Overall, great piece of furniture. LOOKS GREAT! Took a few hours to put together, but came together nicely. Only small complaint is that the back piece is literally a piece of white cardboard (and it's against the wall so we don't even see it, just FYI), but everything else is well-made. Very modern, clean lines.

We ordered 5 of these desks. After the first one was assembled, we split the assembly work between two people and completed 4 of the desks in 5 hours. (we decided to save one of the desks until other items were in the room). I like the fact that the desks can be assembled either right or left hand drawers, and the versatility of adjusting the length of the desk to fit the room. The quality is good, and these desks meet our needs well.

This is a really nice quality filing cabinet. Very heavy. There were definitely a lot of parts, but I found the instructions to be clear and they parts were all labeled. Took some time to assemble, but it came out great!I really like the modern clean look of this cabinet for my office.

I like this desk a lot...It looks great and was pretty easy to assemble. My only cons are that the desk surface isn't very deep, so your computer monitor winds up being pretty close to you and typing isn't super comfortable. It's not terrible, but the edge of the desk kind of digs into your forearms after a while. There's also not really enough room to cross your legs under the table. Still, I use this every day and am happy with it, just be aware that if you're looking for comfort you may want to consider these things.Pros: good value, easy to move (you can separate the top from the filing cabinet), looks cuteCons: desk surface not deep enough

This is a nice looking cabinet to match the general midcentury modern feel of my office. It was a bit of a bear to put together and the drawers are pretty tight but I don't need it all that often. Pros: Great value and look.Cons: Time-consuming construction, probably not the best for someone who is in and out of their cabinet all day long.

I give this desk a 4 star rating, because if it's shortness. I had to purchase a additional table, in order to bring it up to a better height. The space inside is great, but if you have letter size drop folders, you will have to trade up to legal size. I went all white in my new off, Old World Style have since left the seen! Very nice piece!

Well it took awhile to assemble, read instructions carefully cause they decided to leave something in the packaging that later on in the instructions tells you that you no longer need, so discard. So other than that mishap I'm very satisfied with my desk.

The writing desk looks elegant and has a modern design (desk top sold separately). I ordered it for the home office.The drawers were kinda hard to put together. I accidentally chipped a little bit inside of the drawers, but luckily they don't show. When complete, the writing desk looks great--good counter space, nice storage in the file cabinet, and simple and clean look. One thing I wish to improve is the back of the cabinet--it was just a white color folder paper board that you nail on to the back. For such a cute piece of furniture, i was hoping for a all-way finish looking, especially that I did not intend to push the back of the cabinet towards to the wall.

I love this desk.. Looks great and is exactly as pictured.. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because there was only one bracket connecting the top of the desk to the drawers which did not seem sturdy. But this is an easy fix. Besides that- the desk is exactly what I expected.

The look is fantastic, but 2 things. 1) It doesn't hold normal files, only legal, so kind of defeats the purpose for me. My fault I guess, I just assumed a file cabinet was a file cabinet... 2) The screws holding the handles on were slightly too long and punctured the face of the wood. #2 is a pretty easy fix with some smaller screws I had, but #1 is a much bigger issue...
