Writing/Computer Desk

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.

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!

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very high quality product with all parts marked and relatively easy to assemble. The only drawback is the magnetic closure is not enough to keep front closed.

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