3-drawer Secretary Desk

I SEARCHED everywhere for a secretary desk to go with our more contemporary decor, that would fit the small corner of my kitchen...after months of looking I was thrilled when I found this desk! This desk is EXACTLY what I needed. It provides me with the perfect way to hide our house hold clutter (bills, phone books, mail, etc), and is the perfect place for me to store my laptop out of the way. The best part is that I just shut the front and hide it all! At first, I was a bit worried, because the other reviews had not been the best; but I was pleasantly suprised. It arrived quickly. My husband put it together, with no problem, in about 2 hours. We were short a few dowel rods; but we always keep some spares on hand. The desk did have just a FEW MINOR bumps from shipping; but was easily fixed with a black permanent marker. You can NOT tell where I touched it up. I'm very happy with the purchase, and absolutely THRILLED with the price! I highly recommend this product. It's compact design fits even the tightest area; and the look goes great with just about any decor. It has provided me with more than enough storage. I like that it has drawers (which are quite deep and roomy), and the adjustable shelves. Perfect!!! Thanks Overstock!!! :)

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!

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.
