The instructions looked scary, but the assembly was fairly easy. Seems pretty solid for under $500!

Too Big
Once the desk was put together a few days ago it was too big for my office and I am now unable to close my office door.
And there were too many pieces to put together.
Not Happy!
Thanks!

Good quality but it is manufactured wood
Design is pretty good and was able to assemble alone in 5-6 hours.

Awful instructions
Not only were diagrams mid labeled but the instructions were horrible. Very hard to follow. I even had a piece that didn’t have pre drilled holes so that was fun to figure out.
I would NOT recommend this and I wish I never purchased it.

Nice desk
This desk is being used for a home workstation, daily use. I really like the look of the desk, and it was reletively easy to assemble. The only reason I didn't put a 5th star was because the cabinet side is a little skinnier than I had thought it would be. The drawer side is a wider, which is nice.

So far so good
Went together easy only issue was one of the long screws has a smooth shaft like the screw teeth were never cut in it? Picked up a replacement at HD and all good.

Exceptionally well made
I love my new desk! It's BIG, and very sturdy!
I've put together a lot of furniture in my years, and this one is the best by far. The pre-drilled holes are practically perfect, especially given the fact that the desk could be built in 2 different directions. The instructions were great for me, but I could see where some people might have some trouble. You really (REALL...

Looks great. Took about 10
Looks great. Took about 10 hours to assemble - directions were not always clear. Where Part B and Part A join is a bit flimsy went out and invested in piano hinges to make it more sturdy.

Decent looking for the price - difficult to put together
This is not easy to put together. Instead of making this with one or two screw types which they could there is six to eight types many similar in size. If you use the wrong for one purpose you may find the other does not work where you want it too.
In short either have Staples put this together or be prepared for many hours of work and some frustration.

Beauty of a desk
I love this desk. My reason for only giving it a 4 star rating is because of the way they packaged the screws. They came in one bag, all individually wrapped, but no identifacation numbers on the bags. They also put two different screws in a few of the bags. I had to open each bag, get the book, ID each one, and put them in a container with the number on it. Not only th...

Bush desk
We are very happy with the quality of our new desk. My husband is a woodworker, and he knows how to assemble it. At this time, however, he has found that the assortment of screws was not complete when it arrived. Some were lacking. Thanks for the opportunity to reply.

Beautiful desk
You do not need two people to assemble. If you can put batteries in a remote you can also assemble this by yourself.

Great Desk
Great Desk for the price, took me about 3-4 hours to put together - the instructions were pretty clear. The desk itself is of nice quality and I would recommend.

Great Desk
I love this desk. Nice deep desk top. This is the second time I purchased one of these; I purchased one a few years ago for my husband's office.
The only problem I had was that the side panels of the desk block the wall outlets. I had to drill a two inch opening on the desk top and four inch opening on the lower panels and put in grommets so I could access the wall out...

Wonderful work space
I LOVE this desk. The only bad part of it is that the tray for the keyboard is too low but the desktop is perfect and you have so much space that it doesn't matter. Well worth the money and not horribly difficult to put together.

Better than I expected
I recently furnished a small home office. I bought the large L desk, 2 drawer file cabinet and the credenza. I am in the process of purchasing the book shelf unit. This style when assembled is very attractive. I like the lighter color because of the "dust". It was relatively easy to assemble and looks like it will hold up well. The down side is the particle board weight...
