To Whom is interested.This post is quite lengthy but has a couple tips to help putting this thing together. One hint (instructions) is actually from the seller.Other than 2 major issues it went together pretty smoothly. Even with these problems it took me combined time of 5 hours. If I took out the problems I could have put this together in 3 hours easilyFirst my thoughts:It took me several months to decide on this unit. Even with some of the negatives in the posts. I finally took the plunge. I gave this a 4 star cause it's actually a nice looking unit when together. I wanted something nice to work off & my old 20yr old desk from Walmart was looking the age for sure. I'm happy with it so far & it turned out as expected.Now for some of the helpful hints.If you have one of those Phillips Screwdriver with the big broad head that you usually never use, USE it. It works well on the twist locks. Regular Phillips sometimes strips the metal locks1. This comes in 4 boxes 2 cubicle & 2 long.I got 3 one day & 4th the next.2. Open one box at a time & assemble that section. Then go to the next. Starting with the 2 smaller cubicle first. These are the drawers. There is a lot of pieces but they are marked. Just follow directions & it will go smoothly. After the first smaller box the 2nd is a wiz. They all come with extra hardware which I like & just in case.If a hole looks clogged get a small screw driver or toothpick & try sticking it in to see if it's just saw dust. I ran into this a couple times.Otherwise all mine were drilled & in the right spots.3. Big Hint #1. Box #3The dreaded keyboard drawer. Instructions are vague. Says just pop it in & Bam your done. Not necessarily so. I had issues. I literally had ball bearings going everywhere. Don't panic, they can be put back in.a. There is 2 black pieces in the rail on desk that keep those bearing rails from coming out. You can remove these bumpers (pop out with a knife or small flathead) to get those rails out. Be careful, you'll have to put 1 bearing in at a time as you slide the rail back into bracket. When done put the black plastic bumper back in place but if you try this next hint first you may not have to worry about it.b. I called the seller & they sent me instructions to put the keyboard drawer in. They say use a screwdriver (long slender flathead I suggest) and hold the bearing rails as you slide the drawer in. Well you can't technically just hold it from the bottom but you can slide it in behind the drawer. I'd use 2 screwdrivers (1 on each side) but word of warning. They will only go so far cause the handle will jam the screwdriver.My suggestion & what I used was 2 standard butter knives. With the drawer started but not fully pushed in do this:c. Place the knife handle side in the narrow gap between drawer & desk, behind those bearing rails.d. Push the blade end to the board on the back of the desk. Might want to put a 2x4/2x2 between blade & board & put desk against something solid or lay back side on floor with a 2x4 between that back board piece & wall/floor. Floor would be better. This will support that desk board from breaking plus keep the knives from damaging that desk board. Push drawer till the clips catch & drawer stops moving in. May have to put some umph or palm hit it to go in. This was the biggest complication I had with this thing. The door in general use goes in so far & with some resistance pops in & also when you pull it out. It isn't stuck or sticking. It's the way it is.4. Box #4. The hutch. Ok this was challenging also. Not sure but had trouble with the twist locks not staying locked. They acted like the head was not extended in far enough to lock. After some bent and even breaking a couple twist locks I got it together. After, I wished I had went back and screwed those lock screws back a 1/4-1/2 turn to see if it helped. I wouldn't much more than that or you would loose grip on those screws in the wood. Just a thought. Anyways other than that I have one hint to help unless you have 4 people helping you hold all this together by their instructions (I put it together by myself). Do steps in order as I list.1,3,4,2,5,6,7,8,9.Do 2 after 4. It can be done & also gives you better access to a couple of the lock screws. When you get to 2 after 4 place the unit face down on floor and piece the backing together and then do step 5 which will lock it all together. I battled with this (step 2) backing for a hour before I finally removed it & finished the next couple steps (3&4). Once you put the top on it & screw it to the desk it will be totally locked together.Sad some lady got screwed over by a handyman that took him 12 hrs. REALLY? Sorry to say He scammed you.Lady without the keyboard drawer cause bearings fell out. They can be put back in.Read more

Excellent customer service. Great packaging. The unit comes in four boxes, each 60-70lbs, with individual instructions. The finished, empty, desk weighs over 200lbs - buy sliders (8) to put under the feet, as you assemble, so you can move it around. Allow at least one whole day to unpack and assemble. Color was not as per photo - more orangey than tawny. The desk top did not fit. A replacement was shipped. But that did not fit either. Ended up sawing off 1/4" from the underside rails myself. Am I happy with the desk - pretty much, yes. Is it worth $750 - not convinced. However, it appears as good as, or better than, anything else I saw online.

Fairly easy to put together, although some of the "sides" of the wood pieces could have been labeled better as to which side should face out/in for easier connectivity--especially when trying to attach the hutch part after the main desk was put together. Had some pieces inside out, but was not going to take everything apart again. Fortunately the pre-drilled holes were not in a visible place. AND, the color was not exactly what was pictured. Mine came a bit more reddish than brown/early american, but it still looks nice where I have it.

I purchased this instead of the less expensive brands because it is in my living room and is the first thing you see when you walk in. That being said, the right pedestal went together perfectly and I was thrilled. The left pedestal went together with minimal problems. I then assembled the desk together. When I put the drawer in on the left hand side it went in without a hitch but will not come back out. I called about it and they didn't seem to know what I could do about it other than completely disassembling the desk and removing the hutch. The keyboard drawer would not go all the way in. After several attempts the slides (which do not have wheels but small ball bearings in the slides) lost all the ball bearings on one side. They cannot be put back in. Customer service sent me new slides and I installed them. Exactly the same problem, even though I was very careful to not force or jam anything. The drawer went part way in and just stopped with about an inch of the slide still sticking out. When I removed the drawer to try again, the ball bearings fell out of the slide. This is a very poor drawer system and I am now stuck with a desk that has one non-working drawer on the left side and no keyboard drawer to put the laptop. I have left messages with customer service but no one calls me back. I am very unhappy.

I was looking for a home office desk and needed something with plenty of storage (i..e. a hutch, file drawers, and workspace but not too big a footprint. Had hunted many furniture stores, both new and 2nd hand and could not find anything to meet my needs or was affordable and in descent condition.Found this desk on-line from several retailers at various prices. With taxes I paid around $700 for this deskShipment was perfectly on-time and well packaged so no damage. There was quite a bit of assembly time/effort to build the desk. Instructions were clear, but the actual fit of some of the parts was not so great. The back panels were difficult to install as there was some warppage of the parts, and the dimensional tolerances were a little sloppy. With the help of a 4-foot pipe clamp, and a little glue, I was able to hold it all together and complete he assembly. Some of the threaded fasteners didn't fit well because the lead threads had been buggered up at the factory install. Consistency of the fitted parts left the drawer faces a little out of alignment from drawer to drawer. The color of the finish was fine, but the surface of the exterior surfaces should have been sanded a little bit more, and more consistently across the surface, especially the desktop. The desk is solid wood and very very heavy. Once assembled, you'll need a piano dolly to move it. The desk is functional, however, overall, I think the desk was priced a couple hundred bucks too high for what you get.Read more
