Flimsy DrawersSampathDo not buy this product. The drawers are flimsy. They come off after a year. The store does not not carry spare parts. They ask you to repair yourself.
Alex DeskJessicaThe desk was okay to set up, it was a little hard getting the base put together. But the white scratches super easly. I have had it for about three days and there are already marks and scratches on it so keep that in mind if planning on getting the white.

Looks really good. Easy to assembleJaneThis desk was relatively easy to put together. The drawers are large and smooth riding.
I like the rear cable access which enables you to put a bar plug into it to hook up laptop, light and other electronics. It's a nice addition to my den.
Heavy but sturdy.RonaldoSimple design . Wire management compartment int the back is great. A lot of desk area and drawer storage area. It was just heavy because of the metal frame and legs.
looks greatMoniquea bit difficult to assemble but well worth it; purchased for working at home but can be just as beautiful in a hallway or in the back of a sofa, the cables are hidden and the the item looks very sleek and solid
Great desk!VictoriaVery nice-looking desk, excellent quality. Love the drawers, and the price - best value for the money!
Table with low quality coating.StanislavQuality of the coating at this table is very low. You can literally wash it off with a damp cloth.

It’s perfect for my use.DeloresIt’s perfect for my use. Just the right size
Love the desk…but…PeggyLove the desk but there are weak spots in the veneer paint, had to take the original one back die to massive scratches on the top but and the second has wearing of the paint on the edge due to weakness/thinness. We live an hour outside of the closest city with an ikea. We got the black one.
Previously we purchased the blue one-we’ve had it for three years now, zero issues. The blue one is a flat, smooth veneer, however, the black one is rigid and raised. Perhaps this is the reason.
Love the metal base andStephanieLove the metal base and the size and price were just right. Drawers are a little flimsy and you'll definitely want a desk pad to protect the white desktop.

Great productElhamGreat product
Disappointing overallKelsieWithin a few months of using it 2-3 days a week the finish started to chip off and wear away just from contact with my arms. Otherwise the drawers slide smoothly, it's very stable and I like the cable management compartment. Keep in mind that the drawer takes up leg space. Won't be a concern for everyone but I'm 5'3/150lbs and I have to lower my chair to fit my thighs under the drawer, which lowers my body and requires my arms to be at an upward angle to reach the keyboard. Wish I had tried it instore before purchasing.

Great desk for my daughterKaraGreat desk for my daughter
Disappointed in Alex deskDonnaThe packge contained 2 right sides, no left side. Husband had to use an angle grinder to cut the slots correctly for the left leg position. Desk top piece had a scratch across it and a "bubble" (blemish) in the finish above left drawer, likely a manufacturing defect. We drove 2 hours to pick up this desk and were not interested in the return drive. We assembled it for use and were offered a replacement, however, IKEA wanted the desk disassembled and repackaged for pickup! Just too much work for a simple desk. The desk looks okay if you just don't look too closely. We were given a credit but still displeased with the experience.

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.
