The desk was pretty easy to assemble, it took me an afternoon. Most of the parts were intact, except for one piece that was cracked in half. I had to call the company and they sent a replacement part out, for free, the next day (it took about 5 days to receive it though). Some of the parts were also smushed on the coroners.

Once assembled, it looked really good. I had to move it to another part of the room, so my sister and I moved it and the whole alignment of the cabinet doors was thrown off. It took some disassembly to get it realigned again, but it still didn't look 100%. Also there were tiny little knicks on the door where the paint had chipped off (that could have been my fault for propping it up against a bookshelf during construction) but the fact that it chips so easily may be an issue.

Other than those issues, the desk looks really good, functions well, and I love the fact that those doors hide my office.

This is easy enough to assemble with an electric screw driver(took me less than 3 hours by myself), looks nice, and seems to be made well enough for laminate furniture. If you have trouble with the door lining up, level the unit via the leveling/adjustable feet. This completely fixed the problem for me. There is a slight 1/8" gap between the doors. I'm not sure if this is for ventilation or a defect. Not noticeable enough for me to care. There is a large cut out area in the backing for where the tower would sit. I use this desk for my laptop and external 21" monitor, and so I need to find some sort of shelf to make that tower space usable. The top shelf is adjustable and fits my laptop well. I do wish the panels on the front were actually a bit sturdier instead of thick cardboard. You can't tell unless you feel them, but I don't know about durability. This was packaged well for shipping. One of the boards that fits on the top to stop the doors was split where the factory drilled a hole for one of the screws. It doesn't show or have any support issues, and still functions fine for its purpose, so I don't care.

I ordered this and it came in the two week time frame they said it would. I put things together ALL the time, and I found the instructions to be the most detailed out of anything (furniture-wise) that I have assembled. The only thing is that there are a lot of parts, and although there are only 20 steps, there may be two to three parts per step. It is not the highest quality, but it is very nice looking and worth the price. My only complaint is that the doors have three hinges, and the middle hinges are right on the path of the keyboard when it is time to assemble the doors. You are going to have to be resourceful and figure how to screw them on. But, other than that, it really is a good looking piece, definitely recommend it. Hides all my computer junk perfectly!

This is an decent piece of furniture for the price. Assembly instructions were a little confusing but overall not a bad setup. Cabinet looks good and is laid out nicely, but a little flimsy and the laminate is cheap. Hardware is good quality and it assembles tightly. If you're looking for a cheap computer cabinet, this works nicely. Just don't expect to much.

I love this desk!I got it as a gift and was so thrilled !It very beautifull and love that you can close everything up inside.I have an xbox 360 on the top shelf( the cords slip right through the back borads without anyone noticing so dont cut an extra hole)I have 22" screen all in one gateway on the main desk portion and fits perfect as if they were made for each other(i dont have a tower as its an all in one comp)and i have a cannon all in one wireless printer on the bottom shelf and thats fits nicely as well.keeps it looking clean with less wires everywhere.was easy to assemble took me3 days but it was just me with no help lol i had troubles with the middle hinges of the doors due to the fact the draw and shelf are in the way but it up and great.I also have a 32"inch flat screen Tv on the top of this desk and it looks great nice and clean love it def recommend it buy it you wont be sorry get someone to help you put it togther though

My husband and I ordered this about a week ago. Assembly was not difficult except that the bottom file holder was installed incorrectly due to the pre drilled holes being incorrect. It also wobbles a lot, but that is what you get for solid particle board.

All in all, its a nice addition to our living room and we can close it up when company comes over.

EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED. Really does take 2 to assemble,but not difficult.
For the $$, it is totally what I wanted and exactly has described!

Arrived about a week before the expected delivery date. Everything was great and I had put most of it together before realizing that one of the finishing pieces for the front was broken in half. Contacted the company and they're going to send me a new one. Still, it was a steal at this price and I'm happy with the purchase.

I received my computer armoire and I was quite surprised by the box (which is about 6 feet long and flat! It's in quite a few pieces and did take approximately 2 1/2 hours to put together! But It really is a nice piece of furniture and was just as I expected it would be like. The cost is very economical and I do think the price is so low, that if they sold it assembled they could easily get a lot more money for it! Appears to be very durable, quite a nice addition to my living space. I am very happy with my purchase!
