Nice,very nice...
I had shopped extensively on the internet for a small secretary desk. I found Overstock.com by far had the best prices! Make sure you measure your area, and take note of the desks' dimensions before you order! This desk is much darker-more like a cherry/walnut stain then what is shown in the display pics. It is beautiful! It was very well packaged- LOTS of styrofoam. It wasn't too difficult to unpack, but the styrofoam makes a pretty good mess. Here's a bit more info. regarding attaching the legs that was omitted from other reviews I read. There's 8 really long screws that get screwed into pre-drilled holes. The manufacturer includes a hex-head type tool to use. But about the 4th screw, my hand really hurt. For a woman I do have a lot of hand strength...it still was a bit difficult. If you have a ratchet w/ a hex bit get it out. The slot shelving is removable, it just slides out if you'd like more space. In the picture it shows items on the top shelf...FYI, that shelf is 7" depth. And the side section supports slide out automatically when the desk is opened- very cool! :) There are drawer-stops inside at the top of all the drawers that get turned downward preventing the drawers from coming all the way out. Just feel around for them. The one reviewer stated that they added some knobs. The drawers have carved-out sections for you to grab onto to open the drawers. But fold down door does not. You have to grab it from the sides and pull it down. Not difficult at all. I did not bolt it the wall as some have. I had stored some heavier items in the bottom drawer which no doubt helps prevents it from tipping. With the exception of a few areas where they missed a spot in staining (I just touched it up w/ furniture stain markers) the desk is well made and worth the money.

Beautiful and well made desk
This is a winner. I gave all catagories a 5 as this product deserves it. I chose to take the easily removable insides of the desk out, and put the little shelves on top with candles, etc. on it. Then on the inside of the compartment, I put all of my makeup and brushes, put a little ornate half chair up and sit and put my makeup on every day. The drawers are well made and hold my extra facial tissues and swabs. Again, this product is very well made, looks much more expensive than it is and is extremely sturdy. You can't go wrong.

Small Office Secretary Desk
Excellent piece of furniture, easy to assemble, timely delivered. Looks like the photo with lovely carvings; the wood's stained darker by a few shades and has highly functional, easy sliding 3 drawers. Exact size I needed for a small office. Solid wood construction.

DESK
This is a very nice desk and shipped quickly. I was a little unhappy with the size you can not put much in the inside of the desk top part is is only about 10 inches. If you are looking for a place to put a few items this is a good piece of furature. The little drawers will not hold a 12 inch ruler and the bottom draw will hold only haning files you can not put any taps on the folder if you do the draw will catch. Over all it is a nice desk and looks good in a small space. I did keep it and am trying to make it work. It is more of a writting desk not for all your bills.

Mixed rating
I purchased this desk and am very pleased with the look as well. I am unhappy about the drop down part of the desk because when you close it, the pull out support on one side does not go all the way in so it is not flush with the desk. I am constantly walking by trying to push it in.This was discovered after all of the unwrapping and assembly. It was too much trouble to pack back up return and hope for a replacement without this manufacturer assembly error.

Small but functional
Small desk that was easily assembled. The color is darker but still works well in my bedroom. I use this as a work desk which works ok for me. I'm only 5 foot tall so this desk would not work for a taller person. I took the middle slots out and sat the unit on top to hold office supplies and cute small knick knacks. I did add heavy items to the bottom drawer for safety. I did not want the unit to tip. The carvings are nice. I don't believe the product is all wood based on the back panel. All in all I'm pleased with the purchase as I only work from home 1 day a week on a laptop.

Desk
Delivery was prompt and the quality was ok. Desk was smaller than expected and is more ornamental than functional. The file drawer is too small for files and hangs up on the file tabs when opened and closed.

Negative review
The desk arrived and had a crack in the back of it, is much lighter weight than I expected. The decorative wood around the bottom was not very nice looking, smashed, and looks "damaged'. I kept it because it is the perfect size for a small area and it is pretty just way over priced for what you get.

met expectation
I was not expecting too much at under $***. But just the same, the finish could be much better. This made in China piece is fully assembled except the legs. I added new washers because the ones that came with the unity were too small. I needed to file some rough edges and the entire item stank of solvent from whatever was used to finish the wood surface. On the good side, it is made of wood and so it is not too heavy. I hope it lasts 5-10 years; I do not expect more than that from it.
