Sturdy and very functional piece! I love the distressing and it coordinates nicely with the Poynor Etagere Bookcases ( pictured and also from Wayfair). I was hesitant to order thinking the leather center was soft or boggy, but it's just as sturdy as the wood surrounding it. It's a very heavy piece, so it'll probably take at least 2 people to carry it inside and due to it's weight, you'll likely need an extra set of hands to help reposition it after assembly. My husband was out of town when the desk was delivered, but my 16 year old son helped me bring it inside and helped me assemble it. I was glad for his help! The office is now my favorite room in the house! Keep in mind that the desk is a little taller than your average office desk, so make sure your desk chair doesn't sit too low. It's a perfect height for my 6'1" husband. I would definitely recommend this desk, especially if you're in search of a farmhouse or rustic themed piece.

I've had this desk for a few months now, and I still love it as much as the day I bought it. It's just the right size so that I can "float" it away from a wall. It has the right amount of rustic that it works with most decor. Very pleased.

I am a designer and purchased this desk for a client who needed a desk that was a little longer than most, but didn't want it to be too "heavy" looking. It is very nice and my client is pleased. The only thing that I would add as a comment is that the finish is more rustic appearing than you see in the photo, but did add a textured feel if you like this look. Otherwise the quality of this desk is perfect.

Very happy with this desk. I trusted the reviews and ordered it. I was replacing a Hooker desk bought 15 years ago and out of my current style. This desk has some of the same features. Quick delivery, well-packaged and easy to assemble (my husband did that part). Goes great with all of my other purchases in my newly decorated home office!

Exactly as shown in photos- great quality! Entire desk (except the surface) is unfinished. The top of the desk has a smooth finish, and a large leather square in the center which at first I wasn't sure I liked. But since using it, I realize I LOVE it! I don't have to worry about ruining the surface with pen marks or spilling my drink :)

This is a heavy piece, I put together with the help of my boyfriend because neither of us could have lift the top alone. Its sturdy but a teeny bit too high for me, higher than say a kitchen table height. There is a drop down front to the middle drawer for a lap top so typing should be comfortable. I am 5' 4" and purchased a Hooker Furniture tufted leather chair that looks amazing but doesn't adjust quite high enough for me.

The desk is well made and looks great in my husband's office. Easy to assemble. The only criticism he has is that it's just a bit too tall for his comfort level. Since his desk chair is already at the highest point, he has to find a new chair! If you'll be using it frequently, make sure you measure first!

Really well-made desk! Super easy to put together. I did notice the top portion of the desk is more of a golden brown, and the legs are more of an ash brown. There is enough distressing so it is not totally noticeable but took me a little while to be OK with that. That is why I gave it four stars instead of five

Brown

Brown colour desks give a very sophisticated and vintage look. One may use brown colour study desks. Vintage-looking brown executive desks with an oak which will undoubtedly enhance your study room. Brown coloured desks match almost all kinds of interior decor or colour palette. Brown colour may vary from a light tan colour to dark wooden polish shades. You can also use brown colour study tables, computer tables in your room. Another advantage of the brown coloured desk is that colour doesn’t fade fast. The brown colour desk gives an elegant look to your study room. With enough style and colour options, the brown colour desk attracts more modern consumers than any other colour. The wide range of contemporary desks fits the brown colour desk as per choice. We generally go for brighter and flashier colours when it comes to choosing office furniture and we keep brown colour aside. But if we choose brown shades for the desks it proves to be fantastic neutrals with other furniture. So, whether it’s your homey workspace or office desk, one can easily go for brown coloured desks.

Natural

If you’re like the vast majority of people, you’ve probably been working from home at some point in the last year.

A natural color desk enriches a minimalist design motif and can also easily mix into your existing style, whether it’s modern and contemporary, or traditional and old-fashioned. Natural wood is strong, sturdy and long-lasting; a great benefit to a natural wood desk is that you have the option to refurbish it with a stain or paint to enhance the furniture piece to keep up with your ever-changing style and design preferences. Natural wood desks are fairly simple to assemble and carry, if you wish to change the layout of your work space.

Leather

A leather desk is a desk that is made with real leather on the entire or part of the work top/writing space. The leather that is used is high quality and durable; because it is real leather, it’s best to treat it with a special polish to maintain its natural beauty. An authentic leather desk enhances a classy, traditional look and complements many design styles. Leather desk pads are smaller leather elements on the work top that provide users with a soft, sleek space to work or write on. Authentic leather desks are pricier than other desk varieties (due to the real leather element), however, they are long-lasting and durable. Leather desks are typically made and paired with metal or wood, so they can complement a modern, contemporary style or a traditional design motif. A leather desk is a beautiful choice for everyone!

Desk

A desk is a piece of furniture with a flat table style work surface mainly found in offices, schools, and homes. A desk is that one single piece of furniture where you can work from, or play from when you are either in the office or at home. In most scenarios every single desk is usually dedicated for a specific activity. A good example is the office desk, this a desk that you are likely to find in an office may it be your normal work place or your home office, it provides a good surface or setup from where you can work from and carry out all your daily activities. Most office desk are usually manufactured with the quality and comfort of the employee in mind so as to provide a good working environment that is inspiring and motivating.

Writing Desk

A writing desk is a desk with a flat top for reading, writing, or using equipment such as a computer, to hold writing materials and a surface for writing. A writing desk with drawers and plenty of space may be just what you need. Writing desks are used in a school, office, home, or the like for academic, professional, or domestic activities. Writing desks have different varieties to choose from, some choices may include optional features such as an integrated power source or a pull-out keyboard tray. 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.

Pine

The pine wood species that produces desks that are durable and strong. It’s also slightly lighter compared to other woods in the same species. This wood is also very stiff. However, the wood is not quite strong, but it does offer durability. Desk made using this wood are usually elegant and eye catching. The wood takes paint very well, making it friendly for kids. Because pine is a softwood, it's prone to scratches and dent. They also develop a nice, rustic patina from age and use, and it resists shrinking and swelling. Depending on our preference, the wood produces good desk that have different styles to enable you to select your option. It may not last quite as long as oak, but pine is still a strong, shock-resistant material suitable for furniture, particularly if you like the rustic or country styles While furniture made from pine is still moderately heavy and sturdy, it is lighter than oak. Pine has its own benefits such as wood hardness, color and durability. It depends on what you need as to which is better for you. The wood is also resistance against rot and decay making it a good choice for a good desk or other furniture’s.

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.
