Product details

Here you enjoy plenty of storage space for things you want within easy reach.

The table top is made of board-on-frame, a strong and lightweight material.

The plywood-patterned edge band adds to the quality feel.

Pre-drilled holes in the table top make it easier to attach the legs.

The cut-out handles not only add character to the drawer unit, they also make it easy for you to grip and open the drawers.

You can place the desk in the middle of the room if you like – it looks just as nice from all sides.

Great deskNenaThis was my dream desk!!! All my work from home equipment fits perfectly. I had professional assembly took about 1 hour and 30 minutes.5
Totally chic!PaigeFits perfect with my new vanity setup. Perfect for a large mirror and get ready room.5
Not what I thoughtMariaThe top doesn’t hook,nail or stay together with the bottom parts. There’s is no way to keep the top from moving when you shove or push a bit.4

DeskJasonOverall,. It's pretty good. Recomended if you are n Budget.5
It's complicated - Lagkapten/Alex desk/drawer setKatieI love my desk and especially the deep drawers. However, it was confusing to put together and took a lot longer than it should have (I have several other ikea pieces I have assembled). Specifically, the top sections of each drawer unit had designated screw holes (4) to attach drawer unit to the desk top as well set of 4 holes at each corner for a total of 20 pre-drilled holes. I found this confusing because I thought maybe the 4 holes on each corner were meant for wheel casters on the bottom (not top) of each unit? I watched a couple of YouTube videos to see if anyone pointed this out but didn't come across anything to explain the reasoning. So, I forged ahead defaulting to the fact that the larger 4 holes were meant for attaching the drawers to the top. It would be helpful to point out (if this is how it's supposed to be) whats/whys of various elements of the design in the instructions. Other than that , I'm very happy with the desk.3
Shocking low qualityLarsLess than 24 hours and white coating is peeling off desk top. Very disappointing.1
DefectiveRobertaI’m a fan of the product, this is my second unit. However one of the drawer units were defective. Started the return process but ended up scrapping it because I didn’t want the hassle of going to return in person. 2
Wish it Sat Higher JaniceI really like the desk; however, I wish there was a way to have it sit higher. I don’t think I’ll be able to work at it all day with as low as it sits.5

I like itAnonymous reviewerthis is my first buy from Ikea and I like it. I got the wood top and white drawers. it's clean cut and it goes really well with the aesthetic in my room. it weirdly lower than I wanted so I had it raised. the drawers are a little stiff but that's just one thing. other than that, not really any complaints. 4
Love the quality DawnI got the desk to make a vanity and it didn't disappoint. I love the quality of their furniture. So easy to put up 5
Love the desk, but kinda cheap for priceConnieI love the desk and tall drawers very much. It’s exactly what I wanted. It’s pretty expensive for how it’s made. I thought it would be very sturdy and thick wood but some of it was made very cheap. Kinda disappointed how much we paid and how cheap it’s made. The insert for drawer Didn’t even fit. It showed bought together and I bought one to try it and it doesn’t even fit. 5
6 Years LaterAnonymous reviewerI have had this desk for 6 years and I still love it. I have had no issues with it and I like that I can replace the desktop so easily if I mess it up some how. 5
❤️JessicaLove it! Using it as my vanity. 5
