AlphasonAW12362-W,Albany French Walnut effect work centre,Walnut,870x1000x470mm

What is great about this desk: It is very good value and it looks nice when built. It is an excellent size and is well designed for a computer desk/workstation. There is enough room on the desk surface for a student to use it as a writing surface. The desk fits together solidly and well, even when using a screwdriver which has seen better days... The instructions are good and it took me about 3 hours to put it together (with some help from my 11 year old daughter). I am confident that it will last. The drawer is solid and will not fall apart (although it has the usual flat pack flimsy base, so can't take really heavy objects). It is better quality than most other flat packs I have built before.What is not so good: several pieces of wood were damaged at the corners on arrival. There was also a very visible scratch on the surface of the desk. I needed this desk up and built so did not contact the seller about the damage, but in other circumstances I might well have rejected the box, since the damage was all in quite obvious places and rather spoils the overall look.Also, the strong metal sliding mechanism for the keyboard was (surprisingly) bent out of shape and, as a result, the keyboard holder slides out at an upwards angle. I don't really care about this because we are unlikely to use that function.So, overall, I am happy with the desk as a product but not really with the particular one that we were sent. Given the number of different damage issues in our pack, I suspect others will have similar problems.

Perfect for what I wanted. Lots of parts to put together with typical flatpack instructions which in places were not clear but easy to resolve when it becomes apparent the door is on upside-down. The cupboard I think could do with a shelf in it and a hold in the back would be useful to route the cables through. But overall chuffed with it.

I purchased this as I am now working from home, didn't want anything too big, I use 2 screens with a keyboard, draw is a little small in depth, instructions were ok to follow but took approximately an hour and a half to put together, 2 people, but you have to be adept at following instructions and reading between the lines, also put it together as close to it's final destination as possible. Box had some damage but it was well packed so no damage to desk.

This desk is great, it took some putting together but if you follow the instructions to the letter, it all becomes very easy after putting a number of components together. Very happy with the desk, but only gave it 4 stars because of the totally rubbish delivery service that delivered my desk to a house down the street,....(without even knocking on my door) then posted the card to say he had tried to deliver the product through a different house on the street. I eventually got the desk from the house it was delivered to,....but what a rigmarroll.

Solid and sturdy. It's a shame the right top draw is so small you can't get much in it and the right hand cupboard has no shelf. Other than that it's A good desk. Came complete all parts there.

Blooming hard work to put together - mind you it says it needs two people and I did it all by myself. However, it is very nice and I am very happy with the finished product. One little gripe, I don't think that I will use the drawer or cupboard much as they are both quite small. I have used the shelf under the desktop to keep the computer's UPS out of the way and the top shelf takes both monitors that I use and the speakers...

Arrived earlier than expected, good item for the price, could be a little difficult to assemble if you have no diy experience

Lots of room for studying and work, computer nicely fits inside the compartment. Easy to build following the detailed instructions.
