JYSK ASTRUP 60X120 CM

Pros

• Easy assembly: Commonly mentioned as easy and quick to assemble, requiring minimal tools (a hex key is included; screws are sometimes missing). One review mentioned assembly time of a few minutes.
• Lightweight and portable: Suitable for small spaces, apartments, or transport on public transport.
• Good value for money: Frequently praised for its price (€40 commonly mentioned), especially considering its ease of assembly and appearance. Several reviewers highlight the good price-to-quality ratio.
• Attractive design: Described as aesthetically pleasing and looking good, matching online images. One reviewer bought 10 units.
• Suitable for specific uses: Praised as a good desk for make-up, a child''s room, or a teenager''s gaming setup (with caveats about stability).

Cons

• Lack of stability: This is the most common criticism. The desk is described as unstable, wobbly, shaky, and prone to wobbling, even with light use such as typing or writing. This instability is attributed to thin materials (described as thin sheet metal).
• Weak structure: The structure is considered too weak to support heavier items (10-15 kg mentioned as a potential limit).
• Fingerprint marks: The matte black finish shows fingerprints and marks easily, requiring frequent cleaning.
• Missing screws: At least one review reported that the packaging was missing the necessary screws for assembly.
• Pre-drilled holes issues: At least one reviewer reported problems with pre-drilled holes in the desk being incorrectly positioned.
• Minor damage: One review mentioned receiving a desk with minor scratches.

Comments

The desk''s suitability depends heavily on intended use. While praised for its ease of assembly, lightweight nature, and visual appeal, its structural weakness and instability are significant drawbacks. It''s likely suitable for lighter tasks and as a space-saving option for those who do not require a highly stable work surface. It may be suitable for a child''s room or as a make-up desk, but less so as a workstation for heavy use or gaming. The issue of missing screws highlights a potential quality control problem.
