Alex DeskDebraNice desk, easy to put together. Great for a small room.
Mind the InstructionsH. GrahamThe strikers are shown upside- down on step 15, which kept me from being able to install the hinged part. Otherwise, this is a fine desk.
Makes a great sewing tableRuthPerfect for my small sewing room. The two drawers provide lots of handy storage for scissors, pins, etc. that I need close at hand. Cords are hidden in the back flip top compartment. I am 74 years old and was able to put it together myself.
alex deskLorraineBought 2 only because it was a very marked down price….and…it is a shade of green. Would NOT have paid original price
Great quality itemStephanieWe bought this for our teenagers room. We assembled it in 30 minutes but did set extra glue in the joints to make sure everything would stay together. Pieces fit together nicely. Drawers are ample and fit all of our kids school supplies. The extra flap for wires is very handy. Overall it’s a great desk for the price.
This is a nice deskReginaThis desk is nice and simple. The drawers open smoothly and it was fairly simple to put together. I'm 43 yrs old and on the heavy side, but I put it together on my own. I would advise putting it together in the area you plan to use it. If your like me and don't have plenty of room to maneuver through the house after it's assembled, it can be a hassle to move it. After it's all said and done, this is a beautiful minimalistic piece. I am happy with my purchase.
Great qualityAndreaThis desk is extremely sturdy, easy to assemble, great quality, nice finish. Extremely roomy drawers that pull out far, and I love the area to hide power cords at the rear with the self closing lid. Truly great, especially at this price level. Be very hard pushed to find anything like this elsewhere.
Desk for TeenagerMaureenBought this for my teen. He picked it out. Perfect size for him to sit down and have his own space to study. Great find!
Perfect!GailLove this desk. Small profile fits perfectly in my very small office; but has more than adequate desktop space. Love the cord compartment, too.
Over priced LydiaThe desk is fine for a small space and was easily put together however the price is about $100 dollars more than it should be for what you get. Most small desk are about $99 to $170 and this was well over $200. I mean at ikea you have to build them yourself so not sure why this was the price it was.
Great smaller version of the Alex DeskAmyBought this for my daughter’s college room. Minimal space to work with and wanted the same look and functionality of the ALEX desk she has at home. This did not disappoint!
Perfect teen homeschool desk JessicaI’m about to buy one more of these, they are so nice! My teen put it together with no problem at all. The drawers are roomy and the back allows the cords to be hidden with the little opening. It’s perfect size for my 5’9 14 year old and 5’8 17 yr old. It looks nice in their room too.
Love this desk!Anonymous reviewerI love this desk!! This is perfect size for the corner of my living room. I LOVE this color!! I bought 2 of the Alex cabinets on wheels as well, and plan to get the short stack of drawers on wheels.
Drawers don't open very farMichaelEnded up returning this because the drawers don't open very far, less than halfway.
Perfect kitchen deskKatieThis simple design will fit anywhere. I love it in my kitchen.
Easy to assemble, beautiful color. No complaints.
Computer desk for tight spaceDavidGreat price, perfect for where we needed it; bought the ELLOVEN along with it; used TASKRABBIT to put the desk together; great service !!

Customer reviews
- Desk for rooms that need an understated desk
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
Chris, New Zealand - The perfect desk for a small to mid sized room
We got this desk for our daughter's bedroom and its just perfect. Also, at just over 11, she was able to put it together all by herself. Love it!
Bishal, New Zealand - Great sturdy desk.
This desk is great. Very sturdy and solid. Wish the draws were a little deeper, but other than that it's a fantastic desk. Great size too. Fitted into the space I had perfectly.

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.
