Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There was one major con this desk had that took away a star. The bottom self of the book case seems to be about an inch longer than the other shelves, so even if you push the desk all the way back, there is still about an inch between the desk and the wall (as you can see in one of my pictures) making it really wobbly. I also have carpet lining the base of my wall, which doesn't help. I found a helpful fix that stabilized the desk a bit. I cut an old cardboard box into several pieces, and glued/taped the pieces together until I had a cardboard stack that fit snugly between the wall and the desk. In one of my pictures, I made arrows showing where I put the reinforcements. I put two on both ends of the main part of the desk, one behind the top shelf of the book case, and one behind the 2nd shelf. I also put a reinforcement under bottom shelf of the bookcase. I once stepped on the edge of the bottom shelf, and the desk is so light, that the whole thing tipped over because the bottom shelf is approx 3/4 of an inch off the ground. You could probably go to a hardware store and find something that would work well too, I just used what I had around the house. Other than that, I found it's really good because: -It does the job. -It was very easy to put together. I did it by myself in maybe 30 minutes, and it came with the necessary tools. -I like the book shelves. They don't seem super stable, but I keep notebooks on the middle shelf, and kept 2 textbooks on the bottom; I would lay them flat though. -I knew what I was getting myself in for $35. I wasn't expecting the kind of executive desk like one might find in the office of a fortune 500 CEO.
