Black paint chips off at the edge that touches you shirtHong AnhThis desk is not worth the money. The edge towards my torso/stomach where the shirt naturally touches the desk edge because I have to work at the desk is white now...the black paint just chips off there and where my mouse is located and moved.
Sewing deskLizGreat! Love having electrical outlet in the desk.
Perfect for my needs!DenaI absolutely love this desk. The drawers were a little difficult to line up with the holes to install, but they are great. It's exactly what I wanted. I especially like the surface material and the place to hide cords in the back. I give this a top rating!
Excellent use if spaceMahPerfect for a sneaker looking desk. Not bulky yet functional and attractive
Desk ReviewBetteSee below. We had Task rabbit put it together and he was great.
Terrible Desk Top Quality- Paint Scratches very easily with anything (even fingernails)KimiaI bought this desk over a year ago so unfortunately I am not able to return, but for it being only just over a year old, it has terrible desk-top quality. For the price of the desk you would imagine the surface would be better quality. I have been very gentle using it, and only use laptops, keyboards, and a mouse on it but now it looks very ugly. I have to throw the desk away since the surface looks so bad, and there aren't even any parts available to replace it! I would have to purchase paint from Ikea which I can't trust to fix the issue. It was a really disappointing desk purchase and I would not recommend to anyone.
Alex is AwesomeTammyThis desk is sleek and attractive. Easy to assemble. Love the cord management. Both drawers are good size.
I LOVE this deskJeannetteBeautiful and functional. I had Task Rabbit assemble it.
Ikea and my grandson make a great team!RaymondMy grandson was persuaded to assemble my Alex desk; it took him an hour or two under my watchful eye. (It would have taken half the time if I had kept my eyes closed.) It's beautiful, it's sturdy, it's functional. I have a few wooden pegs left.
Nice and sleek but not much to itRachelMy 15 year old wanted this it’s nice and sleek two big drawers a hidden area to put a surge protector she loves it got task rabbit to put it together. It’s a very nice sleek desk.
love this deskNigelnew aptartment living, downsized and this desk was just the right fit for our spare room Functional and practical for all my needs
Perfect Desk for meSharonThe desk top is large enough for my desktop computer with space for essential item. and a folder or two. The spacious drawers don't take up too much space so the printer fits well under the desk and can conveniently brought forward when needed. The drawers move smoothly and don't have handles sticking out that can get in the way.
Solid Product OzemGreat by and great product.
Love the new desk RobinI saw the desk put together in the store with other office furniture and saw that it met my needs. That greatly helped with my decision process. Plus it was on sale. Timing is everything! I got lucky.
Perfect size deskRobertDesk is easy to assemble, good quality and very functional with 2 drawers
The best deskJennaThe desk is amazing and it has the perfect space for my school things
Paint peeling Anonymous reviewerGreat sturdy desk that I needed for my home office. It holds 2 large monitors but they have to sit on the cord tray cover so be prepared to set it up and leave it. Paint on top peeled within a month and even being careful, it continues to peel in different places. At least it is the same color under the paint so it isn't too noticeable. I like this desk but wish the paint was better.
A+ for Amazing Desk!ReneeGreat quality and solid desk! We love this gray color.
Very good but expensiveBobQuite good quality unit, but should be like $159 instead of $259 we paid. Only quibble is the drawers don't open all the way, cheap slides are the reason.
Beautiful, but scratches too easilyBrettThe desk is lovely: easy assembly and looks great. But the finish is too fragile: it scratches easily and quickly looks shabby.

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.
