I really wanted to like this desk. The design is attractive, the rustic brown finish looks nice, and the included shelves, drawers, LED lights, and outlets are great features for the price.
Unfortunately, assembly came to a complete stop because multiple pre-installed threaded inserts were loose or pulled out of the particle board. As a result, the screws would not tighten properly and several sections could not be assembled as intended.
Before leaving a review, I contacted the seller through Walmart and gave them an opportunity to resolve the issue. Walmart confirmed my message was forwarded, but I never received a response and the problem remains unresolved.
The photos show:
* Loose threaded inserts pulled from the panels
* Damaged mounting holes
* Hardware that could not be secured properly
* Assembly issues caused by the defective inserts
This appears to be a quality control problem from the factory, not an assembly mistake. A desk with damaged inserts cannot be assembled correctly without repairs or replacement parts.
If your desk arrives without defects, it may be a decent value. However, my experience was frustrating, time-consuming, and ultimately disappointing due to the defective parts and lack of customer support.
