This desk was very easy to put together. All you had to do was screw on the legs and knob for the drawer. It came with the all the tools, so once you open box you don't have leave to get any other tools. I didn't need any assistance and it was done in less than 15 mins. The dark brown color is very rich. The drawer slides with ease. Its a great desk for a small workspace and very simple, sleek and modern.
i wasn't expecting this nice of a desk. very solid, well made. took 5 minutes to assemble. came in two boxes. highly recommend. only slight issue was the fastening screw to the drawer knob did not fit, wasn't long enough. i had one that fit by chance. otherwise, 10 out of 10.
This desk was very easy to assemble and matches the picture, but I did have a couple issues with it. The angle that the legs screw in are a bit off from each other. It is not obvious, but noticeable. After only a month, a four inch crack developed on the top, and I have no idea why. There were no heavy items placed on it and it wasn't exposed to humidity. The unexplainable cracking is the main reason for the 3 star rating.
I get so many compliments for this desk, as it is absolutely gorgeous! I purchased this item after carefully searching online for weeks until I was able to locate exactly what I wanted. I have many memories with this piece of furniture a year and a half later, and if anything ever happened to it I'd be devastated. Great Offer Stock gave me a phenomenal deal on the price too! I paid less then $150 when another competitive retailer was offering the identical desk for $499!!!! Some assembly is required but from start to finish it takes all of 5 minutes to put the legs in place and secure with the supplied bolts and washers. I will say that there is no better writing desk on the earth that can measure up. It is made up of real wood, with a superb tobacco stain and I've spent hundreds if not thousands of hours sitting at it so I'm very familiar as to its quality and craftsmanship. This is the kind of furniture that gets passed down through the family and inspires good conversation. I'd own half a dozen of them if I had room in the house. I'm so grateful for my desk, and to Great Offer Stock for supplying me with this great purchase opportunity.
It assembled easily (no grumbles from my husband) and it is the quintessential writing desk for my purposes. Sturdy and a rich, deep color, straight lines and simple in my eclectic office decor.
I purchased this for use in my vacation home. It's a good-sized writing desk with a drawer. The finish looks really good, and it was easy to put together. I'm glad I bought it and I would buy other items from the same collection. They look well-made and are very reasonably priced. I believe it's solid wood.
I have been looking for a solid wood writing desk for months and just couldn't bear to par Pottery Barn prices. This desk is a beautiful piece, is perfectly described, assembled easily and half the price of anything comparable. I couldn't be more pleased
I ordered this desk because it looked nice, the reviews were good and the description stated that is was made of rubber wood. Unfortunately, the drawer is made of MDF. There is a piece of rubber wood across the front that matches the rest of the desk but the inside parts of the drawer are not rubber wood. The inside of the drawer isn't even a dark brown color. It is a weird taupe color and looks hideous. I am deeply disappointed. The matching console I bought from the set is great but one of my main reasons for buying this set and not others is because I didn't want MDF/particle board furniture. The description is misleading and needs to be amended. Perhaps the desk originally was made of all rubber wood and later products were changed. I am saddened by this. If I had known, I would not have bought the set. The price was really reasonable. I would have gladly paid more for a desk made completely of rubber wood. If this had been made of all rubber wood, I would have given it 5 stars. Instead, I give it 2. Other than the drawer issue, the desk seems sturdy, looks like the picture and is easy to assemble (unlike the console where I had to pre-drill several holes before inserting wood screws into the rubber wood.)
I searched for weeks in-store and online for desks for my sons' rooms (age 11 and 14). I wanted something basic that would hold up through High School. I looked at this desk at greatofferstock.com several times before making the decision to purchase two of these desks. I am extremely happy with the purchase. I was amazed at the quality for the price. These are solid wood desks (no particle board). The desk top and legs were shipped in two different boxes. Assembly was simple. The tops are a bit heavy, but I managed to carry each one up a flight of stairs. Attaching the legs was very easy. I had each one out of the packaging and set up within 30 minutes. This desk is a terrific value.
I'm so pleased with this purchase. If you are looking for an elegant, solid wood writing desk that will fit in with your MCM style, I'd highly recommend this one. The surface are fits my two laptops plus lamp and assorted papers. It's very easy to assemble--just screw on the legs.
Very solid piece. All wood - no MDF. Coffee color is perfect - compliments existing walnut in room quite well. Easy assembly. Shipping was timely and it was well packaged. Looked like a fork from a lift pierced the box, but upon opening, I could see how the packaging saved it. Reason only a good rating for style? The legs are round/tapered - hard to tell from the picture - thought they were square tapered. Well worth the $***plus change.
We wanted a sturdy desk with simple lines for occasional use of a laptop and were pleasantly surprised with this purchase. Attachment of legs and the drawer knob took 10 minutes. The delivery is in two packages--desk top and hardware in one and a smaller package with the four legs in another. The desk is heavy--can be moved by one person but two is better. The drawer is small and suitable for power cords and a few writing implements but not much more. Overall this is perfect for what we wanted it for--an uncluttered, sturdy place to use a laptop and a desk lamp.
This is gorgeous, heavy, and solid. Very little assembly required.
The desk arrived on time and in two boxes: one for the desk and one for the legs, which are quite long and made completely of wood. No veneers here. The desk was easy to put together and much taller than I expected, but the perfect height for working. The joins in the wood are beautifully done and the desk itself is well constructed and beautiful. This is definitely heirloom material and will likely outlast me. Simply beautiful and quite serviceable.
I'm glad I took the advice of the other reviewers and spent a little more than I had planned on this desk. It's made of wood and the quality shows. It looks great in my living room, even though most of my other furniture is antique. As a single woman I was dreading the assembly but it's not too bad - it took me about 30 minutes alone. The hardest part was picking up the desk and flipping it after I'd screwed the legs in. It is heavy but it is doable (I'm 5"4 and 120lbs but in my 30s fairly strong for my size). I've had the desk for a few weeks and I've yet to notice any downsides.
We needed a small but classy desk with good lines and this desk fit the bill. It is perfect. The screw for the drawer pull handle is too small so we needed to get a new screw for it but other than than it is a perfect desk for a small study or desk for a room.
Perfect desk for our little space!
Was completely happy with the desk, it is attractive in its simple design and fits in with other types of furnishings. It had a little dent in the corner of the top of the desk (probably shipping damage), and slight damage to the inside of the drawer. Both these things did not destroy the look or functionality of the desk and I kept it rather than returning it.
I was hesitant about purchasing furniture on-line without seeing it but was very surprised at the quality and condition when I received it and put it together. I assembled it myself. It did not take long and was very easy to do. I love the desk and use it all the time. I would recommend it.
I love this desk, it is actually very heavy and sturdy. Solid wood. Almost no assembly required The drawer fits a couple files and supplies.
