Love It!
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy

I fell in love when I first saw this in the store, but it took me almost a year before I decided to purchase because I did not like the price at the time. When it finally went on sale for the price I was willing to pay I ordered it online. It was very easy to assemble and it is very sturdy. I have had it for about a year and nine months now and it is still going strong. No issues or problems. I love it.

Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy

We bought this desk for my hubby about 1 1/2 years ago to replace an old desk in preparation of putting our house up for sale. the desk was the perfect size, style and very versatile. had all the space we needed. Very sleek nice look. when we moved into a new house with a loft, we purchased a 2nd desk to match for me and i love it. we've had no issues with either desk. i always shop around before buying and this was definitely the right choice and the right price. other stores had more expensive desks that didn't come close to being as good as this one.

Better than expected
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy

I'm a firm believer in hiring someone to do EVERYTHING as I'm not mechanically inclined whatsoever, but for some reason I always tackle my own furniture assembly. Usually I vocally proclaim, "This is why I hire someone to do EVERYTHING" several times. However, I only said that once during this assembly. It took a while, but in the end, no parts were missing, the desk is in great shape, and thankfully it is an awesome replacement to the $50 junker we bought a couple years ago that is too small and barely hanging in there. This is a sturdy desk and I'm glad I didn't hire someone to put it together. If I can handle it... anyone can! You just have no idea. LOL...

Sturdy, Quality Desk
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy

I bought this desk as a replacement to a smaller, flimsy desk. This desk is HUGE. It did take a few hours to put together, but that was because I kept stopping to do other things, like order dinner and bathroom breaks. It went together very easily, without any problems at all. There is plenty of storage space. I do not use the keyboard shelf for the keyboard, but for an addition place to store my notebook for school. I also have the CPU on top of the desk, and use the cupboard as storage for my printer paper, and other miscellaneous items. The file drawer is very useful, as are the two other drawers. I have my printer on top of the desk as well, and I still have plenty of surface area to work with. I would definitely buy this item again, as it is sturdy in addition to being a good bargain.

Complicated.....
Cons: Easily Damaged, Quality: Flimsy, Unaligned

I spent over 4 hours putting this together. The instructions were inaccurate, the parts were not the correct sizes, and the corners of the drawers broke because the wood is not good quality. I would not recommend this product for anyone unless, you have the patience.

good desk for the price
Pros: Appearance/Design, functional
Cons: Difficult to Assemble, Easily Damaged, Size & Weight

This is a nice, solid desk. There were only a couple of problems with it. 1st. it took my husband and I 4 hours to put it together because of the difficulty of identfying the parts. 2nd. a couple of the pieces were nicked or scratched. Not quite badly enough to take it apart and send it back but enough so you can see the damage. Over all I would recommend this desk.

Great Value
Pros: Appearance/Design, functional, Quality of Material, Well Made/ Sturdy

This is a great desk for the money. We got it on sale and then had a $20 coupon so we paid around $80 for it!

It took about 2-3 hours to put it together. The hardest part was figuring out what all the different pieces were.

It holds a lot and is a good size. Plus it is really sturdy and doesn't look like it is a $150 desk! I love the space with drawers and that it has a cabinet for the CPU, so that isn't exposed or sitting on the floor.

Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material

I went to many stores and tried many desks. This desk meets my expectations completely.
First, there is plenty of space on the desk. You can put your monitor, printer, scanner and the rest of your stuff without any cluttering. Secondly, you will have lots of spaces in the drawers and case compartment (if ever used as computer case). Most of the desks have one drawer and you have to get a storage cabinet to store your stuff. Thirdly, it is sturdy, stable, and firm. This is very important for me. Most of the computer desks are shaky and unstable which is not a good thing for the computer case (yes, you need to put it on a stable place so that you would not damage the sensitive electronics inside the case). Finally, piecewise is convenient. Given the entire feather that this desk is got to offer, it is definitely a deal. If you are looking for comfortable, solid desk with many storage places, this is IT.

Nice computer desk - with one problem
Pros: Appearance/Design, features, functional, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: not ergonomic design unless user modified

I have a large desk at my office but needed a separate computer desk. Got this on sale for $99. It is a very sturdy, good-looking desk that is actually pretty big. It's not a deep, executive-type desk, but very wide for a computer desk. Drawers and cabinet area are nice and there is plenty of room on desktop for my laptop, a monitor, and printer, with room to spare.

It is quite heavy. I got it to my office and with no one around to help me carry it, I opened the box in my car and made 4 or 5 trips carrying pieces into my office. Took 2-3 hrs to put together - not difficult, but time-consuming. A power drill/driver is very helpful. All of the pieces fit together perfectly.

Here's the problem: the keyboard drawer is unusually high, about 27" from the floor. Every other desk at Office Depot had a drawer 25-26" from the floor. My home computer desk has a drawer about 24 1/2" from the floor. The keyboard on this desk is at an uncomfortable position - it would kill my shoulders to use the keyboard drawer as it comes. For me this is not a big deal - I'm going to drill pilot holes and screw the drawer rails in about 2" below where they go out of the box. (I'm waiting to get a new office chair and then I will put the drawer at the optimum height.) Additionally, the drawer is very close to the top of the desk, so that if you like to use the keyboard in the tilted position (tabs raised on bottom of keyboard), the drawer will not slide back into the desk with keyboard tilted.

If you don't mind correcting this problem yourself, or if you are a tall person who uses your chair at a higher than average position, this is about as good a desk as you will find for the money.

Excellent product
Pros: Appearance/Design, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: Difficult to Assemble, Size & Weight

This desk is incredibly well designed and all the parts are manufactured to a very high tolerance. The instructions are well put together and the finished desk looks great, with some really nice design touches. Construction took a couple of hours, and the package requires two people to carry it, but this is an all round excellent purchase.

Great looks and value!
This is a beautiful piece of furniture, especially for the price. The door and drawers all line up nicely, but that took a little time and effort. Easy to follow instructions. This was a great choice!

Sturdy desk
Pros: sturdy, good keyboard tray
Cons: door hinge adjustment

I bought this desk about two years ago. Very pleased with it. Assembly wasn't too bad, though having an extra person definitely helps, especially when putting on desktop.
Desk is very strong and has held up well. Only real negative is the door hinge which I've never been able to get exactly right. There were two minor blemishes out of carton, but doesn't concern me in my home office.
Other reviewers say they bought recently for $99 online - I paid $167 in 2006. But even at that price, I can't complain.

Fantastic desk and you can't beat the price!
Pros: sturdy, length & height

I was a little hesitatant to purchase this desk - as it was only $99 and my home office is half of our family's income. I need a substantial desk that can take a beating. I have to say - this desk was a great purchase. It is strong, sturdy and attactive. It can hold a large quantity of equipment and files while still allowing for working space. It was fairly easy to put together (2 hours) - as all of the parts are labeled and easily assembled.

I think this is a great desk for a home office.
