I had this desk for about 2 weeks and the best decision I made was going with the vender Staples has that assembles items at your home. Yes it adds to the cost of the desk but they have it buit in about 2.5/3 hours and everything is perfect and made sure I looked over it before they left. I purchased this in the maple color and I love it becuase most of my place is in dark wood or cherry wood. This just lightens up the home office area and is perfect for my new 24 inch Sony touch screen computer I also purchases the same day from staples. I just love my home office and look at staples much differantly becuase of the fantastic deal I recieved on all my new equiptment I just purchases from there including a new printer a few days after : ) Very happy customer!

OMG! What fool put the cheap ugly plastic feet on this desk. It ruined my whole perception of the desk. I owned same desk (the 60" though) prior to this and it had wood feet. This is JUNK solely because of the feet! I can't believe someone would put their band name on this. I say we make them give a REAL wood feet. OMG!!!

I use this desk for my home business as well as some college coursework. My husband and father-in-law put it together one day while I was at work. They're pretty handy and didn't report any problems not did they say it took them an uncommonly long time to assemble it.
This desk is rather heavy, especially with the hutch attached. I highly recommend assembling it in the room where you plan to keep it, and as close to its final location as possible.
I was able to get the desk and hutch during one of the "free hutch with desk" promotions, and I am so glad I did. The hutch is a nice finishing touch.

I love this desk, but I also looked at a number of desks and knew exactly what I was getting.
This is a large, complicated desk. It was made more so by the matching hutch, which I also purchased. This is a very good quality press-board desk with a standard wood grain covering. For the price, this desk is an excellent buy, but if you want a hardwood stained desk that will resist scratches and fit together perfectly, look to spend at least four times this price.
The desk is very large. I am 6'2" and I had a few problems with the large pieces in the last stages. It took me just under five hours to fully assemble the desk and hutch and move the finished product into place. I would recommend two people and the right tools to get it done. I would also say that even with all the right tools and experience assembling items like this, it took me five hours, so if you have not assembled something like this, give yourself lots of time. You will also need lots of space to work with. I would also recommend that you read all the instructions carefully before beginning. There are things that seem silly early on in the instructions that turn out to be important later. It is made of press-board, so the "hit it with a big hammer" school of engineering will not work to assemble this and will almost certainly damage it. The covering of the desk (the coating that looks like wood grain) is thin. If you scratch it with something metal or lay it on the wrong kind of flooring, it will permanently scar it. I used a blanket to keep it from touching the floor during assembly and it is scratch free.
After setting the desk up I found that there were some small design issues, but they are partly from my odd work arrangements, most notably my extremely large computer and the need to set up multiple LCD's. I work from home three days per week and my home office is my primary workspace, so this desk is a big part of my work life. It is sturdy and all the drawers and cabinet doors work well. The hutch fit perfectly in place and the brackets to hold it fit well.
The surface will scratch easily. I covered the main workspace with two plastic desk covers (thick pieces of clear plastic that cover part of the desk, you can get them at any office store) and that solved the scratch problem on the main workspace.
The desk has plenty of space and is a sturdy platform for working.
This is a great desk if you know what you are getting. This is an excellent quality press-board desk with a wood veneer covering. For the money it was a fantastic buy and I love it as a workspace. Basically I love this desk. Just be sure to do your research and know what you are purchasing.

Poor quality – I would not recommend – laminate is just like a thin sheet of paper - can easily get damaged.

People place files on my desk everyday. I've had this desk for a little over 1 year and there are little "knicks" all over from the back part of a staple to a paper clip. The slighest movement on the desk of either of these two creates a knick. The edging on the desk is chipping and where the two corners meet is sagging.

Overall I would not recommend this desk. Spend the money on a "real" wood desk.
