Ocke U-Shaped Executive Desk with Power Outlet

gorgeous desk

First, get the white one. The black finish has the scratch resistance of a very hard cheese and the three heavy boxes the desk is shipped in do very little to protect the finish (mine arrived pre-scratched in a few places). The desk also says it's "reversible" which is only partially true: one side of the "U" is much wider than the other and the hutch only mounts to the narrower side of the "U", but you *can* pick the side of the desk that will be narrower. Don't try to assemble it if you're a novice. I'm an expert of many furniture builds and I had lots of questions here and there. The instructions caution you against using power tools; this advice should be torn from the manual and burned in short ceremony attended by the one to two other people whose help you'll need to hold and move parts and assemblies into position. You will also need a power screwdriver (or drill) set to very high torque and low rotation speed. Getting the various assemblies to line up square will be a challenge. Unless you assemble the drawers *perfectly*, the drawer lock can be defeated by the advanced burglary technique of "tug on it a bit harder". And finally, you will probably have to put the keyboard drawer at the back of the "U". The mount points for the left or right sides are just bizarre, partially tucked under the back of the "U", and so only useful if you are an alien with one arm longer than the other. All that said, once the desk is together, it feels extremely solid and aside from the scratches looks quite attractive. The drawer and cabinet hardware are first-rate, and it can be disassembled for moving with a surprisingly low number of steps. The holes for cables are thoughtfully placed and the covers for these holes are also very attractive and useful, as is the single plug/double USB power port, which can be mounted in any of five different locations around the desk. So call it 3.5 stars, downgraded to three because I *really* wanted that keyboard drawer on the right side of the desk and there's no comfortable way for me to have it there.

I don’t like leaving a low rating. This is more for Wayfairs execution than the desk. I ordered a U desk and when it was delivered, it was delivered with only 2 of the 3 sections. It’ll be about 2 months until I get the remaining section delivered. I felt bad for the installation guy they contracted out, because it took him over 2 hours and he complained and showed me that he was paid 20 and I ended up giving him a cash tip because I felt bad. After already paying an installation fee. I just wanted my desk that I ordered, and didn’t want to wait 2 months after it was “delivered” to have it. I now also paid for installation and will have to install the last portion myself. Wayfair support offered a 10 discount on my next purchase… the drawers were also installed crooked and I had to fix them myself

This desk is awesome! It was shipped in two separate boxes and had clear instructions. We were however missing the drawer bottoms for the two drawers, but after a call to Wayfair, they had them sent out and we received them quickly. It is good quality and my husband loves it. 

So much space! Fits all of my monitors easily!
