Tvilum Walden Desk with 5 Drawers, Oak Structure

I am very happy with this desk that we bought for our 6 year old daughter's bedroom. I didn't expect much based on the price and the poor reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The most common complaints I saw in the negative reviews on Amazon and other sites was that pieces were damaged or missing, and the instructions were hard to follow. I didn't have any of these issues. The desk came very well packaged and there was no damage. There were no missing parts and I actually had a little bit of extra hardware. The instructions were all pictures but all the pieces were labeled and I had no problem following the directions. I would suggest getting a big work area and laying all the pieces out before you start. It took me about an hour to put it together.. Overall the desk feels like good quality considering the price and I would recommend it.

Had this for one room and the kids liked it so much I had to order another. The build is quality and the storage is nice. The only small down side is that the drawers don't pull out that far. Kids don't seem to mind and they keep using them.

So I bought this because I do my own nails and have to many products. So I needed a nice desk to work at. It’s super cute (except for the bottom piece I put on backwards.) I like the space in the draws and the fact there’s a lock on the main drawer. The desk it’s self is nice but the assembly is long and confusing. It took me 3 hours(by myself) I had to download an app because the paper instructions made no sense. It’s a good sturdy desk all in all but be prepared to get frustrated.

I’ve put together a LOT of cheap self assembly furniture in my life, but this takes the cake as the cheapest and flimsiest piece I’ve ever put my hands on. Which is not what I expected when the boxes arrived and said “made in Denmark”. Give me China furniture any day over this. Don’t get me wrong, I did order this because it was the cheapest option I could find because my thought process was “if I’m going to pay for cheap melamine furniture, I might as well not pay any more than I have to.” That, however, was a thought I had under the assumption that self assembly furniture can only cut so many corners, and I was wrong. To give an example, the drawers are held together by press fit plastic pins. The twist lock fasteners do not lock very confidently, and I had to use my own screws to attach the back piece where your feet go because the twist lock holes were not drilled to the proper spacing and couldn’t be engaged. This company would do well to spend more time on their quality insurance and a couple more scents worth of hardware than in providing 3D instructions on an app that I didn’t even use because it’s faster to use the paper directions. Skip the app, and get rid of the plastic, and double check your milling settings for part SP.It took so long to assemble, I was questioning if I should have just picked up some wood and made desks from scratch.Lastly, the only piece that was damaged, was, of course, the top of the top. The most inconvenient place to have a non smooth surface and the most noticeable.

The media could not be loaded. I understand some of the mixed reviews because mine did come damaged however it was small and was luckily hidden by the drawers. The assembly did take a while but I did it by myself and it is labeled a two person job. Despite all that being said I am definitely happy with the outcome exactly what I expected!

I was trying to save money as a broke college student. I really needed a desk so I could do my work on it. Bought this thinking it was going to be a steal. However, it is EXTREMELY difficult to build. Took me over 6 hours. Pieces came broken, I may need to fix it with wood glue. They forgot to give me my other two handles so I’m going to have to go buy me a whole set at the hardware store. Handles are cheap plastic anyways. It’s cute but I don’t even know if it’s worth it. If you want to buy it, keep in mind it may come damaged and you will be spending hours on the assembly just for a cheaper desk. It may be in your interest to save your money for a better quality one. I had to rig this several times. It tells you not to use power tools but they didn’t even drill the holes deep enough or even half decent. I’m not sure how long this will last. I’m grateful for what I have though, just thought to share my struggles with this.

Smaller than I thought, drawers r not deep.But overall good desk

After a big effort and following the app and manual instruction it was easy to assemble. The only issue I had was to place the top all together, because I was doing on my own. But after all it came pretty beautiful. Time spent: 3 hours and a half with interval breaks.
