3-drawer Secretary Desk

Rating

Overall, I am happy with the purchase of this desk. I find the quality fair for the price, however I wish the drawers were a bit more sturdy. The desk does look great though, and it has really helped with the organization and hiding of many miscellaneous items. We have it at the end of our entryway, in a corner between the kitchen and family room. I assembled this desk by myself in 8 hours. The directions were easy to follow, it just took long because it was a tedious process that included LOTS of parts. In the end I recommend the product , and am happy that I did not spent two to five times more for a pre-assembled secretary desk from a local furniture store. I am also happy with Overstock - shipping was timely and all of the pieces arrived in proper condition.

I ordered this desk for my daughter's room last year. My husband spent five hours putting it together. It looks nice, much as in the picture, but the quality is abysmal. It's really a piece of junk. The drawers are so flimsy you can hardly put anything in them or they fall apart. The front of the drawers are always falling partly off. This is truly the worst piece of furniture I have ever bought. You might as well just throw your money in the garbage and skip the long assembly process, because you will be disappointed with the result. Better yet, buy a different desk!

My adult son and I thought that we could have the assembly of this desk completed in an hour. Boy, were we wrong! It took the two of us almost two and a half hours and then I finished by completing the drawers for an additional hour. The instructions were not easy to understand and we were confused as to which part was which.Having said that I am happy with the size and appearance. I did find that if you open one of the drawers with the front open then you risk the chance of the desk falling over. So balance is necessary . Basically, you get what you pay for.

This desk is a great buy. I had a hard time finding a black desk that would fit into my family room decor and this fits perfectly. I can even put my lap top in it. The drawers are great and the hardware on the drawers are very attractive. The only fault I found was putting it together. It was not an easy task. Overall, it is a very nice desk and a great buy.

We've been shopping for a mail desk for years (literally) and finally chose this one. It arrived quickly and I started putting it together shortly thereafter. It went together rather easily, but like any piece of "assembly required" furniture, patience is sometimes the best tool to have at your disposal. I made sure I had everything I needed close by and carefully grouped all the parts together. I took my time and it went together without a problem. I do wish the drawers were a little more stable, but otherwise it's a very attractive and useful piece of furniture.
