It came damage! But great experience. The desk arrived damage however, Wayfair did an amazing job replacing it. Keep in mind that online purchase takes time. Which Im ok with. It took 2 weeks for my first order and another 2 weeks for my replacement. The whole process with Wayfair was great! Excellent customer service. Just be patient.

Attractive. Very easy to assemble. Color is a bit darker than what was shown in the picture. The only thing is to watch yourself with the protruding cabinets under the desk, as a person who likes to sit with my chair tucked under the desk I've hit my legs on the corners more time than I can count. Still, if you can handle that, it's a great piece.

The desk is nice. However, the dimensions are inaccurate! So keep that in mind when purchasing a chair. The description states the width of the middle drawer is 28 inches but it is actually 23.5 inches which means a chair with armrests wider that 23 inches across will not fit under the desk so keep that in mind when deciding on a chair!

Plywood, terrible quality. The first desk I received had nails poking out and had clearly been left in the snow or rain at some point - although the box was left inside my apartment building, it was soaked through. This meant that the plywood was damaged and it literally fell apart as I was trying to build it. Separate from the defect, the drawers are incredibly narrow and shallow. They're very impractical and don't fit files. I asked for a replacement and a partial refund, but was told that any refund would mean I wouldn't be able to get another replacement. The customer service agent was honest and said there was a big chance they'd mess it up again. Not worth the price at all.

BEWARE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RETURN THIS ITEM. I was not advised upon ordering this item that this would have to ship via freight and would therefore have additional costs (93!!) associated if I needed to return it. Lockdown ended where I am located the day after I ordered this item, so I immediately called to cancel within twelve hours of placing the order. The agent wasn’t able to cancel the order but he assured me that I would be able to return it for a restocking fee of five dollars once it arrived. It finally arrived yesterday and I am now being asked to pay 93 for an unopened package. Apparently it was shipped via freight. If I had been advised of this and that my return wouldn’t be free, I never would have ordered it. Wayfair is refusing to do anything for me. Even if they gave me a gift card to cover the cost of shipping that I could put toward another purchase, I would be happy but they are refusing to help altogether. Be transparent about your costs, wayfair. I feel scammed and won’t be using wayfair again. Really terrible customer service.
