 Not GreatFeb 10, 2010
By Justin
"Justin"
I remodled a home office and purchased several pieces of this "do it yourself" furniture. This piece was by far the biggest disappointment.
Pros - thick (1.5" !) top and sides, nice width so your legs don't bang into the drawers, drawers can be mounted to either side. The color is nice, desk itself seems heavy & sturdy.
Cons - the cheap vinyl finish! For a desk this sturdy, the finish is absolutely feeble. Will flake & scratch quite easily. Drawers are also extremely flimsy and the top drawer is too shallow to fit a CD or DVD, which is annoying. Also, because it's heavy and tall, it is very wobbly on plush carpet. Won't be as much of a factor on hardwood floors. Plus, at 30" high, it's not ideal for a computer desk unless you have a raised chair or are very tall.
I was so disappointed, I almost got rid of this desk immediately. As I mentioned, I purchased other pieces of furniture of this caliber from other manufacturers and they were much nicer than this. Expensive return costs prevented me from returning the desk so I ended up working around the problems (by screwing the desk to the wall for stability & using a marker & wood glue to patch the marred finish). Would not buy again, would not recommend to anyone that spends a lot of time at their desk. The finish will not stand up long-term.

not bad, but not great.Oct 16, 2010
By Raphael
Not a bad desk, but it scratches VERY easily (make sure you assemble it on a bedsheet or a blanket or it will be scratched by the time you're done.
Also, the assembly took FOREVER. Seriously, this thing must have over 150 screws. The instructions were quite complicated and sometimes counter-intuitive (no written instructions, just pictures and diagrams.)

 heavy and difficult to assembleMay 11, 2009
By Joseph C. Perrigoue
This is a nice desk, however, it is difficult to assemble. Also, one of my pieces had the holes drilled on the wrong side. The company would have fixed it, but I didn't want to wait for a replacement, so I assembled it as well as possible with what I had. It is still sturdy, and overall a nice desk.

 Poor Quality - Don't Waste Your MoneyJun 10, 2011
By vegasmom
"vegasmom"
Several pieces were broken when I received this desk. However, customer service was very helpful and the replacement parts arrived in a timely manner (about 1 week).
And when we finally put the desk together, the drawers didn't completely align and therefore tends to stick. I'm very unhappy with this product and I will be sure not to purchase this brand again. IKEA and Target sell much better quality pieces.

good quality desk, but missing holesJul 01, 2010
By N. Bhut
The overall quality of the desk is good, is heavy and sturdy, but the bottom of the main wood panel where the drawer attaches (you can attach it on left or right side) did not have any holes. I had to drill them myself. I would expect holes to be drilled on both sides so I could select the side and screw the drawer in.
