff & I've Measured & Even Been Small The Unit Fits Perfectly But I'd Be Tripping Over Cables They Stick Way Out. Also I've Added Screen Shots Of Description Due To A Review Stating They Didn't Know That The Drawers Are Fabric I Don't Know If This Info Was Added After Review Was Listed. Has One Of My Images Show An Adult Chair Isn't Small Enough To Fit Under Desk Especially If Chair Is Wider Than 47.5cms. So Perfect For An Add-On Desk Or Laptop & Even For A Child's First Desk Since Drawers Are Fabric They Won't Trap Their Fingers & Their Chair Could Be Small Enough To Fit Under.

Es bastante básico y minimalista, lo cual lo hace una pieza funcional
