Bought this desk for my office after I bought the same BUSH desk but larger one of 70" long on both sides. This time I wanted the smaller version of it, and bought this one thinking it would have the same attractive look; but it DID NOT! The back panels that covers/closes the drawer part and computer are very cheap looking with black nails on it that stand out more than anything(look at the picture attached). We have to nail them in place and the nails stand out because they are black! So if you decide to have your customers sit across from you with this desk, they will be looking at black nails holding this cheap looking board!! Not a good look if you are looking to have a nice peace of furniture. I would recomend that if you have the space, def. get the bigger desk, it's beautiful in every since way! I have 2 already and love it, everyone that walks in loves it too!

    7 years, 3 states, still going strong

      Comments about Bush® Somerset 60" Compact L-Desk, Maple Cross Finish:

      I bought most of this collection in 2005 or so (all but the bookcase, which I'm about to buy after all these years, believe it or not) for a full-time home office. It's very very heavy, very thick particle board, sleek-looking, sturdy and professional looking.

      When I bought this I was living in an apartment in NJ. It survived a move (and reassembly) to a rented house in CT a year later, and then a move all the way to my first house in Atlanta 2 years after that.

      Even after nearly seven years, it's in great shape - if you buy this, get used to it, it's going to last you a looonnng time. The front edge of the desk, which I lean against, rest against, bump against, etc. for 12 hours a day, every day, is starting to get just a little "pulpy", where it's starting to degrade. That's a very long lifespan for something I expected to be throwaway furniture. The lateral file is a little saggy and doesn't quite line up when I push the drawers in, but I've also had it heavily loaded for (again) 7 years. The hutch stays put just fine with a couple of brackets screwed into the back for stability.

      It's very heavy, especially in the l-shaped configuration, so do yourself a favor and put furniture sliders under the legs before you load it up with books, papers, files, printers and computer monitors. Over the years I've drilled large holes in the surface and the vertical backboard in various places to allow me to run cables and such - it takes a serious drill with a serious bit to take out a 3" hole in this very serious wood.

              A:

              Due to the shape of this product it would be difficult to assemble alone. Assembly can vary based on previous experience. If you were to assemble this desk alone, your should plan to spend up to 8-10 hours assembling this desk. To place an order for this item, please contact us by dialing 1-800-333-3330.

              Barely. You tack two skins onto the back to make it look finished from a distance with poor eyesight. I would not buy this if you really expect the back to be exposed. You will be disappointed.

              It can be assembled with the CPU and the drawers swaped, but the keyboard is always next to the CPU. The insructions clearly show two options to set this up. The CPU top is deeper than the drawer side.
