The draw holes don't match up to where the rollers are meant to go. One of the roller slides needed bending to work properly. The instructions are useless they don't tell you how to connect the draw to the desk and they give you screws that you aren't told where they go and holes that match to nothing. Do not buy this desk

I happily use mighty ape all the time and consider them quite reliable who sell quality goods with great customer service. This desk, however ( their brand + manufactured by mighty ape ) has been my first disappointing experience. The instructional sheet is a one-side page with drawings that do not have any important detail whatsoever such as distinctive holes or features of the individual piece, or at least numbers on any of the about 15– 16 pieces- A lot of which are similarly sized but with minuscule differences that mean the difference between building a desk or a Frankenstein hunk of particleboard. Very vague in instruction. I'm not exaggerating when I say you are left on your own to figure out what is what and how what comes together. The drawer sliders/tracks are not pre-installed AND the instructions are conveniently not included to help you attach them either. The 4– or so different small to tiny parts to put it all together are all delicately chucked into one big bag for you to sort through (with no inventory on the instructions of how many nor images to differ which ones to use, only arrows ). Tools are not included but that doesn't really bother me much whatsoever. Basically, I would only ever recommend this desk to someone I disliked.

It came in a 41kg flat pack. The instructions are minimal and you mainly assemble by intuition. For anyone who hasn't used these type of screws before, the stick shaped screws, screw into the plastic lined holes. The circle ones, go in the circle holes with the opening facing the nearest hole. They interconnect and then you twist the circle one to fasten them in place. This will only make sense to someone who has received the flat pack but it will be welcome assistance due to the minimal instructions. The drawer, does not have pre cut holes for the screws, those should be done with a drill or force. I like the desk, it was harder to build than IK*A but a stronger, sturdier product to finish with. The drawer may catch on the screws of the drawer slide if you do not replace them with smaller ones without a flat head. Basically, kind of difficult to assemble but a nice table.

As per other reviews, the assembly instructions are a joke. Once you get it sorted the lock screws work well but having to put in the drawer runners blind was a challenge. Mine had a defective runner – apparently a replacement is on its way – the jury is out on whether it will fix my problem. Mighty Ape have been great in helping so here’s hoping. Couple weeks later the problem has been identified by my very handy neighbour. Mighty Ape this is a great product seriously let down by the dreadful instructions. Fix that and you won’t need to special it.
