Garbage disguised as a desk

First, it was delivered leaning up against my door, so I had to call a neighbor to come to move it so it wouldn't fall. Second, it looked like it was dragged behind the truck getting here. Third,I was almost finished when I discovered that several key pieces were mislabeled; it was a waste of several hours. Once again, I contacted Lowes. No discount, no help, unwilling to help return it. I am done with Lowes anymore. They have garbage customer service and garbage items. Never buy anything from t...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This allen + roth Industrial Pipe Desk has a distressed brown finish on a dark grey metal pipe frame. It looks good and feels strong and functional. The two front drawers provide storage to keep the desk area neat and clean. The drawers shelves open and close easily and are strong and sturdy. The size of the desktop is just right - enough space for a computer and room to spread out paperwork. The leg bottoms are covered with round metal disks w...

Don't recommend

I've built many items from Lowes abd this is the absolute worst. There were spots where the drilled holes did not line up or go completely through to where they could meet the cam bolts, the hardware was loose in the package and after assembling I turned it right side up to see that a Dowell rod, which was placed in its correct location without having used any tools, as per the directions, had cracked through the top of the desk. Pain to put together and not worth the money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The industrial look of the desk is nice and modern, but the feel of the desk itself was not as smooth as I would like. It felt kinda thin and not strong. The two drawers had nice handles that made them easy to grab and open, though I wish they had a soft close feature. The drawers themselves have a good size of depth and width to store office items and papers. The width of the desk is sufficient but a little more depth would have been nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The A+R Pipe Desk has a nice industrial look with the pipes, but looks nice with the distressed brown finished wood top. The 2 full extension shelves look and feel great with the gray handles and the soft close door hinges work smoothly. I like the depth of the desk for working with a laptop, but it would be harder to comfortably fit something like a bigger desktop and keyboard without getting cramped. The build is stable and feels like it is w...

Wrong pieces

I put the entire desk together, and then realized that one piece for the one drawer was cut incorrectly or was the incorrect part. They said they know there is a problem reported with that desk, but they can't fix the problem online.

Nice, solid desk if you need something simple

Got the desk because I already had two of the other pieces in the set (5-tier bookshelf and the 2-tier wall shelf) and wanted my work-from-home desk to match the rest of the furniture. Only complaint (small one) is that the assembly doesn't allow for you to switch the shelf to the opposite side, so you're stuck with it being on the left. Otherwise though, it feels sturdy and looks great with the other pieces in the set. Very happy with the purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The desk is a nice medium size perfect for a small office area. The desktop is a good size to fit a desktop computer or laptop along with other supplies. It also has 2 nice size drawers that is perfect for more office supplies. It has dark gray metal finishes. The wood finish is a nice traditional wood color and has a nice minimal rough texture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This desk looks really cool with the wood design and the pipe store legs. It reminds me of a cabin in the woods. I like that it has two spacious drawers. There is lots of space on top and I like how the finish of the wood feels textured too. The drawers slide well and the desk feels sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This looks like it would be insanely high quality from afar but upon opening the drawers and simply feeling the top of the desk you right away see it seems like painted thin 2x4 pieces of fake wood. It just feels really flimsy and unstable.
