Plymouth Writing Desk

I was looking for a writing desk for the home office that would serve as a family computer station and work table for kids homework without overtaking the office. 30" depth works well and the 3-drawer hutch elevates the monitor to eye level while still leaving enough space in front of the hutch to have a keyboard and mouse. Large center drawer is big enough to hide the wireless keyboard and mouse when not in use, however, the front of the center drawer does not slide open ala a dedicated keyboard tray. Not a big deal. The assembly directions are well illustrated and the desk went together in about an hour, taking my time. You will need a second person to help lift the table top onto the legs / frame, however, all the dowel and furniture hardware aligned perfectly to render a sturdy, wobble-free assembly. Desk arrived in two boxes and all the contents were well labeled and protected in shipment.

I love this desk. It is a perfect fit for my office and absolutely gorgeous. Everyone stops by and asks where I got my desk. It was a little time consuming to put together, but is very sturdy and beautiful. The only thing that is a little annoying is that the knobs tend to loosen up and turn with use. I would definitely recommend this desk to anyone.

I had read the other reviews prior to purchase, and so was expecting to spend a few hours on assembly. That said, I was thrilled with the end product! The desk looks like it cost two or three times what I paid. My only complaint is that the finish really shows fingerprints - and, our study gets a lot of traffic. So pretty when I've just polished it, though!!

This is the third time this sixty plus woman has put together furniture. It did take some time and because the desk is heavy, solid wood I did have to wait until my husband could help me put the desk top on. The directions are simple with good illustrations, however I did get one piece on upside down and have to retrace a step to turn it around. I didn't mind because the finished piece was worth the time and effort.
