Bestar Norma U or L-Shaped Desk, 71W, Black & Bark Gray

Beautiful desk. Very large. Easy to assemble. Hard to move once together. Looks fantastic in the home office and very functional.

I purchased this desk expecting a high quality desk for the price. It arrives and the desktop surface is scratched/stained in multiple places. In addition to this, the two drawers are the worst I've ever dealt with, one will barely open and close and makes a horrible sound the entire time they are moving. The other won't close at all. Absolutely unacceptable for the price charged for the desk. In talking with bestar they sent new hardware for one of the drawers (which took almost 2 weeks to arrive after I spent days emailing them) and now both drawers will barely close (instead of one not closing at all). Of course the product is near impossible to return as it is a massive desk, so I will be forced to keep it.

I absolutely love this desk. Cool looking and very practical. Meets my needs as well as the employee's that come in to join work efforts. One side of the desk has enough room for additional chairs on the outside.

I have had this desk for a year and a half now.Assembly -Luckily I bought this desk for my new apartment, so I didn't have anything in my office yet. It took me HOURS to assemble, had a ton of pieces, but it all went together smoothly enough. Instructions were fine, better than most Amazon ordered things. I gave it three stars only because it took hours, which to me isn't easy - but not a knock per say.Sturdiness -The desk is very sturdy, EXCEPT the top piece in the middle, connecting the two sides. I made two mistakes here. The first mistake was I needed to move the desk after it was assembled, and I was lazy, so by doing this I "ripped/stretched" the screw holes a bit. The second mistake was putting a little of my weight on it when trying to reach behind to move stuff. With these two mistakes together, the middle crashed down, bending the keyboard tray, and my dual monitor fell along with it all. I was very lucky that nothing landed on my feet. I went to the hardware store and bought some more brackets and now it's basically not going anywhere.Value -I read reviews of scratching, or this and that. I always use mats on work surfaces so I can't attest to that, however, I have had no issues with this. I love my desk. I love the space. The drawers all work well.Overall, I'd say 4.5/5

Very professional desk. Once you get started assembling it’s not bad to assemble. Need 2 people to finish.

Most reviews say how hard this is to assemble. I bought 2 of them, one with a side hitch too and had them both assembled in 3 hours total. If you have NEVER assembled anything in your life, it might be hard to assemble. If you have assembled anything from IKEA, this is cake.

WOOD CHIPPED OFF ON MANY PLACES

Great deal, as described. Desk very sturdy. The shipping was horrible! Box came in with a bunch of tears and dinged desk up. Decided to keep it because the areas were at the back.
