Reviews
Hemnes Desk is a nice looking deskDavid I took two days to build my desk only because I had started late in the evening. The desk was easy to put together except for it being tricky attaching the door to the desk. It's not a simple hinge, but a soft close hinge. So there is a little bit more effort to attach. Once done, I was happy about the results.
Good computer deskColinThis is a nice big computer desk with plenty of space for a computer and cables, and some thought given to cable routing. The only thing I don't like is how there's no middle drawer, only a small cable run.
Assembly tip:
Near the end when it asks you to put in twelve cam lock nuts -- delay that until you put the top on the base. This will ensure a poorly positioned nut won't prevent the base and the top from connecting well.
Great deskGlenI am enjoying this desk immensely. It is quite good looking and allows me enough room to do whatever I need to. The only problem was the box was scratched which meant the desktop and one of the shelves was scratched. As the task rabbit guy discovered it and he was already over, it was too late to send back. So check the packaging when you pick it up and make them give you another if there is ANY imperfection in the box.
Love my deskJennaBought this in 2023 to go in my new home office. I love the way it looks, and how large the desktop area is. The cable hole / shelf is super useful!
I also don’t remember having a particularly hard time with assembly. I was able to do it on my own (although took a few hours) and it’s still standing great 2 years later!
Hemnes is great!ToveVery happy w the 6 Hemnes products I have bought in the last 2 mths and the ones I’ve had before. I hope the series do not get discontinued. Two things, though: 1) I am still waiting for a white dresser. Waited over 2 mths. I also wish you could have a white dresser w a wooden top. 2) When you have bookshelves w and w/o glassdoors/drawers in red, I wish you would have the TV stand and coffee table in the same color, too. I couldn’t by that color because of it and I really liked that color.
Great Product...Easy to build regardless of previsious reviews.TracyIt's not a 20 minute job, it will take a couple of hours to put together. I wouldn't recommend using any power tools to assemble as I uses a ratchet screwdriver and a small hammer to tap together. Make sure all the dowels used a firmly seated which will ease assembly. Sturdy and excellent craftsmanship. Will keep the HEMNES in mind for future pieces of furniture from Ikea.
Solid desk, don’t be scared of building ScottI feel like I had to write this review due to the massive amount of bad reviews on how hard it was to build. I had slightly more difficulty than the shelves, but mostly it was just lack of leverage to screw certain parts together. Getting the top piece of the desk on took the least time of any piece I built so far. Seems average level of quality for the hemnes series and I’m not afraid to move it around my room as needed. The side panels are same as hemnes book shelves and would be the part I’d be most afraid to damage. The file cabinet drawer is a nice touch and not something I knew was in the specs.
Good desk, confusing cabinetHannahI like this desk and fortunately didn't have much trouble assembling it. My only complaint is that the cabinet is unfortunately proportioned; it's super narrow and deep. No ikea storage bins are proportioned appropriately for it so you're bound to end up with some things pushed annoyingly far back. I wish cabinet were just another set of drawers.
Low quality and so hard to build Anonymous reviewerThe first one I got had holes drilled incorrectly and had to be returned. The second one I was able to assemble but took four hours and three trips to the local hardware store for extra parts and tools. Everything that comes with it that uses a screw head got stripped out immediately before I could even get the screw into the pieces. Because of this I had to replace the screws with different screws from the hardware store which worked great but aren’t the right size so now the drawers hardly function. The instructions are incredibly unclear, even for IKEA. Holes were drilled incorrectly on this desk as well but I was able to figure out a workaround. The desktop is completely untreated wood and will require that I put my own finish on it to avoid stains. I could keep going but I’m running out of characters. For $450 and all this time and energy wasted to say I’m disappointed is an understatement. The quality of the hardware is the most abysmal part but there are many many issues.
There is quality issue with this product Anonymous reviewerThe side of the desk piece cracked when I put the desk top on.
So bad for the money.....BenjaminSo bad for the money.....
It does not work with any other desk products in the world.
Currently in the garbageCedarI bought this desk and the screws get stripped trying to put it together. I thought that was fine but just moving the desk after it was assembled caused the untire thing to fall apart and break. All the pegs broke and the middle is very weak by design. There is no support except the top. You can't carry it by the top or it comes off and you can't carry it by the bottom or it all breaks. It's now in pieces on the side of the road. Wish I could get my money back.
Must be an engineer to put this togetherJonelDesk quality is okay however putting this thing together is a nightmare if you do not have a PHD in engineering. Between the holes that are too small to fit the screws to the screws being stripped because they can't fit in the holes, to the hinges on the door, they should've paid me to build this horrendous desk. It took me 4 days to build this. Then, when it was FINALLY done, the bottom hinge on the door broke when I opened the cabinet. This thing is a nightmare.
Nice deskEvgenyI think this is a very nice, well made desk. The table top looks expensive and pleasant to touch. My daughter is delighted to have this desk in her room!
Nice desk but design issuesAnonymous reviewerWe put this desk together and when we put the top on it, it didn’t line up with the pin screws and the wooden dowels. Very disappointing design. We had to remove 6 out of the nine pins to get it to line up. I do not think a desk for this price should have had such a design flaw.
Perfect Home Desk💙GabrielaPerfect size for my dual monitors! Everything fits nicely & allows room for writing. Well made, super sturdy! Great style!!
Not as Much Fun as the Original to AssembleMattSo I had purchased this desk years ago when black/brown was just about the only option. My wife wanted a white one until she finally saw an example of the Hemnes white. She finally decided to get the black/brown because it matches our bed (and all my previous furniture as well... I have assembled every single Hemnes product at least once) except that she liked the newer top better than mine. As others had mentioned, assembly of this is not a breeze. I had to pull out my drill and make everything fit. Almost nothing went according to the plans. But, in the end, I did win and the desk is solidly assembled - PERMANENTLY as I used polyurethane glue for almost everything that wasn't supposed to move to strengthen the poor fitting fastened joints. For the increase in price, it is absolutely not up to snuff when compared to the "same" desk ten years ago. I am quite disappointed with the preassembly, but in the end I do like the product. Just not for this price. I used to love building these.
So good I got two…ScottBought one for my wife’s office at work and after a few years It was my turn. And after looking at hers I knew it would work for my needs.
Well designed and well made office desk. JefferyIt took quite a while to assemble and had some trouble getting some of the longer locking screws positioned properly so that locking nut would work but final results were excellent. Everything fit together perfectly and the assembled desk is solid and strong. I was expecting a urethane type finish on the top instead of the thin, matt finish that it has. I'm hoping it holds up well with use but may need to refinish if it doesn't.
Worst IKEA Product Ever DO NOT BUYTyleRecently purchased a dresser and bookcase from this line and was very pleased with the products. The quality and look were above expectations and they were easy to assemble. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for this desk. The assembly is near impossible with the screws.
If I was gambling man, based on other recent reviews and my experience, I would bet there was a manufacturing error and IKEA either doesn’t know about or continued to ship out defective product.
I would avoid this product at all costs for now.
