Needed a smaller desk for my new home , this offered functionality, and love the open shelves. I am using a mix of antique dynamite wooden crates alternately with woven grass storage baskets as file keepers. The look is great. Also, easy to assemble. Beware, this is no sissy piece of furniture. I'm sure it would win in a head on with a Smartcar.
This desk is a terrific bargain. It's solidly built and looks similar to others that cost more in stores. It seemed to be easy to assemble. Or at least that's what my boyfriend said.
My uncle put the desk togetere for me and after he finished I was stunned how beautiful this desk was. Very rustic looking, perfect as a desk or work bench I love it!! I may purchase the book shelf to match the desk. Again I ordered thsi product for my home in Bermuda. It wa shipped to my overseas shipper in New Jersy for the voyage to Bermuda. Again, the furniture box was intact, no rips or tears. Very well packaged and protected. Thank you overstock!
I'm a jewelry designer and recently remodeled my studio. I needed a strong work bench/desk but insisted on finding something stylish. This desk is perfect. The finish is gorgeous - urban contemporary with the grey wash wood and steel legs. Assembly went quick - I always use a drill to speed things along. Very heavy and sturdy - I move anvils around the surface and hammer frequently. It meets my needs and is flat out gorgeous!
I'm so glad I like this desk! It would have been a bear to send back! It is a well made (high quality) desk and extremely heavy. You would easily pay a lot more money for this desk at another store ( Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Crate and Barrel). I like how functional it is for both work and play. It gives ample room for my lap top computer and my hobbies (photography and scrapbooking). It has a retro, and yet vintage look, which fits in the decor of my office. My friend, who has assembled many things throughout his life, stated on easy the directions were to follow and simple to put together.
I love this desk. It's very high quality, sturdy and beautiful. I would have no issues recommending this purchase. I assembled it myself, but it would have been easier with two people.
This is a very large desk. I could fit two 12"x26" lamps on both sides of the desk and center each lamp with the desk's two side shelves. You can't remove the middle shelves to fit in your desktop because those shelves are part of the desk's structural frame. As another reviewer pointed out, this desk has a restoration hardware style, looks expensive, and is very beautiful. I'm very happy with the purchase.
I have gotten many compliments on how good my new desk looks. The one thing I do not like is that, in an apparent effort to save costs, the wood is a half inch thinner across the main portion of the desk--where no legs have to mount to it. This made it impossible to mount a keyboard tray under the desk unless I added another half inch of plywood.
This is a great desk. Yes, the "reclaimed wood" finish is faux, but for the cost what do you expect. It looks fantastic, works well and is solid. To the reviewers who needed new holes cut, etc, this type of assembly is designed to be put together loosely first, then tightened. As you do so, the pieces bend slightly and meet together really tight, making it very sturdy.
This desk was (is) very heavy so that i was able to receive free freight was a HUGE deal. It arrived without damage and i put it together, by myself, in about 30 - 45 minutes. Clear and concise directions and the desk is assembled in a way that is very intuitive which means a quick glance and you can just put it together pretty quickly. What i love best, though is that the desk itself is made really well. I held out for over a year, working in my home office using an old door set on top of banker's boxes - i was waiting for just THE right desk. Found it. Lots of room on the desktop (i have a mac laptop and two monitors) as well as the shelving on the sides. Very sturdy, no "wiggle". Highly recommend.
