Product Reviews for:

Very solid piece of furniture once assembled. Attractive color looks exactly like the photo online. Very generous dimensions. I have a computer tower and printer on the desk that fit on each side of my monitor. Plenty of room to work. Assembly takes about 2 1/2 hours if you know what you are doing (I've assembled a number of pieces of furniture.) and are working alone. Most will not be able to put the top on the desk alone, however. I have a large wingspan that allowed me to get the job done. Better to work as a pair. Desk comes in two boxes, so, here again, you may need assistance. Good price according to quite a bit of internet research. Could not find a better value on the web or in stores.

After reading the reviews of how difficult this was to assemble, I almost didn't buy the desk. But I loved the price and the looks, and I was not disappointed when it arrived. I decided to take my time putting it together and I think that's the way to approach this... as a project. More than the directions, you need to understand the drawings. The finished desk is gorgeous and large. Everything fit together, the holes were properly drilled, all the pieces for assembly were included (even with some extras). The only part that took some time to understand were the special locking metal pieces. If you've done this kind of assembly before, it was a snap. But I had to work with them before I understood how they securely connected the pieces. It was hard to find the little triangular arrow imprinted on the metal, but once I did, everything went fairly quickly and easily. The desk is well-worth the effort and is very sturdy and well made. I'm very glad I decided to order it. (Oh, and you do need some help because the top is heavy and you don't want to scratch the finish. So make sure you have a friend, spouse or SO nearby.)

Great desk, excellent quality, heavy/solid wood. The instructions are well-written and detailed, however, if you are not use to assembling furnture, I would recommend having some help. I didn't have the desk top 100% flush against the legs/base and it through off each drawer leaving them uneven. I had to bring another person to help retrace my steps and assemble it correctly. By the way... it looks black in the picture, but it is a true "dark espresso" as it says in the description.

This desk was easy to put together. I did it all by myself. It is a very room desk top. Which is what I wanted. But not too massive. It has a sleek, modern or traditional look. It would go in any style actually. I love it. Just the right size. Good for setting out in the middle of the room too, not just up against a wall. Great desk for a great price!

My daughter and her boyfriend who are 18 years old put this together easily. They said it was no problem and did it quite quickly. They don't normally put furniture together so I'm assuming the directions were good. Except for the drawer pulls that they put in upside down (and I left them like that because it looks kinda cool). My ex-husband came over and was WOWed by it. So sturdy and nice looking, he said. He was sure I had laid down some big money. This is a guy who got all his furniture at Ethan Allen. Nice desk. Wish there were a companion printer stand.

I love this desk. It took a while to put together (about 2 hours) but it was worth the effort. other reviews said they needed to drill pilot holes, but I didn't. Everything fit nicely with just the supplied cam screws, brackets and dowels, and it came with extras for those (like me) who are prone to lose small parts. It's very solid once assembled. Excellent value; I will buy furniture from Overstock again.

Don't be fooled, this desk is indeed sturdy if you take your time while putting it together. The instructions can be daunting at first, but take it slow and you'll end up with a large, beautiful desk. I'll admit at first I thought the desk was black when I opened the box. Not until you shine some light on it can you really see the espresso/brown shine through. The workspace is enormous and the hardware is beautiful. Looks much more expensive than what you pay for, although the top does seem to scratch pretty easily. There are two side drawers with lots of space. The front of the center drawer actually fold down and is a good space for your keyboard and mouse if you're using this as a computer desk. I am using Apple's wireless keyboard though which isn't full size, so I'm not sure if you could fit a full size keyboard and mouse in this tray. I highly recommend this desk! Very happy with my purchase.

really like this desk. it's the perfect height. I thought that I might have problems with that. Seems a little wiggly once you have it put together. But then maybe I'm leaning on it too hard.

Very impressed with packaging, materials, and instructions! Definite weight; slightly too heavy. Big desk! Not suitable if you wanted just a small place to rest a laptop. In my spare bedroom/office in a 2bdrm apt. Ended up also being more than suitable to double as a dining table to fit 4 people to even 6 people. (6 people would be a tight squeeze though... but it can work) Not going to lie... was definitely time consuming to assemble. At some moments would have helped having a second person; some components definitely heavy. All in all, not difficulty... just lengthy. Only complaint was that I was missing some pre-drilled holes and had to guesstimate approximate location... worked out fine though! End result was worth it! Amazing product at a very reasonable price!!

This is a great desk that looks really nice and is well-made. The finish is a very dark espresso and does not scratch easily. It is a very big desk so you will have plenty of desk space after setting up your computer, lamp, etc. for doing actual work on the desk. Assembly was easy as all parts are marked and all hardware is already in separately numbered bags. You will need a second person to help you lift the desk top onto the frame. The only drawback to the whole product is that the magnetic closure provided does not actually keep the desk front closed. I ended up installing a second magnetic closure from a hardware store and now it closes perfectly. Like others in their reviews said, this was a simple design flaw. I think this is an easy fix and not too much of an issue so is worth it because the desk is so nice. Already, I have received compliments on how beautiful it is! Given what is on the local market (e.g, pure particle board for only *** less or the same price), this desk is a steal!

Great desk. Took about 2 hours to assemble, but worth it. It is a good height for studying/writing/working on the computer.

This is a very nice desk. Nice quality for the price. Does need to be assembled but not difficult if you take your time read the instructions and have a little patience.

The desk is a quality product. The only downfall is the time it takes to assemble it. It will take you a couple of hours to put it together as the other reviews stated. But if you want a strong sturdy "real wood" desk, this is the one...

I love how great the desk looks. It was a bit of a pain to put together by myself (especially without a power drill). Seems to be a pretty solid desk as well, perfect size. The wood on the drawers started to split when screwing the rails onto the bottom, but it held together. The magnetic catch on the keyboard drawer does not latch very well. I have it as far forward as possible, but it can't handle the weight of the drawer.

Assembly is easy, but there are a lot of screws - this is a positive becase the screws add strength. The height is great for a desk top and the center drawer is a great height for a keyboard if you use this as a computer desk. Solid construction, nice design. Large desktop gives those extra few inches you wish you had once you load your desk with the accessories like stapler, pen holder, computer screen, etc.

My husband put this desk together in about 2 hours. It was a bit more difficult than he expected. But the result was a sturdy, beautiful desk. It's a bit bigger and higher than I expected but it looks great. Very happy with it.

I recently have become a telecommuter and needed a desk to fit in a small office space. Wanted something simple, not modular, and this desk was perfect. Color is a deep brown and exactly what I was looking for. Only took me about 1 1/2 hours to put together - directions are a little tricky but not bad. Only drawback is the arms of my chair do not fit under the desk so will need a desk chair with no arms, which is not a deal breaker for me, but may be for others (and I would rather replace the chair than the desk!).

I love this desk. Color is great. Size is a little wider than I expected. Putting it together it took my and & i about 1 hour. Only disappointment was the magnet to hold the computer keybord drawer in place does not hold the drawer upright. I will have to insert another magnet & will have this problem solved. Overall a great purchase!

Very versatile piece of furniture. Can be used as a spacious desk, or as a small dining room table. Have used it for over 6 months now and it is holding up well. Blends in nicely with my other furniture. Overstock was the only place I could find something like this.
