Looks Great, But Not Built to Last
"Unfortunately, I’ve had the same issue with two Mocka desks now. The latest desk was assembled correctly and then only gently moved around 30cm to align it where my son wanted it in his bedroom. During the move, the desk became unstable and the structure/joins were not strong enough to handle even this very minor repositioning. I had to purchase additional brackets and modify/reinforce the desk myself to make it secure. What is particularly disappointing is that exactly the same thing happened with the Mocka desk we purchased for our daughter a few years ago. For context, I’m a qualified mechanic and have renovated houses, caravans and completed landscaping work, so I’m very comfortable with assembling and building things. I’m confident this is not an issue with my assembly ability. The design may look good and the desks are reasonably priced, but in my experience the structural strength and durability of the construction are disappointing. I shouldn’t have to buy additional hardware and modify a brand-new desk simply because it needs to be moved a short distance."
