Functions well, nice looking
OK, to start, this desk is not a high end piece of furniture. It made from compressed particle board with laminate on top to make it look nice. Then again, it doesn't cost much either, so for the money this is a nice piece of furniture. My guess is that it will hold up for a few years before my son has worn it out, but then again, that's what I wanted. I didn't want to spend a lot for a high end piece of furniture that he would destroy.
Figure it takes about an hour to put together. It's heavy and bulky, so you'll want to put it together in the room you plan on using it in.
All in all, this is a nice desk at a good price, but don't expect it to be something you'll pass down to your heirs.

Of the Utmost Lowest Quality
As you can see from my Overall Rating I'm very disappointed in this product. I purchased this for my Daughter to use as a inexpensive desk to use for her school studies.
Here's the problems as I see them.
1) The finish is splotchy.
2) The particle board is of such poor quality that it crumbles easily.
3) The particle board is so thin that when the screws went into the pre-drilled holes the veneer either bulged or "broke-out" so that you could see unfinished wood.
4) The handles are made of plastic.
I've purchased several pieces of un-assembled furniture for my house and have never seen anything quite like piece.

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/18/2017Nice, roomy desk but problem with the drawerI was so excited to find an affordable desk with an attached hutch! It is a very roomy desk with a ton of storage, but compact enough for my rather small room. It took about 1.5 hours to put the desk together since there are a lot of pieces.The color is nice, but seems prone to scratches. The problem I had was with the drawer. I believe there was a manufacturing error in that they did not provide holes in which to screw in the rolling mechanisms. However, there is enough storage that I don't even need the drawer anyway. I suppose I will have to drill the holes myself. All in all, this is a good desk, and I would definitely recommend it.NightOwl

3.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/04/2014sturdy and fashionable, but offthis desk is great for your needs. I like the color and appearance! The issues with the desk is the drill holes for the drawer and the cabinet are wrong. After I put the whole thing together the door was lopsided and edges stood out, and the drawer stuck out about an inch. the screw holes were placed in the wrong spot. needs to be fixed!anicknamemacg6

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/28/2014Fantastic desk!I've been eyeing this desk for a while, since it appealed to a lot of my needs(and wants)- It looks good. It could be better, but for the price, it's gorgeous. Just to keep some wary though- the setup itself is easy, but if you're doing it alone, you are going to get really tired. I'm pretty sure you need 2 people, especially when lifting the desk up, or moving it, but I'm stubborn. Also, pay attention when you're putting it together. Everything it labeled fine, but I had a habit of getting lost in the work, only to find out I have to undo something because I put the wrong piece on the wrong side. This is a personal mistake, not the fault of the desk or instructions, but putting it out there so others don't make the same mistakes. I've had this desk for less than a month, but I'm extremely happy with this sturdy, useful desk.GeekyNightOwl

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/13/2014Looks wonderful once put togetherWe searched and searched for a desk that offered storage and fit into the small space we had to set it up. Please know that while the directions are very good, this will definitely take a good bit of time to put together as it comes in MANY pieces. The only issue we had on set up was the holes for the rails for the drawer were originally drilled incorrectly so it would not shut. Thankfully, my husband simply drilled new holes and it works just fine. It looks wonderful when it is put together. It looks much more epxensive than what we paid for it and the dimensions are perfect for our home office. I would definitely recommend this desk.Jaime828

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser10/17/2013Great desk!This is a great desk! I love the color and I love that I was able to get one with a hutch on top for such a low price. My dad put it together for me so I'm not entirely sure how easy it was but it didn't take him very long and he didn't seem to have any complaints so I'm assuming it wasn't hard. My only complaints are that when it arrived, there was a small dent on one of the edges on the top part, and that the back panel (the part behind where you see the laptop) is not a full wood panel, it's just like a thin sheet. It doesn't look terrible, I guess, I just would have preferred a full wood back.AddictedShopaholic

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/07/2013Nice Computer deskThis is a nice computer desk, however, I would have it so that you can have options like the wall between where the monitor would go and possibly a printer just to the left of that to be able to remove that partition so that you can fit just about any printer there. Also, I had to take off the front face there the keyboard would/could go. If you leave the front in tact, using your keyboard would be very uncomfortable. I took ours off and it works MUCH better. I would make the front so that it would go flat and even with the drawer where the keyboard would/could go. Other than those suggestions, it is very useful and does not take up a lot of room, which is good to have! I gave the "GOOD" ratings because they do not offer color options and like what I noted above.30ModelA
