It was packed in two boxes and arrived undamaged and less then a week. The legs were very easy to attach and it fit perfectly in my kitchen. I put it to use right away with plenty of work space to review my bills and drawers for storage. Beautiful wood, love it.

I love this desk! It's sturdy and fits well in the tiny room. I paired it with a pink Louise Task Chair and the chair fits nicely tucked into the desk when not in use. Assembly is only the legs and comes in pieces in the box so I was able to get it to the room and do everything easily by myself.

As I wrote already, we like the desk. There are a couple of small scratches and the roll top does not roll smoothly - it takes a lot of messing around with it to get it to close. If you have any suggestions to correct this problem, they would be greatly appreciated.

This is a beautiful desk. Unfortunately, despite the Q & A answer otherwise, it doesn't accommodate a laptop. With the rolltop open the laptop screen won't open all the way without the keyboard several inches off the lip of the desktop, and an average 10 inch laptop won't fit inside with the laptop closed. I bought it based upon the bad Q & A answer. I have found, thru several purchases, you can't trust these answers. The off-gassing from the finish is also unpleasant, but starting to abate. Will probably keep this, but wish site info was more accurate.

This isn't a terribly well made product. The drawers have no stops so fall right out. The roll is not smooth. And the MDF material is really soft, so the desk is easily dinged. It is a small little roll top, so meets my needs but seems expensive given the quality.

Missing a lot of hardware. It's a very cute desk but one of the legs is warped and only one bolt can be fastened instead of 2. If i didn't have a problem with a defected leg then the assembly would have been very easy. The rolltop is just big enough to fit my very tiny laptop.

Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with the quality of this piece. The drawers do not have stoppers and can be easily pulled out fully. When arrived, there was a chip/scratch on one of the drawers, and a chip in the back. I like the idea and the size of the piece, but didn't quite meet my expectations

Hardwoods

If you are looking to invest in a desk that is more durable and easier to maintain, the hardwood desk is your choice.

Walnut

Walnut is a hardwood of medium density that is quite expensive to own as it is a bit rare due to certain natural limitations. 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.
