    Nice butRebeccaThe desk itself is very nice, sturdy and good looking. But the wood coating is extremely cheap and chips off and can see the white underneath which makes it look very worn and cheap even though i have had the desk for a small amount of time it is not worth the price tag, maybe for $80 sure but not $150.3
    averageNehaprasadLooks sleek, but I think practically it may be limiting. The cable storage space reduces the usable work surface, and because nothing can really sit over that back section, I’d constantly need to shift things around just to access plugs or move cables. So while the design is neat and minimal, it may not be the most practical option for everyday use.2
    GreatCatherineEasy to assemble except for the hinges at the back. We can’t get the lid to sit flush. Otherwise a nice size and looks great.4

    Worst - hinge clicks but unclicksAnonymous reviewerThe hinge clicks into place but the moment you close and open again, it comes off/ unblock. Tried so many times adjustment to get the hinge, screwing and unscrewing. Give up on assembling. Worst.1

    Review: 5 out of 5 stars.5
    We have a room which is an office by day and a relaxed games room by night - this one fits perfectly without taking up too much room. Solid and useful with a nice compartment to hide the cabling

    Material

    What is particleboard?

    Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.
