Perfect clean linesRhondaCleaning out our office we have added Alex. Side by side computers, a drawer each.
We have the book shelves above it in white.
The insert in one drawer. And the desk at the side. We need the office chair next to move from computer to computer.
Then we will add the white Billy book shelves behind the chair. Fresh in white.

Sturdy and contemporary designFredaMy son loves it
However we should have waited one more week before IKEA decided to drop the price the following week after we had purchased we could have saved $100 😫
Love this deskMaddieI love this desk. Nice design, two wide and deep drawers, love that there is the little 'fold back' section to hide all my cables.
Of note, the box is quite heavy - it's definitely a 2-person job to get it from the car to the house.
Big enough and strong enoughJanaThis was also a Winning Buy... My child love this desk and the concealed cable holder is a great touch
Great deskShahrzadThis is our third in our home so simple and stylish
Beautiful Desk but some adviceWarrenThis is a great desk however one part of it will make or break your experience putting it together and it looks like others have had a similar experience.
The part where you put the steel legs and frame together is where you can become incredibly frustrated or breeze through. When you insert the legs you need to make sure you push them down to lock the legs in. Go up to insert then push down. If you don't (trust me from the initial mistake I made and the headache that followed) nothing will line up properly and will seem like it is out of alignment. You will also have a problem with the steel bar that goes across. So a simple part, if you do right will save you a lot of a headache.
Other than that, it was very easy to put together and looks great! Very happy.
Hope this helps!!
Value for moneyShreenathEasy to assemble, looks great

Easy to buildStephanieGreat quality, good price, easy to build
Great deskMariaThis is a really lovely desk, the drawers are so handy as is the little hideaway for any cables. We bought two and they were so easy to put together.
Fit for purpose and easy to assemble.AlfredThis desk is very practical. I would like to have slightly deeper drawers. And the coating on the desktop can be just a bit more resilient.
Excellent desk with drawersBarryGreat desk with 2 handy drawers. Easy to assemble. Looks good.
Instructions and photos not clear enough.ArianeDesk looks nice, but the instructions were not clear enough, some pictures of the parts should be enlarged so avoid mistakes when put together. Also there was no hole for the screw at the back of the drawers, asking to hammer it and ended up damaging one part of the drawer, not happy just kept it because I needed urgently.
Good size desk, can be difficult to assemble PalindeeOverall, the appearance, desk size and usability is great/ can be multipurpose. However, I found when assembling, some parts were difficult to slot it. Instructions could be more clear.
Perfect desk for WFHAndiThe size and design are meeting all my expectations.
