Furinno Simplistic A Frame Computer Desk, Black/French Oak Grey

Very easy to build stable enough for what I need. Price was right. Like how compact it is.

Great functional desk for its size. Very sturdy to be so small.

I waivered on purchasing this desk due to the negative reviews, but the price and small size of the desk (and lack of other cheap, small desks <32" wide) made this seem worth trying. After assembling and using the desk for a work week, I can say that I think the investment was worth it, in both money and time. Note that I bought this desk for less than $50, but it seems the price can fluctuate. I would not pay more than $50 for this.My first and most significant comment on whether or not one should buy this desk is this: have realistic expectations. This is a cheap desk and is built like a cheap desk. It's particle board. If you're expecting to get a desk to last you years and years, try spending a couple hundred dollars instead. I bought this specifically for working from home in my tiny bedroom.The desk is not hard to assemble, but the instructions are also not easy to follow because they're only pictures with few words. I highly suggest getting familiar with the instructions before assembling to avoid frustration. I personally built this by myself in about 45 minutes, but 2 people would make it go much faster. Here are my assembly recommendations for each step in the instructions, based on my experience:GENERAL Recommendations:* Get wood glue or other (I used E6000) to reinforce all the joints where you attach parts. Trust me, this will improve the stability immensely. I applied glue to each non-finished edge before attaching with hardware.* Count all hardware and identify each piece by its letter (they are labeled) before you start. Don't assemble if there are missing parts.* I suggest using an electric screwdriver or drill to assemble, if you have one available, and have a flashlight on hand to make sure holes line up where pieces are attached. This is key to assembling a stable unit.Step 1 - pay attention to the finished vs unfinished edges. It is not clear which end of the bracket should be facing the unfinished edge based on the picture, but it should be the hollow side of the bracket (the large holes should be facing the finished edge).Step 2 -pretty straightforward, make sure you're using screw #4 and that the unfinished edge is facing the correct direction.Step 3 - My piece E was not labeled, but I found it after process of elimination. Make sure the finished edge on K/J is up when you assemble this piece.Step 4 - This was not easy to do alone, but if you push the end of the legs against a wall to balance, it's not that hard. Use a flashlight to ensure the holes on the legs line up with the holes on the table top and heavily glue the joints.Step 5 - Definitely make sure you apply a lot of glue to these joints, and make sure the holes on the pieces line up when driving in hardware.Step 6 - This is very unclear the way it's drawn. Basically, attach the legs with screw #1 on the outside connections, and use screw #2 on the inside connection points. Screw #2 should face inward towards the unfinished edges. Again, apply a lot of glue to these joints. It was hard to line up the holes on the legs with the holes on the connection points, so a second person would come in handy here to hold the pieces together.Step 7 - same advice: glue and lining up the holesStep 8 - check to make sure the black square is straight compared to the edge of the table top. They move pretty easy with some force if minor adjustment is needed after attachmentStep 9 - same advice: glue and lining up the holesStep 10 - I used all the tacks they provided and glued the entire panel to the back of the desk.Here's my Step 11 - stand the desk up and check the stability. If it wobbles at certain points, drive in extra wood screws at the joint, taking care not to puncture the particle board (I missed a couple times). I did this at the point where the front legs meet the table top, for extra side-to-side stability. I definitely could have added more.After assembly, the desk still unfortunately has a little side-to-side wobble in it, but only when you physically try to make it wobble. I think this is from the cheap particle board materials having some flex, because I heavily reinforced all the joints. In the end this is acceptable to me, because with regular use the desk is stable and does not move while typing, writing, etc unless you run into it. I find the top shelf and nooks underneath especially useful as I like to have everything in reach on my desk. I was able to fit a 23" monitor and a Surface on the top shelf without much of a problem, though the back of my monitor stand hangs off by about 2 inches, but it's up against a wall.So far I'm satisfied with the desk and it meets my functional needs.

Unfortunately this little table turned out to be a big frustration.The box arrived and I took all the myriad of pieces out to begin assembly. Hundreds of tiny broken foam pieces went everywhere from the crappiest of packing foam inside. What a mess that was.Looking at all the components, all of the “wood” pieces are actually horribly flimsy particle board, and some of the lowest quality particle board I have ever seen. The top face of the desk arrived severely bowed, and the back face of the drawer had two long chips broken off along the slot where the drawer bottom is intended to slide in. 1/3 of the slot length was intact however so I opted to continue assembly. Major tactical error.When I got to attaching the legs, the smaller screws would not line up with the pre-drilled holes in the legs and would not screw in correctly on three of the legs. Very frustrating. After nearly three hours of frustration and sweat, I managed to get this thing together though.Then, like a cherry on top, the last step was placing little black circular stickers that came on a small handy sheet over all the screw holes (Because when you want to hide screws, who wouldn't want to do so with a handy sheet of cheap black stickers?).Finally I was done, or so I thought. But when I put the drawer in, it literally ripped apart. One of the screws ripped right out of the soft, crappy particle board drawer side and the drawer frame just fell apart and is completely unfixable. This was not due to me being rough or assembling it incorrectly, but was entirely due to the horrible quality of the cheapest particle board available on earth. The rest of the desk material is the same crap, so I cant imagine it will have a long life even without the drawer.So needless to say I have requested a refund. But the fun doesn't end there because now I get to spend even more of my time disassembling this monstrosity just so I can try to get it all back in the loose foam-filled box and take it to the UPS store for the return.If I can spare just one person the hassle I went through with this table, then this review will have been worth it. Never has the phrase “You get what you pay for” meant more to me than it does now.

This desk has been with us since Covid and it work good for the price.

It's a cheaply made desk, and I knew that going in. I bought it to replace my old desk from over a decade ago, which is the exact same desk. The newer on, however, is more cheaply made than my old one.Immediately out of the box I notice the top had several scratches in it, and one of the pieces for the drawer was split. Luckily, these weren't enough to ruin the functionality of the desk, but certainly annoying. There are also these random drilled holes on the front panels on each side of the drawer that seem to have no use whatsoever. Reviewing the instructions again, I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to be there. Other than that, the desk doesn't look bad.The whole desk is made of particle board. The legs are thinner now than my older desk, which makes it wobblier as well. The only benefit is the fact that the drawer is also wood on metal tracks as most other desks these days only have fabric drawers for some reason.My last one held up for 10 years of hard use (granted, the top was scratched/torn like crazy at this point) and I expect this one to last about as long, though maybe a couple years less.

Great work desk!!!

Works great
