Inval AM-16423 Contemporary Computer Desk For Residential Use, Washed Oak/Beech

Buy this product. Works great for what I needed. I have my 2 laptops and 2 large monitors in this with my printer etc. it does take a bit to put together but the quality is fine. Sturdy and well designed.

Nice color. I had task rabbit put armoire together. Only gave 4 stars because keyboard drawer comes down due to magnet not strong enough to hold drawer in place. Doors lined up due to task rabbit employee using his drill to put screws in and out.

I was hesitant on purchasing this because of some of the reviews in the issues people had. I put it together without any issues, nothing really out of the ordinary when putting furniture together. The directions are not the greatest but not the worst I’ve seen either. It worked for me and i am happy with purchase as i am able to use it as i intended.

This furniture looks good fully closed up - this is in our guest bedroom so we didn't want a messy computer desk in there. It has some design issues to be aware of:- The instructions show you attaching the bottom and top cabinets together while lying flat on the floor. We tried this and the anchor bolts ripped out when we tried to lift it back to vertical. I'd attach the bottom to the top while it's standing. This is all MDF - if we ever move this will be going in the dumpster - there's no way it would survive being moved once built- I couldn't get the bottom doors to align - they overlap. If you match up the door edges and close them together there's enough play in the hinges that they'll close tightly that way.- the keyboard tray has a seam right where you would typically use a mouse, meaning you are moving your mouse over two pieces of wood, one of which is about 1/16" higher than the other. I'll fix this with a mouse pad- your keyboard naturally wants to sit right were the two hinges and handle screws are, so it won't sit flat- leg room isn't ideal with the bottom doors closedEven knowing all this I likely would have bought this anyway - the price was reasonable and it does clean up our guest bedroom

Awesome cabinet. Great storage. Neat and sturdy

I purchased this to replace an older computer cabinet that is slightly smaller.Upon arrival, there were some parts missing, and one piece that had minor damage on it. I used the manufacturer's website to order the missing parts, and a replacement for the damaged one. But since they only have office hours Monday through Friday, I don't know how long it will take to get them. I was able to find replacements locally for the missing parts, and decided to go ahead and build it anyway while I wait for the replacement parts.So now for the bad news.The way they have designed this unit, in order to keep the packaging small enough so that truck freight is not required, makes for a very weak final build.They have split the unit into an upper and lower half instead of using full height sides, and the way that the top and bottom portions are connected is extremely weak, using only two cam-lock pegs on each side. Then to make matters worse, the back panels, that are used to stabilize the unit from racking, are also split into two pieces, with only a plastic spine that slides in between them to prevent them from separating where they come together in the center. This does not give the unit the same stability as a single piece would, and the completed unit flexes side to side very easily.I will probably replace the four individual back panels with a single, sturdier piece of 1/4" material.There is no hole through the fixed shelf between the upper and lower section (the one just above the keyboard drawer).So if you need to have any cables running between the upper and lower sections, the cables must exit the upper section through one of the holes in the back panels, and then enter one of the holes in the lower section.I'm not sure if the designer is lazy, or if he just forgot that a lot of computer peripherals come with ridiculously short cables, so having to thread them in and out of the cabinet sections uses up valuable inches of cable very quickly.Another terrible design choice, was to use 90 degree hinges for the doors. Take a good look at the first picture of the unit, the way the doors are shown, sticking straight out, is as far as they open. This is meant for a person to sit in front of, in order to use a computer, the doors should open at least 170 degrees for this type of furniture.There is just no way to work sitting at this unit, with the doors hovering inches away from your head. So I made a trip to the local big box supplier (the orange one), and picked up replacement hinges, so now the doors open a full 170 degrees.Overall, they way this unit is constructed, it just looks sloppy. And while it's true that you get what you pay for, I must point out that the cabinet that this is replacing, which was half the cost, is actually much better constructed, and when new, looked better than the new unit.Which brings us to the general appearance, which is fair to poor. While I wasn't expecting perfection in furniture in this price range, this unit actually managed to lower my expectations even more.It is 1/2" particle board with some sort of printed paper, or vinyl glued on in an attempt to make it look like finished wood. Well lets just say that whatever it is that was printed, looks about as far from wood as you can get. In fact, I've seen depictions of wood in a child's coloring book that look more realistic.In a few places, the printed paper or vinyl does not run all then way to the edge, and you can see the particle board.So to sum it all up, I really cannot recommend this product at all.It's poorly designed, poorly manufactured, and is definitely not worth half of what it sells for.

The media could not be loaded. I put this together self and it did me a long time. But I had organized everything so I could find hardware etc easily. I took my time as I M good at stripping screws and putting them in crooked. I took breaks too. My back was happy for that. I had to adjust and play with the door hinges to make the doors even. Also has realized that I had put the keyboard drawer together wrong and had to redo. The instructions were not badI had reviewed them before starting. They did not show that the extension glides needed to be pulled apart, but I figured that out. All and all it was not bad. I'm eased and works for me.

It is a smart idea but it’s very not sturdy!! It shakes and it’s on a flat surface. The assembaly was a bit confusing but overall it’s not bad
