I was hoping that the desk would be very shiny, almost laquer like, but it looks fairly dull up close. However, it does look pretty shiny from far away. If I had seen the desk in person, I might not have bought it. It is a good value for the price and very sturdy and easy to put together, but I was going for a more modern look that I don' t think this captures.
I've been wanting a West Elm Parsons Desk so when I found this, I jumped on it immdediately. I wish I had read ALL the reviews, because then I wouldn't have expected it to have a glossy finish and look just like West Elm's laquered white desk. The desk was very easy and quick to assemble. Also, the two drawers are a bit shallow so don't expect to stuff too many things in there. Overall, it's a nice, simple desk. While it's a great alternative to the West Elm Parsons Desk, it's not a perfect substitute. If I'm not too lazy, I may look into some spray laquer or shellac to give it that gloss I was hoping for.
Some people have said that this desk is like the one at "West Elm" (Parson's Desk). But if you are looking for the shiny lacquered finish (piano finish), THIS IS NOT IT. It has a PAINT FINISH, and is definitely NOT HIGH GLOSS FINISH. Other than that it is what it says it is. Just wanted to inform those who were looking at this as a LACQUERED FINISH desk. What I did to solve the lack of high gloss finish, was just buy a glass top and it made it look a lot better.
This desk is made of real wood and was very easy to assemble. It is perfect for a student to spread out their books and paperwork. I am really happy with this desk and you can't beat the price especially for real wood. The drawers are small though, so you will need additional storage for your accessories.
Love this desk. Solid wood and sturdy. Two nice thin drawers to fit printer paper or pens, ink, etc. Can fit a bookshelf or filing cabinet under the desk. Room for our apple desktop and writing area and a printer. Big desk for small space. Looks great.
I really wanted a Parsons desk. This is the best one for the price that I found online. I still wouldn't pay for a West Elm Parsons. The white is bright and the drawers are great. They won't store many things. Mainly paper and pens. It is a bit wobbly but putting it up against a wall reduces this. I'd love to get a glass top to prevent any more scratches (after only a month) but this desk will work for me for the next few years just fine and at the price it cannot be beat.
I bought this as the affordable option to the West Elm Parson's desk. I had read in reviews that the finish wasn't as glossy as some would like, but I found it to be white, glossy, and totally fine. I had bought glossy spray paint to go over the desk before assembling, but I shelved the glossy coat and decided to live with the desk as-in for a bit. As my roommate put it, it's a fine line between glossy and kid-furniture glossy. I think the finish is glossy enough to look polished and haven't thought it needed a fix in the three weeks it's been up. As a desk, the product is great. It's sturdy, has been used for a couple of weeks without any marks, and looks great. I would highly recommend this desk to anyone!
Great Parsons -style desk for the price. A little thinner than West Elm Parsons desk. Has two drawers which slide effortlessly. The finish is shiney and smooth- not quiet as lacquered as West Elms- For the price, I am pleased! The construction is a snap- attach the legs with the bolts and tool provided. One thing, using the tool on the side with the drawer was trickey because there was not alot of room to manuver and I had to turn the tool sideways... which slowed the whole process down a llittle bit. Overall it took 20 mins to put it together.
Great budget alternative to the pricey West Elm Parsons Desk, if you are looking for a stylish, sturdy workstation this is great. The Legs don't wobble, I didn't find any defects while putting it together (easy instructions) the surface is big enough for two monitors, and it's compact which is great for my small house. The drawers feel a little flimsy, but hey this desk was only $$$!
I searched for a desk for several months. I wanted something with clean lines that would look great in my space. I considered the West Elm Parsons Desk but was not happy with the $350 price tag. I searched and found this desk (47.25 inches long x 23.625 inches deep x 29.5 inches high) which has nearly the same dimensions as the West Elm Desk (48" long x 24"deep x 30"high). It arrived packaged very well and was easy to assemble. The drawers were already attached onto the desk. Assembly simply involved attaching the legs. I really like this desk. It is large enough for my laptop and a few decor items without being overly large. The only drawback is that the 2 drawers are not very spacious. They are just big enough for pencils, pens and stationary but not at all adequate for anything larger or for any type of storage. Overall this desk has clean lines and looks very good.
