Review by Lulu, 2010-08-23

The workstation is okay for the money, but I was disappointed with the plastic cams that is used to assembly it with. If you are not careful they would tear up with the phillip screw driver and then you would have to use a flat screw driver. The fear I had that the slot will tear and then you would not be able to use that cam. I have always had metal cam in the past. You must make sure that the space that you assembly is the final placement if not, it will not make the move. It is very heavy when it arrives, so be very careful because the material damage easily.

I received the desk via UPS, within a reasonable time frame from ordering it - although, as the previous poster had mentioned what was left of the cardboard box was held together with tape and shrink-wrap, also be prepared as it is a two man lift at over 70 lbs. I also noticed the desk had several nicks and scratches present - most likely from its time being shipped.

Assembly of the desk was fairly straight forward (any veteran furniture assembler, should have no problem with initial prep and reading the instructions) and towards the end becomes a two person project. I would recommend assembling it in place (where you want it - thus clean up/out the location prior to putting it together). Also, cleaning up afterwards from all the damaged Styrofoam which will be everywhere and on everything, after taking out all the pieces. I should note - that you will have two additional pieces of particle board (triangle shaped - at least I did), which with some thought could be used for an additional project (i.e. corner shelf).

I did have some issue with squaring up the desk - holes not aligning with the hardware and making corners match. I also had left over pieces - misc. screws, pegs, locking hardware, etc.

Overall, I am satisfied with my selection and purchase. The desk has plenty of surface space without feeling overly crowded and the small hutch has plenty of room for a monitor and any knick-knacks one could park next to it (i.e. small pictures frames, bills, figurines).

Box was completely ripped, it was more like pieces of cardboard held together with a whole role of tape. The desk itself was difficult to put together by yourself, but I'm not the most mechanically inclined.

However it is exactly what I was looking for, in size, price, and shape. It's in a back room so I don't care about appearance although it doesn't look bad.

Oh I'd put it together in whatever room you want it in....moving it is gonna be impossible.
