This desk, along with the matching end table, are a perfect fit in our small office! They look great with our oversized chair and bulky wall shelves. We’re working to complete the wall decor. So happy with our choice.

It looks good, not great. It's a bit on the cheaper quality compared to other furniture purchases I've made on Wayfair. It's a BEAST to put together though. I did it over two days so as not to get too frazzled with the many many parts. The instructions are relatively easy to follow but a bit confusing. It will do - I just hope it lasts without getting chipped or scratched.

It sits nicely in the spot I planned, and it is sturdy and great looking. For the price, it is just what I needed.

The pieces are well identified and holes for screws precision drilled to make assembly of this complex piece easy. The instructions remind you to orient your pieces correctly which is much appreciated as there are 2 or more identical pieces. I would give a 5 star rating if the corner brackets were not so tight into the corner that the screws could not be tightened down without hitting the walls joined by the bracket.. This project takes time to complete and requires tools that are not supplied.

I have not put the desk together yet, so I cannot speak of the process or the desk itself, BUT I am VERY disappointed in the color. I ordered the Washington Cherry and the photo shown in the description, as well as photos from customers is definitely a lighter "cherry." The desk I received is very dark brown and that is not what I was looking for. I am trying to lighten up my library with lighter woods, and this is not going to do the trick. I really would like to send it back, but I already unpackaged it and it would be impossible to package it back up again into another box. The desk itself may be nice, but if you're looking for a lighter wood, this is NOT the desk for you. I'm adding a photo of the one of the pieces next to a bookcase I have. I was hoping the desk would be closer to that color, but as you can see by comparison, it is not. Very disappointed.

Nice desk but had issues on assembly. The wooden peg holes were mis-matched on one side. One side fit fine the other holes for the wooden pegs were incorrect. I had to drill my own peg holes for it to go together. Another issue is that the desk legs chips very easy. Other than that, I am enjoying my new computer desk with filing draws.

Plan on spending substantial time putting this together! All parts/fabrications are properly matched, but there are NO spare hardware parts - in fact, I had to go to the local hardware store because of a missing screw! To scrimp on hardware for something like this is inexcusable. Anyway, after 2 days, it all fit nicely together, but it was a chore!

When we read the description and reviews on this piece we couldn't pass it up for the price. The description explicitly says it's made of wood, but if you choose to purchase this desk, know that it is made of cheap particle board. Even the top and drawer fronts! It took longer than expected to put together. The drawers close, but no matter what I do, I can't get them level. We considered sending it back, but the idea of taking it apart seems like more trouble than it's worth. You get what you pay for.

The single biggest problem with this desk is the edges. I know it's a relatively cheap desk, but the veneer edges look awful. There's a light coloured seam around many of the front-facing edges of the desk because the veneers have not been overlapped well. It also leaves your wrists resting on a veneer edge whilst using the desk which is not super comfortable either. I have a hard time believing these won't be damaged and peeling off within a few months. Curiously even though the desk sports a mount for a Qi charger, there's no cable ports in the back for your cables to run up through which is also a miss. The veneer finish itself is also very uninspiring and doesn't clean up very well - also seems to scratch very easily. The color is also not like the picture where the desk is pictured as warm color with a slight red hue; it's entirely brown. The pencil drawer also had a hard time getting into it's slider too as the angle between the drawer and the clearance of the front of the desk was very very close; I had to loosen the mounting screws to get it to go it. This is all a bit of a pity because the overall construction seems pretty sturdy for a flat-pack unit. You'd be better of spending a bit more and finding something that's not flat-back from a better vendor. I suspect this desk will be in a dumpster inside 12 months.

The desk is handsome but both the file section and top are only held in by dowels and glue, not a screw anywhere. I should have added extra glue but I assembled the desk six weeks ago and have BARELY used it. Within six weeks, it has COMPLETELY fallen apart. I've put together a lot of furniture and have never seen anything like it. To add to my irritation, it fell apart one week after my return window closed. So I am stuck with an expensive and broken desk.

The desk all in all looks good and feels Sturdy. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE the effort required to put this together. We spent about 4 hours over a couple of days to put together from the two of us collectively. Too many small pieces that need to be put together in the exact same order and that cannot be used interchangeably. The back of the desk has a poor laminate sheet which does not hold on well together. We like it but would have returned it had we not discarded the packing material for something way simpler and easy to put together.UPDATE The entire desk has fallen apart and we are unable to put it back together. Not just one piece, including the table top, legs, drawers, everything. Like how can something just fall apart. Just HORRIBLE. DO NOT BUY!!! I would give it 0 stars if possible

I have had this desk for over 1 year and am back on the site looking for a contact for replacement parts (which i have not found). The fact that the inside panel of the drawer section does not have a leg/support, causes this product to completely fall apart with only minimal use. I would love to order another panel to try re-assemble, because I love the look, size, and drawer depth of the desk. It is currently in a heap in my office.

The package was slightly damaged so the side of one drawer was broken. We were able to get the desk together after working on it for 3 days--we are seniors and not used to constructing furniture. it is now together and it looks great. Not a fan of Fed Ex deliveries. They placed the package at opposite end of garage door--if I had not heard the truck, I could have raised the garage door and driven over the package. Not smart placement. All other delivery drivers always place items on the front porch.

It usually has a top that closes to hide current work, which makes the room containing it look tidy, maintains privacy, and protects the work. Modern writing desks are designed for laptop computers. A good writing table should also have storage space to a side or both sides.

Cedar

Cedar wood species is a unique wood species, its produces elegant and attractive tabletop or the whole desk. Cedar wood is a nice option because can maintain beauty for long durations. It's not only physically appealing but also easy to cut and shape. This makes desk made from cedar attractive, because of the awesome shapes produced. However, the wood is expensive to maintain over the years. The color fades over-time due to chemical reactions. The wood is also flammable, meaning you can’t place your desk next to fire points. The wood also requires maintenance, due to being softwood. Cedar has natural weather-resistant properties, hence making the desk durable. Cedar is one of the most aromatic woods and is strong enough to endure the elements. It has great dimensional stability and can fight off humidity and moisture for many years will making your desk last longer.

Cherry

Cherry wood is an eye-catching, luxuriously rich colored wood. Cherry wood is well-known for its strength, longevity and density, which has made it an extremely popular wood choice in furniture making for hundreds of years. A cherry wood desk not only adds a beautiful decorative touch to your home or office, it provides you with a work space to increase your productivity and organization (many traditional cherry wood desks have ample storage/shelving included). A cherry wood desk complements a traditional and classic style motif, as the warm, rich color of natural cherry wood is elegant, eye-catching and traditional. A cherry desk can enhance a classic design motif and elicits a vintage or antique feeling within the room. Cherry wood is more dense compared to other wood varieties, meaning it is a bit heavier than other wood desks, so it’s best if two or more people assemble and/or move a cherry wood desk.

Hardwoods

If you are looking to invest in a desk that is more durable and easier to maintain, the hardwood desk is your choice. The hardwood is usually visually characterized by the darker color, which has made them much more expensive than other types of wood. The wood has got a high density making durable and resistance to termites and other wood-boring insects. Hardwoods often have very strong wood density, which is closely connected with the species of tree that yielded it. Hardwoods are also stronger and more durable due to their more condensed and complex structure. This means your desk will last longer. They are also easy to clean, maintain and scratches or dents can be fixed. The wood is also known to produce fine furniture’s that are attractive or eye-catching for anyone entering your house. Desk made from hardwood will not only be good but also the furnish give it a fancy look to admire.

Oak

The Oak wood is durable and long-lasting, which is mainly contributed by the trees’ slow growth rate, plus the wood is usually very dense which makes it quality of the wood to skyrocket. Oak wood is ideal for both traditional and modern types of furniture as it quickly adapts to various types finishes. One huge advantage of owning an Oak desk is its durability, as it will rarely need to be replaced, since longevity is one of the factors that most of us consider before buying any piece of furniture and as a result money invested in an Oak desk will definitely be repaid by its long life. On the other side of the biggest drawbacks of an Oak desk is it’s very expensive, but this is usually compensated by its many strengths and good qualities.

Softwoods

Softwood wood species is easier to work with and it’s used to make great tabletops or generally the whole table or desk. The wood can be cut using machines into desirable shapes, hence producing good desk. The lower density of softwood timber means it's weaker and less durable, however there are some 'hard' softwood options with a higher density making great tabletop. The wood being soft can easily be attacked by termites and other woodborers, making your table to be weak. They also come in more reliable sizes and qualities than hardwoods. The wood is also prone to scratches and dent. Softwood is not always suitable for high amounts of use like floors for example and can be easily worn down after periods of time. They have a poor fire resistance, which should be considered carefully before placing table or desk down in different areas where they might be exposed to those sorts of environments.
