"adjustable desk"

adjustable desk. It's transformed my workspace and improved my overall well-being.

"Nice desk"

Nice desk, easy to setup.

Downside, their communication is all written by AI which I hate.

"It took me forever to assemble the desk…"

It took me forever to assemble the desk and by the end the desk is still 10% unfinished. It was a big struggle when drilling the screws even with an electric screwer. It was almost impossible for some of the screws to drill completely why the desk is 10% unfinished.

The product is not at all premium quality! The surface of the desk feels rough and not at all quality material. I placed a water cup on top of the desk and after removing it there is a mark left and the color have changed. I would suggest that you spend your money somewhere else! This is definitely not worth the price!

"Nice company, but lots of improvements to be made"

OAKO is a new company that shows promise, but there is room for significant improvement. The desks have an appealing appearance, and the team at OAKO consists of friendly individuals, which makes it perplexing why I would rate them only 2 out of 5 stars.

Before I purchased the desk, I reached out to OAKO to inquire whether my new (and expensive) monitor arm would be compatible with the desk. I provided them with the specifications, and they assured me it would fit perfectly. However, it turned out that it didn't fit for several reasons, which are the design of the desk and the possible attachment of a cable tray.

Additionally, you will receive a comprehensive email, marked with an abundance of red exclamation marks, which strongly advises against accepting the package if any (slight) damage is evident. Neglecting to follow this protocol leads to a nullified warranty. It gives the impression that OAKO is taking extensive precautions, though one may argue it appears somewhat excessive. Moreover, the packaging seemed notably minimal for an item making such a lengthy journey.

While the website stated a delivery timeframe of 20-25 days for the desk, unfortunately, mine took nearly 2 months to arrive and was incomplete upon delivery, with no communication in between. It took almost another month before the missing components finally arrived.

Even though the packaging wasn't damaged, the cable tray inside was. To their credit, they promptly refunded the cost of the tray.

Assembling the desk is a time-consuming and cumbersome process. It involves meticulous measuring, drawing, and calculations, which could be simplified. Additionally, the placement of the screw holes for the remote control to adjust the desk's height is extremely inconveniently placed and risks damaging the desk's side during installation.

The desk lacks stability, particularly when used as a standing desk. With a large monitor, there is noticeable screen vibration with every keystroke, even though my desk is on a solid floor and all screws are tightened. This was not an issue with my previous IKEA desk.

In summary, while the desk has an attractive appearance, it falls short of a premium quality product and is unfortunately not worth its price, even with a continuous 40 % discount.

"Some improvements are needed"

Update on Oct 23:

After I sent my complain they sent me a new desk top to replace the old one, this time they varnish the desk top for me (the same varnishing used for the alive desk) and it's so much better and more beautiful. They also help to drill the holes this time. Even though I think they could have send me some new screws because some old ones were damaged with previous installation, I still appreciate their efforts on trying to fix the mistakes.

--------------------------------------
After 2 months of waiting for the desk I received the package last week. I'm extremely unhappy about the product.

1. The desk is damage at the corner I checked the package when I received it and from outside it does not looks damage so we only found this out when we open it. The packaging is simple, the corner does not have enough protection to protect the corner at all so I imagine this happened pretty often.

2. The wood board does not have any holes and the screws are not sharp enough so its extremely difficult to build. I saw other comments complaining about this too but thought we will be fine as we have electric screwer. But even with that its hard to do. I hurt my finger when I build it. We spent 2.5 hours to build it.

3. I was cleaning the desk surface and I use a cleaning clothe with very little water to clean it, and the surface I cleaned became a different color, the original color on the surface was off, now I don't know what to do about it, it is very ugly with two different color.

4. The wood quality definitely is not the same as whats shown in the picture. Also the finishing of the wood feels very rough.

I sent my issues to the customer service email on August 24th and have not received any response until now August 29th. Not even a we received your questions email.

"Doesn't quite live up to the expectations"

For a 1000+ € desk, I'd expect some pre-drilled holes and a better finnish regarding the wood.

The electronics feel cheap and the overall sturdinness left a bit to be desired.

Otherwise it looks at feels nice. The desk felt steadier when carrying more weight.

"Worth the (slight) wait"

I ordered a 180cm by 80cm "Mahogany" desk at Oako. It took a few weeks to be delivered but the wait was WELL worth it.

The wood of the desk is just beautiful and very well made. It feels very smooth, even on corners and edges. When receiving the order I noticed immediately that the package containing the support for the desk was by far the heaviest. This makes for a very stable setup, even when the desk is extended all the way.

There was a slight damage to my cable tray which happend during transit. This was, just as all other communication, handled swift and accordingly.

I would highly recommend an Oakly desk as a functional eye-catcher for your place of work.

"I am really in love with my Oako Denmark Desk! 😍"

I am really in love with my Oako Denmark desk 😍 I use him for a couple of weeks now and it is such a beautiful desk for my office. I have the walnut finish and the electric motors work perfectly and pretty silent! The desk is at full height really sturdy and doesn't jiggle around like other brands I have tested out.

The wood finishing is beautiful and the assembling the desk was really easy!

5 out of 5 stars!

Kind regards,

Luke Bouwhuis

"Golden crust solid oak desk"

Ordered and received the golden crust solid oak desk in pristine condition. Customer service was helpful, and packaging sufficient. Can recommend getting one.

"I bought the "Mahogany" Solid OAK Desk"

I bought the "Mahogany" Solid OAK Desk. It came within four weeks, assembly was easy. The desk is absolutely gorgeous and I love using it every day. The surface is very delicate. My desk is a bit shaky when I move it to the standing position because of slightly uneven ground and I will have to find a way to make it a bit more stable. Never place cups or bowls directly on the the surface and use the guide OAKO provides so you can have a long relationship with your desk. I can highly recommend the desk and OAKO's great and responsive customer service.
