This was a bit smaller than I had hoped, but than again, I didn't properly measure! Since it's a corner desk, I wasn't sure how the company measured, either. After it got here and was assembled, I did measure and it IS 42" measuring from the left corner (where it touches the wall) to right corner (where it touches the wall), going straight across the top of the desk. It's about 29" from the back corner (where it touches the corner of the wall) straight across the top of the desk to the front drawer of the desk. Sorry if that's more confusing, it's an odd shaped piece. But is a great size if you have a really, really small space. My 22" flat screen monitor, speakers and keyboard fits perfect, but not room for much else.

I received the desk as promised within the allotted time frame. Assembly was very straightforward and the instructions were clear. Unfortunately I encountered two problems. One of the pieces was not included (I had been sent two pieces of another kind) plus a bolt for the handle was too short. I was able to resolve one of these problems via their email process and that piece came quickly so I could finish the assembly. However, the bolt was never sent. I was frustrated so I'm just getting a bolt myself for the handle. Besides those problems, the desk itself it is as advertised and is attractive and sturdy. I have a medium sized flat screen TV on it and it looks good. I'm fairly satisfied and would make a recommendation in the future IF the above problems don't occur again. I would warn any of my friends buying to be careful to check the pieces carefully before assembly.

This desk is relatively easy to assemble (about an hour or so), particularly with a friend to help insert screws, etc. My unit arrived with a small scratch on the front of the desk, but otherwise it's a great piece for the price. My only major concern is that the shelf that sits on the lower half of the desk is surprisingly shallow (about 8 inches), such that it could not support my printer or other computer accessories. I ended up leaving off the shelf entirely because it would not align properly with the rest of the unit. However, I maintain that this is a great desk for a small space such as a bedroom or home office. It's been perfect for at-home computer use or correspondence.

Definitely a space saver in a small office or room. Pleased with the look and very easy to assemble. It's a great deal for the price.

I ordered this desk because I wanted something that served as a nightstand and a laptop desk. It works great. The deep middle drawer is perfect for storing everything in. The desk is at the perfect height to put near a bed too. If you do use this desk, please note that most adjustable chairs will not fit nicely under it...you're better off sticking with a static chair. Assembly was a breeze. All I needed was an hour and a screwdriver. For the value, it was just what I wanted. It doesn't take up much space and serves a double function for me. This would be great for someone that needs a writing/typing surface in a family room or hallway.

took a few hours to assemble. be sure to assemble IN the room you will use this desk- difficult to get through doors! love the corner desk small profile and efficient use of space.

I was attracted to this item because of the price...well I got what I paid for! This has the potential of being a decent piece, however it was poorly constructed and in order to assemble it I will basically have to reconstruct it! That is why I say "Great Kit", it is like a furniture making kit. I still have not gotten around to this project! I realize I can return it, but for the cost I don't think it would be worth the hassle of boxing it back up, and lugging it to the shipper ! Too bad more care wasn't put into this product.

The wood has a big scratch on the front leg of the desk, which it came with, but it wasn't hard to cover up...the directions were very poorly drawn, and not so easy to figure out. I couldn't assemble it by myself. Still, I have a corner desk which works great!

We love the desk'; it fits nicely into the space and looks amazing!Only drawback: it took hours to assemble, but well worth it.

The corner desk arrived earlier than expected (a plus). The desk looked exactly as it was pictured. The price was very reasonable for the product. Also, very pleased that shipping cost was so low. The only negative, there was a nick right in front by the drawer. Overall, I am happy with the purchase.

This is a very good quality corner desk, but be aware that the color is much darker than pictured. More like an expresso brown. Still worked out great and it's very sturdy.

This is a great corner desk for a young child or any small space. The small book shelf is also really convenient. My grandson loved his new desk!!

This desk was bought for a guest bedroom and will easily fulfill the requirements of overnight guests. It is an attractive piece and goes well with our new guest bedroom set. The downside: although I was looking for a scaled down corner desk unit because of the size of the room, it was smaller than I though it would be. I will not be returning it, but still wish it had been mad a couple of inches longer.

The desk fits perfectly in the corner,beautiful color, easy to assemble even by one person (assemble it by myself). The quality of materials and construction was good but the stain on the shelf was not, it was rough, slightly different color and stain was unevenly applied.

I love how this desk looks, if you have an empty corner in your living room or bedroom that you are looking to fill, this is a great choice. I work from home so I have a larger desk that I use for work but this desk is great for when a friend or relative visits for a longer period so they can have a place to put their own lap top. If you don't actually use it for work, it adds a nice touch to any room if you put picture a large vase or picture frames or a stack of books on top of it. The assembly was a bit tricky because there are many pieces to it but if you follow the instructions carefully you'll be fine.
