Modway Render Mid-Century Modern Writing Desk in Walnut

Gorgeous desk! Very lovely wood sturdy easy to put together piece of furniture! I was going by a desk from West Elm that was $695 and I saw this and I am so happy!

Great desk if you’re looking for something that’s not too wide! quality is nice and it seems pretty sturdy so far. My only complaint would be that putting it together was a bit of a pain, lol. LOTS of pieces. would’ve been much smoother with some extra help but i was able to pull it off:)

The look, touch, and feel of this desk are all high quality. This is not a typical shiny vinyl-coated desk. It has a very classy, wood finish to it. Much like an IKEA product, you will of course have to assemble many pieces. But unlike IKEA, each and every piece is numbered and the instructions are simple and straightforward to follow. Very happy with the assembled product.

I really love how this desk looks (and I even have a matching media cabinet which I also love) but have two issues with it - one of which apparently can be quite dangerous. 1) because of how the desk is assembled with the legs, it cuts off about two inches of space for my legs- im only a 5’11 guy this is VERY ANNOYING as it’s totally wasted dead space, and means my legs barely fit underneath. I even tried to get a shorter than normal chair, and that didn’t help much so I’m having to get risers in order to sit properly. 2) THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE! I didn’t notice as much with the media cabinet because I wasn’t sitting at it all day, but this Is what’s called off-gassing - basically you can taste formaldehyde and who knows what other chemicals were used to press the wood and the little woof like texture they wrap it with ( which looks great, btw) when you sit at the desk. Over time this should decrease - but my god sometimes it’s downright foul and I have to move- not to mention this is very dangerous and can even give you cancer - at least that’s what all the research I’m finding says. I had no idea about this when I bought the desk and if I had I probably would have gotten something else- hopefully the smell dissipates soon as it’s really effecting my work as I don’t like to sit there for any period of time. Otherwise it’s a beautiful and sturdy- but the downsides make me wish I had found something else TBH.

Really nice desk, took a whileee to build, definitely use a power tool. All the screws/holes fit right. It’s comfortable to sit at but if you’re tall, this might not be for you because there’s a wood piece under the desk that touches the top of your legs, I’m 5ft and that’s a bit uncomfortable for me sitting at a reasonable height for my elbows on the table to type comfortably. Other than that it has a nice weight to it and I use the shelf for my second monitor and it’s a good height for it. It’s pretty good quality, no scratches yet. Worth it!

I absolutely love this desk. Its mid-century modern and looks so good in every room. The color is spot-on and it's quite big. Very sturdy and easy to assemble.

Beautiful desk for a modest price. It isn't real wood but it looks beautiful and seems to be sturdy. Instructions were very detailed but assembly pretty complex.

I would be giving this desk a five star review if not for the 2 1/2 inch piece of wood that juts down across the bottom of it and cuts into my legs. It makes it impossible to sit at this desk comfortably since there's essentially zero clearance for my knees. It's incredibly frustrating because I love the desk otherwise- it looks great and seems well made considering its not real wood. I spent quite a bit of time putting it together and now I have to take it apart to return it. That stupid piece of wood that sticks out at the bottom doesn't even do anything. If this was designed properly it wouldn't be a problem at all.
