ZINUS Jennifer 55 Inch White Frame Desk, Computer Workstation, Office Desk, Easy Assembly, Brown

This desk is sturdy, easy to assemble, appears just as described, and very reasonably priced in my opinion. When I arrived home from work and saw the very large box this came in, I was a bit nervous the desk itself might have been damaged because the box did not look very good. But I know how shipping goes sometimes, so I was hopeful the desk was in good shape. I should preface the rest of my comments with the fact that I am an accountant at a manufacturing company. I pay attention to all things associated with getting a product I ordered and how they end up being executed as promised when I placed the order versus delivery. Including things like packaging, installation instructions (if applicable), shipping time, condition at delivery, and of course the product itself. I was more than pleasantly surprised when I opened this box. The condition of the box was no indication of the condition of the components of the desk inside that box. It is very apparent that this company is aware of how it's product travels and the conditions it will have to make it through to arrive to their customer in the same condition it left their building. Not only because it is a sturdy product to start with, but also because they meticulously package the components with the proper packaging materials to ensure it can travel securely and safely through all shipping environments it might encounter. All the screws were in a sealed and labeled plastic package with perforated lines on the backside for easy opening. Additionally, the end part of that package was labeled as spare parts, also sealed separately. I cut that entire end piece off with a pair of common household scissors so I could keep that in one piece in the kitchen drawer. Having the spare parts sealed on the end of the package was brilliant and very user friendly. A ratchet comes with the desk to assist with assembly. The ratchet is attached to a piece of cardboard with a clever message on the backside of the cardboard. The quality of this tool is outstanding. It is now part of my toolbox and normally little tools that come with items for assembly get thrown away after use. The instructions for assembly were easy to read and simple to follow. I put the desk together myself and found it simple to do with as the tools and instructions provided were exact and easy to execute. My desk looks like the picture in the product I ordered. Finally, there was another envelope included that is what really made me write this review, which is the first one I've ever done for any product, ever. The message on the inside of that envelope exuded to me the culture of the company that I bought this desk from. I could feel it through that message, so much that I took all the pieces of this packaging and showed the owners of my company. I am so impressed with my experience with this product that I'm still talking to people about it.....and it's a desk! I would never have imagined being this impressed with a furniture company, more because of the packaging with care of their product than the actual product itself (which is really amazing too), to feel this compelled to write all this about a desk......

I’m utterly in love with this desk! It’s such visually nice wood and the desk is so sleek. It only took me about 10 minutes to put together; and that’s because I was moving slow and taking my time. Literally only 5 main pieces to put together (minus the few screws included). The desk is sturdy and is holding my 32” monitor on its monitor arm just fine along with my laptop and other office items. This is my dream desk as a college student! Definitely worth the price, so buy it!

good sturdy desk easy to put together nice quality

Perfect desk for me!!! I'm able to fit all of my desk items on the surface, fit my trash can, file case, and paper shredder underneath! The height is perfect, just enough space for my legs to go under so I can push my chair in. It wasn't hard to assemble at all, and I'm just so happy that I have more space!!!

I have 3 of these tables, which I think says enough. It's a nice looking table for a good price. It's a firm table top that's rich in color, secured with a stable steel frame and it's stylish. I'm an avid PC gamer and I often work from home, so it's important to have a steady table to support my monitors and desktop. My cat also jumps up on the table, and he's a big boi, so I'd prefer to have something I feel won't topple over or wiggle. I am picky on my furniture and the color the wood. I'm also tall, 5'9, and I have plenty of room for a stool, my legs and a trashcan to all fit without nudging or feeling tight. I've not had any issues with these tables arriving scratched, dented or missing pieces. All of the holes have aligned and the setup has been super easy. They also include some little grips for the metal edges. I have wooden floors so that's a plus. The only thing that I was a little wary of was the last table I received was a bit more wiggly than usual. I couldn't identify where it was unstable, though it doesn't seem to be affecting anything for the time being. Also, something that confused me and just personally made me frown, was the bag that had the screws, instructions, etc. in was torn open from the bottom. I worked several years for a company where we packed items for customers and I would have never sent an open bag (torn from the bottom...) to them. To me that's a sign that this was already used, perhaps one that was attached to a table that was returned (the customer opened backwards even though it has a ziploc end... which happens way too frequently and a red flag of return or sloppiness). If they had at least put it in another bag, even if it didn't match the product itself or what I had gotten in the past, that would have been fine. Really it's just a sign of quality control. The package was pretty beat up when I got it. I was worried that the table would be damaged, but to my surprise it was well enough protected to where it came out just fine. I know that's not necessarily the seller's fault and more so the people who are being careless with their deliveries. It's a big table, but it wouldn't hurt to have a little extra padding on the front and back of the box, rather than just attached to the corners and the metal frame. I will definitely buy these tables again as long as they continue to hold up. I've heard some not okay things about Zinus' customer service; however, as long as the tables keep arriving in wonderful condition, I won't have to deal with that, ha!

So, a quick over view of the desk. I bought the 55 inch Espresso colored one, and it is exactly as advertised. It was extremely easy to put together, basically the metal pieces slot together, and the top is bolted on to the frame. If you have a nice open space, should take under 20 minutes to assemble, so simple the instructions aren't even needed, and how many times can you say that about flat pack furniture? It is also very solid and sturdy; no wobbling, buckling, or bending of any kind, and the faux wood top is smooth, solid, and water resistant. I wouldn't use it as a step stool for fear the top might break, but this should have no problem whatsoever holding 50+ pounds. Beautifully fits my computer and two 22 inch monitors. So, the table itself is excellent quality for it's price, definitely worth the buy, but I want to add a bit about Zinus. This is the second piece of furniture I have bought from Zinus. The first was a metal bed frame about a year ago, and I have been very happy with it. I just feel it is worth mentioning the little things that make me appreciate this company over others I have bought flat packs from. 1. The packaging. The packaging is simple, and unremarkable, with one very appreciated small touch; the foam they used came in a plastic bag. If you've ever gotten furniture packed in this kind of foam, you have probably been greeted by a bunch of little white foam bits flying everywhere when you open the box, as well as it clinging to you and everything in the box. It's a mess and very annoying. Because Zinus puts their foam in a bag before packing, it means that it stays in the bag if it breaks apart. No mess, no extra clean up. Nice touch. 2. Quality rubber feet. Most furniture that sits on the ground comes with little pads that you stick to the bottom to prevent damaging your floors. They are usually thin, don't provide much grip, and don't stick well. The pads provided with this are THICK rubber which provide a lot of padding and grip on hard floors, but are also rigid and sticky enough that they actually stay on if you slide the desk a little bit. 3. Included Ratcheted Allen Wrench, as opposed to the basic L-shaped wrench included with every other piece of furniture ever. Honestly, it's not needed here, as there are a total of 12 bolts to screw, and they are all very easy to get to, but Zinus actually spent the extra few cents to include a ratcheted allen wrench to make screwing in the bolts a tiny bit easier. Admittedly, all of these things are fairly minor and ultimately, don't necessarily affect the ultimate question, "Is it a good desk?" But, these are the kind of thoughtful little things that I believe no where near enough companies do, and shows they actually put additional thought into customer satisfaction above and beyond simply giving you what you paid for. And I think that deserves praise.

I moved to a new apartment and needed a desk that was long enough to fit both of my monitors plus keyboard/mouse/assorted tech stuff. I had heard others recommend the BEKANT desk from Ikea, but I felt it was a bit too pricey, plus with Ikea's physical stores being closed due to COVID, I would only be able to get it shipped and their shipping times were longer than I cared to wait (they estimated that my order would ship in 2 months). I ended up coming across the Zinus Jennifer and ordered the 63-inch version sort of on a whim; I'm glad I did! The table was nicely flat-packed so that I could carry the box up the narrow staircase to my apartment. Setup was super duper quick and simple with all tools being included in the box. The desk is very sturdy and stable in my use of it so far - it doesn't wobble or buckle or anything like that. I'm sure I could even put my beefy gaming PC on the desk and it would have no issue supporting it. You could probably fit 3 24-inch monitors in landscape orientation on this desk as long as you don't mind the edges of the displays hanging off the table. If you need drawers or storage, you can easily fit a drawer or cabinet underneath the desk with clearance to spare. I also really like the minimalist/modern look of the desk, and I think that the "natural wood" tabletop provides a nice contrast to my computer gear. I'm very happy with this purchase!

All negative reviews are people who went way over the100lb weight limit estimate or people who's came with shipping damage. These tables are amazing as computer desks. My PC weighs just shy of 45lbs, my monitor weighs 30lbs, and the rest weighs about 10lbs. This table can hold that plus me (140lbs) no problem. Of course, after weeks of that it would start to bow in the middle, but not break. They can probably hold an evenly distributed 150lbs safely (just an estimate). The table feels very sturdy and solid and is easy to put together (though you might need 2 people for the larger version). The tables are also quite heavy, but not so heavy that it makes them impossible to move alone. I got two of the Espresso black ones and one of the shorter Espresso ones. They look so professional as office desks. The best part about them is that the color is a near-true Espresso that retains the wood grain appearance. That means that predominantly black computer equipment will not blend in, causing an "all-blackout" look that seems a bit dated. These are perfect for black-colored computer equipment. Grab the color that matches your equipment best. Since these tables are wood, you can drill accessories from IKEA into them if you want. They will hold it. They are also just tall enough for coffee tables and small drawers to fit under. I used to have two tables in my 12'x12' office. After removing some unwanted furniture, I have more space in the room and more desk space as opposed to my older tables. - The tables will NOT ship in 2 days, even on Prime (at least for the central CA valley). Mine shipped in 5, which was fine. - My table came with small amounts of shipping damage (in pics). It was so insignificant I didn't bother returning. Yours may vary. - I am 5' 3" and if I had a better chair, these tables would be amazing for my height. - These tables are heavy enough to not wobble on thicc carpet like some cheaper, lighter ones. - The surface of the table is not perfectly flat. Doesn't matter for writing & drawing. Not so good as drafting tables. Overall I will probably buy another one for my room, or put it in the garage. I wasn't even supposed to keep the third short one I got but I liked the build quality so much I found space for it!
