Okay first let me say this is VERY heavy-122Pounds! The color is also not as pictured on the website. More of a deep walnut brown color. The quality is mostly great. There were some edges of the boards that the finish had rubbed and minor imperfections were visibly, but only when inspecting it for damage. Overall I don't feel like it would be a deal breaker-nor would it be a glaring flaw that one would notice when using. The item was packaged well and came with parts and instructions to anchor it to the wall but I did not find it necessary. I would advise AGAINST using this for a computer desk-unless you have a SMALL laptop! It is designed more as a secretary then a computer desk. a few things to note when assembling-the bag of parts looks over whelming, but it's not. There are just a lot of big pieces in it, so just separate the pieces out and you will feel less overwhelmed. When putting it together there are no notes as to which side should face out (finished vs unfinished) The finished side goes OUT. There are also two small clear rubber dots that are not listed in the instructions. They are for the two bottom cabinet drawer so that it closes quieter-I have included pictures. Also, when you are instructed to put the 'sliders' on the bottom there was some confusion because there are flat pieces that I initially tried hammering in-but they did not have the metal 'tack' pieces sticking out-I missed seeing those initially! They are actually to cover the screws on the back of the cabinet-again, the instructions do not mention these pieces. There are 'sliders' included with the metal 'tacks' sticking out and THOSE are for the bottom of the cabinet.Overall, the cabinet is beautiful. If you have a laptop (about 15 inches or smaller) then this would be a good cabinet for that-thinking maybe dorm room?-otherwise it is simply a great place to store books, writing materials, or-in our case-use it for an art cabinet for my daughter.I would recommend purchasing it :)

Since my mom retired she has had to seriously downsize. This desk/hutch was perfect for her limited space bedroom. She is able to fit so many books, her computer, keyboard/mouse and a whole bunch of her memory trinkets she has collected over the years. It’s also nice when the grandkids come she can close it up and it keeps her items protected. Very sturdy and great quality. Took my mom and dad about 2 1/2 hours to put together but they are elderly. Would appreciate larger sized instructions they had a heck of a time reading it and used a tool to enlarge the font/photos. Other than that, the desk is absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way!

Quality piece of furniture with easy to follow instructions. I kept the shelves out to move it up stairs after main construction. Love that the back panel isnt just cardboard like youd find in other desks. Takes 2 people to move it. Depth is perfect for the space we needed. The secretary desk is just the right amount of extra space needed with great storage. Only gripe - We put masking tape on all the doors to move, and a piece of the lamenate came off the top shelf when I removed the tape. So recommend removing slowly of you have to do the same.

Very nice piece. Ordered this as a gift for my mother-in-law to use as a desk. Could see this having uses as a small bar, storage area, or decorative piece. Wood is of good quality. Directions were straightforward for assembly. The front area folds down for writing or computer use. When not in use, easily folds back up which is a nice space saver.

This piece of furniture is pretty heavy. As stated, you do need two persons to move and assemble this. Assembling is staright forward if you follow the instructions, however it took around 50-70 minutes to put this together. Nice addtion to the kitchen/breakfast area as my kids can use this as their studying desk. When putting it together there are no notes as to which side should face out (finished vs unfinished) and as a result I had to disasseble few parts twice. There are also two small clear rubber dots that are not listed in the instructions but mentioned in the list. I belive these are for the doors to close smoothly. WHY 4 STARS: The only thing which did not work for me is the magnetic latch, the magnet is not strong enough to hold the table when closed. I have to buy a magnet and fix this, which I beleive should be easy fix though.

This is perfect for us, we can close things up and it holds so much stuff in the top and bottom. My only complaint is that the wire that the writing desk is suspended from is a bit short, so it is not level. I thought it would stretch out? But it hasn't after a few years. Otherwise, I love this. Once the kids move out, it will be perfect for storage.

I love almost everything about this desk. Very good design. Love the storage space. It is perfect for my printer to fit on top. The two reasons I didn’t give a five star are these 1. The magnet for the top is not strong. It holds the piece that opens up but doesn’t completely close2. The extra writing space is very weak compared to a lot of others. It can’t hold a lot of weight so I have to be careful when studying and putting books on it. Small tip if you have the same problem as me and don’t feel the extra writing space is stable enough for you, you can buy a thicker rope that attaches to the desk than the one they provide you. My father in law is a construction worker that builds houses from scratch and this is what he suggested to me. Aside from those, love this desk!

This desk is actually very beautiful. Folded up it has a clean look and the color is rich. Assembly instructions were easy to follow but it did take me a few hours just because there are so many pieces. When you pull the desk part out, it seems sturdy enough to write on. There are various holes to be able to move the shelves around, which is nice if you have y’all books. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the little knick on the corner as shown in the pictures. Overall, great desk!

The desk looks great. Reason I rated a 4 the instruction were not the best and the quality of the material . The desk side panel came with a scratch , packaging needs to be better the box was beat up. The package was heavy and felt the wood piece were going to come out the ends . Would recommend straps all the way to the product wouldn’t shift inside.

This piece fits perfectly where you need a desk, but don't want to look at a desk. It works perfectly in my dining room to give us some office/workspace in the center of our home without having to look like one. This item could use more protection on the pieces when shipping. Be sure to examine your item corners for damage. We had some minor dings but decided they weren't bad enough to worry with sending back.

Looks exactly like pictures and the desk has a very nice and neat look. Its the perfect desk to hideaway a small workstation area. Despite a lot of pieces, the instructions were very helpful and easy to follow (best done with two people). Have to be careful with the magnet placement to ensure the magnet works on the desk that folds out and door hinges are a bit tricky to attach perfectly to get both doors level.

I like the desk however a little disappointed that some of the pieces were chippeddamaged (the left door panel) and the back top panel holes are off center resulting in a gap and misalignment. The wires on the desk are not the same length which doesn’t allow for the door to come down and be flat. The bottom cabinets do have cable management where I was told previously twice that they do not.

The desk is as pictured, but the quality of the desk is disappointing. Plastic "plugs" for the cams, & the teeny magnet that comes with it is not strong enough to keep the desk top up. I had to superglue additional super strong magnets to the desk top to make sure it stays up. Definitely NOT the quality I was expecting for the price.

Love the style but unfortunately completely lacks functionality as a desk. I've included photos so you can get an idea, but the largest center cubby can't even hold a keyboard - let alone a laptop. It will not hold a small-ish monitor (which was what I'd hoped, to use with my docked laptop). I also took a pic with the monitor and an old desk top PC next to it. The bottom shelves can not hold a desktop PC or a printer with a scanner style top because the depth is so shallow. Very disappointing. It is now a place I'm tossing extra office supplies and random junk. Will probably re-sell once I finish the basement and have more storage there for odd ends.

Came slightly damaged which could be from shipping. But still attempted to put together, and the actual desk part that folds down is made of particle board and broke already rendering the desk completely useless. I was expecting much better quality especially for the price and Im at a loss for what to do since I already put it together and tossed the box. The fold down desk part is particle board with two non supportive hinges on the inside, with two wire hangs. Thats all. The weight of the board with nothing on it even, broke the hinge out of the socket. Im glad it did not have my laptop it at the time, it would have been even more terrible (

It poses certain physical properties such as moderate crushing and bending strengths with low stiffness, making it easier to work on either on hand or using various machine tools. Most people are familiar with the darker walnut wood but there are also lighter browns, gray, purple, and reddish tints. Walnut wood is usually straight-grained but at times you may find one with a few waves and curls that enhances the character of that piece of furniture, a good example being a Walnut desk. The only way to tell whether a Walnut desk is really made out of Walnut is to only purchase one from a reputable furniture maker since many wood species look exactly the same and it can be quite hard to differentiate one from the other.
