Bestar Universel 72W L-Shaped Desk in bark Grey

Its got a major flaw...I like the sturdiness and look of this desk. I just finished a bonus room and put a lot of work /money into it so I wanted a desk that was worthy of my effort and this one visually fits the bill.Now onto my gripe, I would have liked to see a keyboard drawer and some holes precut in it (For cables) to accommodate a desktop setup. I know they (desktops) are not really in vogue in 2020 but some of us still enjoy a nice big fixed monitor and mouse. This desk offers no routes for cables/cords which IMO is a huge design flaw. Its too big to return but if I had read this review I may have looked a little longer and harder for that perfect desk at this price point.One other thing...the drawers are not fun to get into their tracks. Its a bad design and when I called support I was told to "force" them in and then they would improve over time. It worked but I dont think that should be the way to get them inserted and its obvious there is a issue with them that should be addressed.I know that all sounds horrible but overall its a nice setup that just misses the mark and with some tweaks could be awesome from top to bottom. The look and quality are there....Hope this helps you & Good luck

Took my husband hours to put together. I have been using it daily i have no complaints. Plenty of storage and room.

This desk is really massive, but absolutely worth it. I put it together by myself and it took most of the day, just had to have my husband help flip it over at the end. But I am in love with it. It's perfect for what I need it for.

Almost broke my back carrying in this desk in as they are too cheap and only opted for curbside delivery (desk is over 350lbs, won’t even deliver to your doorstep). Also the drawers suck and keeps getting caught - some of the laminate is already starting to peel.

I've been looking for years for the right desk for my office! It's the best. Sturdy, durable, and very sophisticated.😍

This was the first piece of heavy duty furniture that I assembled all by myself, you can do it alone but its very tedious and time consuming, I took 2 days to complete the project, working 4 to 5 hours a day. Luckily i know how to read assembly drawings, but even if you don't, its not too hard to figure out as the instructions were clear and very helpful.-Before starting, check your space to see where you want to place the desk, then you can accordingly select the correct assembly instructions you need, the desk and drawer slabs are both 6 feet in length. It's best to layout all the tools and go through both manuals first, see each page step by step then attack the drawer assembly first because the desk assembly requires it, you need instructions opposite to one another, so if you use left assembly for the drawers, then use right assembly for the desk and vice versa. Assemble the desk in the area that you want it, don't do it in another room and then try to bring it to where you want it, else you might damage your doors and/or the desk parts(thats no fun)-WEAR IMPACT GLOVES when carrying the heavier slabs and DEFINITELY WEAR STEEL TOE BOOTS, regardless of whether you are attempting to do it alone or with a friend, get all personnel helping with this furniture(or any other for that matter) to wear certified safety boots, last thing you want is a part falling on your foot and crushing it, some slabs are heavy and you don't want to end up in the hospital over something that was supposed to be a fun experience.-Align screws and orient parts just like in the instruction booklets, use automatic drivers to speed up things, without it, the process is going to take too long. The manual suggests to take care when using automatic tools, so if something isn't going in smoothly don't force it because its probably an alignment issue.-Patience is key, especially when working alone, there were times i wanted to kick the desk because i wasn't able to balance the parts to put the screws in properly, this is a scenario of where you would need two people, to avoid any sudden weight shifts due to poor balance causing cams screw to rip out of the wood.All in all this was a fun project, great learning experience, i'm only giving it one star less since the design to attach the two assemblies could have been more secure, it says in the manual as well that there are no holes pre drilled to secure the two assemblies and i'd have to drill it myself, i unfortunately do not have that tool in my arsenal, so will either have to go out and get one, or leave it as is, plus the two circular pads that stick under the desk slab to provide a cushion didn't stick on so was wondering if i have to glue it on, would have been nice if it was an adhesive.So a final rating breakdown.-assembly instructions 4.5/5-ease of assembling 2.5/5 (4 on 5 with another person helping)-design 3/5-look 4/5-sturdiness 4/5grand integer total 4/5

Great Desk. Good quality. A bit hard to put together if you want to have the opposite positioning. If manufacturer can provide the reverse assembly manual for future customers I think it will be great. Also I had a hard time pushing the drawers fully in at first as it seemed like there was resistance. I was too afraid to push it in by force. But then i asked for 2nd person help to make sure drawer was pushed in equally on both sides, as its hard to do that by yourself. Once we did that and pushed it on harder then it went in and clipped in smoothly

Love the desk.Richard from the company helped and rush delivery some missing hardware.The reason it's not 5 star due to the pilot holes on the wood stand were 8mm or 5/16" off its location. I've added wood filler and did new holes so they match. I've spill water on the desk and that didn't ruin the desk.
