Based on 285 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 215 relevant Google reviews of this desk from the last 8 months (after excluding 15), the dominant pattern is disputed damage charges at return, often for small marks under the bumper or on wheels. Reviewers also report pressure to buy the desk's own cover, bookings not honoured as made, and a hard-to-find return point. Many other travellers report new, clean cars, quick service and fast deposit refunds, and web sources point the same way, though mostly undated or older.
