Laszlo Writing Desk

Perfect for my 8 year olds room! Enough space and not bulky. So easy to assemble. Its not high quality furniture but REALLY nice for the price and purpose.

This is a classic case of ‘you get what you pay for’ honestly. Very cheap material that came already lifting on the corners and with little sharp splinters along the edge. Will scratch extremely easily, so now I’m spending more money on a desk mat and little pads for the bottoms of everything I put on it. Also, the legs are slightly uneven so it wobbles. Not thrilled with this desk so far, and I don’t imagine it’s going to improve.

I am pleasantly surprised by how ergonomically perfect the desk is. Though compact, it is large enough for books and electronics, with plenty of space left for aesthetics. Love this desk so much I got two, one for each teenager. They love it too!

I got the desk and put everything together and wondered why it was insanely unstable and wobbly, with no way I could put anything on it. It turns out the front two legs, which should’ve been identical, were almost an inch in difference AND the flat piece on each leg that you screw into the desktop were completely different angles. So I requested new front legs, and had to wait almost another two weeks (which is messed up- I waited the initial time to get the desk already, they should have express shipped the replacement pieces to rectify the situation as quickly as possible). Anyway, the faulty desk just laid in my apartment taking up space and unusable till then. Instead of getting front leg replacements, they just shipped a whole new desk so I had to disassemble the broken one and find a way to dispose of it. Oh, and the new one came with several dents in the desktop on the FRONT side, no less. one and find a way to dispose of it.

The screws were too long and went through the wood but other than that, the desk is well made and sturdy. Easy to put together. Just would’ve wished the screws had been smaller so that once they were screwed on tight, they wouldn’t have gone through the wood.
