VASAGLE Computer Desk, 55.1-Inch Wide Home Office Desk for Study, Writing Desk with 2 Shelves on Left or Right, Steel Frame, Industrial, Greige and Black ULWD55MB

Backstory and Overview: We had a "home office" but rarely worked in it. With COVID, all of a sudden we needed a full office at home. We had a hodgepodge of stuff but me and my husband both needed a full desk, plus his job requires him to sift through tubs of stuff often, so he needed extra room to do that. We had stuff covering our dining room table and on side tables in our living room. We decided to redo the office. We painted and we needed desks and a bookcase. We wanted them to match, but also didn't want to spend a ton. This was the only brand I could find near this price point that had so many matching options! We wound up buying: 2 corner desks: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KG67ZQ5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 bookcase: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074X7WT6D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And this straight desk. NOTE: This desk was wider than the corner desks, so when right next to each other, they don't line up nicely. We couldn't find the width measurement of the corner desks, so there wasn't a way to know this in advance. Assembly: Assembly was pretty good on all the desks! They provide one extra screw of every size, which is nice if you drop one. It even comes with a little screwdriver, but a regular sized one is easier to use. The hardware seemed nice-sized so we think this is going to hold up over time. The end result is nice and sturdy. The desks all look more expensive than they were! We like the wood look but in a more modern design. It's not clunky or ornate, but not too minimalist. If you buy other pieces from the brand, we were really happy that they all actually matched and they weren't off a shade or anything like that.

This desk is nice. Configurable shelves, adjustable feet. Reasonably light and very sturdy. When I saw the construction up close I was wary - it really doesn't seem like there is much to it, but this thing doesn't budge! One feature I really liked about it is how the wooden panels all have nylon anchors on the underside that the machine screws bite cleanly into. This is exactly how a locknut works and provided the anchors are firmly seated in the panels, should prove quite resistant to lateral force and vibration loosening the screws. People spoke of badly chipped corners... mine came shipped with these hard plastic covers on the corners and still one corner had the laminate ever so lightly peeled up. I used contact cement and now you'd never know there was any damage. Some things just aren't worth fussing over. Though I would be mad if my $150 desk was actually missing material. That said, the panels are actually really nice! The quality of the printing on the laminate is quite rich and it has a wonderful, textured finish with what seems to be a fairly thick, durable semi-gloss sheen to it. It's probably about as high quality as laminated particleboard gets! I like it! The quality of the powder-coating is similarly fine and shows no obvious flaws. Some types of powder coating seem to chip off easily... maybe poor preparation of the metal beneath? I dunno, but any time I've seen this type of powder coat, it's held up well. It's not the thin type that chips easily. I have a little walmart laptop stand and the difference between the hardness of the powder-coat on that is night and day from this desk. Putting it together was easy. They do give you the tools you need. Every type of screw comes packed in a lettered bag and the instructions are clear which ones go where and how it all goes together. You get one extra of each type of screw. Though I had to laugh at how they wanted you to put the top on. They thought you should lay the top flat on the ground and attach the frame to it with everything upside down. Maybe there's a good reason for it, but all I could think was "I'm not flipping that thing over!" I guess it all comes down to which you prefer... squeezing underneath or attempting to pick the whole thing up and flip it a full 180 on it's end. All in all, a very nice, simple desk. I'm very happy with it. That said, for what it is, $155 is just a little steep. $20 less than that would make it really good value compared to similar offerings. But hey, if this has what you want, the size is good, and you like the look, I'd say it's still worth it!

This desk is exactly as portrayed in the pictures. It's very beautiful and well made. The packaging blew my mind! The table top had small plastic corners fitted perfectly and then each corner was further insulated with styrofoam and a much larger plastic corner that made it fit snugly and very specifically in the box. Even though the packaging was amazing there was a small scratch on underside of desktop and a small imperfection on top. It was disappointing to be sure but the underside scratch is irrelevant and the blemish on the top is barely noticeable. The box was extremely heavy! I could barely drag/scoot it from my outside front porch thru my front door to inside, living room. Be aware of that, if you are single like me. Main problem is there's no way to grab the box since it's such a large awkward shape. I had to grab ahold using one of the side flaps and then drag it on its side. It took me quite awhile to put this desk together but I am a bit physically challenged and did most assembly while sitting down. Instructions were very good EXCEPT for the section that pertains to which side you want your shelves on. If you want them on the right side, follow along as is and you'll be fine. If you want them on the LEFT you'll need to skip ahead two steps (?) to see that note (it has to do with the lower brace bar). Other than that small thing, by the time I was done, my wrist was definitely hurting from all that screwing with the tiny Phillips head screw driver that was included. But these things I mention are all MINOR in my opinion and worth the end result ... which is a beautiful and very sturdy, well made desk. This is a five star desk and five star manufacturer IMO. Buy it!

Quick delivery and desk is great quality

Excelente producto, muy buen escritorio.

I am very happy with the product, as everything is near from screws to installing steps. It is exactly like displayed in photos. Highly recommended

This desk got great reviews and I was dwelling on the negative ones. I took the chance and ordered the desk. Let’s just say I’m very glad I did and I am very impressed. Some people claimed it was hard to put together, but if you look at the directions carefully they are super easy. Pictures are clear and show where the holes lined up. Took me 30 minutes while watching a movie. Others had concerns over busted corners. First thing I noticed is how well packed it was, they had corner protectors and lots styrofoam. Built this thing is solid! I can’t get over how good it is for the price.

Strong and sturdy, I love my desk!
