Signature Design by Ashley Othello Contemporary 43" Home Office Desk with 1 Drawer, White

This desk is perfect for my room, it came out really nice. Changed the knobs to gemstone ones, and it looks so much better. I build the desk by myself, it was pretty easy you just need to take your time to do it right and follow the instructions.

Assembly was easy but the last step was putting in the drawer. The drawer hard wear was falling apart. The wood had screws falling out because the MDF had crumbled. Now, if my daughter opens this drawer, it falls out of place. Basically, you can not use the drawer.

The media could not be loaded.  It’s a really nice desk and I love the look of it but the reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because the drawer gets stuck and it’s so frustrating especially since it wasn’t that cheap, it also had 2 marks on it. Believe me when I say I’ve put many, many things together and I followed the instructions to the T so I don’t know what’s going on. I’m not sure what I’m going to do because it’s such a hassle to have to send something of this size back.Update: It’s only gotten more stuck like I can’t even open it unless I tug a few times, it’s so frustrating.Update: July 2020Since I wrote this review I’ve only opened the drawer a handful of times, I keep everything I need on top of the desk which defeats the purpose of the drawer but it is such a hassle to open it because I have to tug it hard to open which makes things on top of my desk fall. Reading some of the other reviews I see I wasn’t the only one, luckily I’m finally looking for a new one.

This desk looks nice and is decent quality for the price. It's perfect for my teen for homework time in her room. Assembly wasn't too difficult. All hardware was there. My only issue was one of the pre drilled screw holes was a bit small so the wood started to split a little but it was not a piece that shows. Very happy with this desk.

This desk went together easily and looks great.

Love my desk. It fits perfectly in the corner of my room and is so cute! Perfect computer deck or even makeup vanity.

I couldn’t get just the top of the desk even though it simply screws on. Ashley can get all the minor pieces but not the top. I contacted the manufacturer and the first thing they want is my complete Social Security number. I can’t use the original packaging to sen the whole desk back due to breaking it down. UPS will package the desk for $60.00. I’m disappointed with Ashely not being able to send the part I need. I can’t imagine why the manufacturer need my SSAN. and I’m disappointed with Amazon for selling items from someone so questionable .

Top surface had a few scratches.

This desk is very classy. I bought it because of the size and offered price was lower than the Ikea alternative. Easy to assemble. I recommend it strongly.

Love the look of this desk when put together and feels sturdy, however I had quite a few issues with the materials & build quality. The predrilled holes for most of the dowels were too large so the dowels fell out. The manufacturer recommends filling the holes in with glue first (not included). Other issues: the screws strip easily, one of the cam nuts snapped & warped when I tightened it and there were no spares in the bag so I had to hammer it back into shape. Finally one of the drawer dividers didn't have any predrilled holes on one side so I wasn't able to insert the final wooden pegs as per the assembly instructions. After 2 hours of putting this together and running into all these issues I can't recommend this product.

Cute little desk at a great price. Super easy to put together and I love the one large drawer.
