Nice table for the money and just what I needed
I'm a lady of 79 years. I put this together with no help. Beware the package when it comes is very heavy. I was able to tip it into the house. Super packaging. All parts, desk and hardware were in the package. I used the instruction book every step of the way. I did have to use the the electric drill as a screwdriver. If you don't have access to a drill it will be very difficult to screw in all the screws that come with this. It took me several hours to put it together but I took my time to get it right. I use it all the time for my computer. It is solid, no movement as you work on it. The drawer is great. Two of the back pieces are not finished. Because I use it where the back shows I simply painted those 2 boards black - can't tell I did it. I put this together on a table so I was not bending over on the floor. If you are Handy and have the correct tools this is a great table for the money.

Unusable parts....But good company satisfaction.
I gave this three stars because upon receiving this I immediately started putting this together. I counted all the parts and pieces and they were all there. So I proceeded from there. While putting the desk together I noticed leg pieces were missing the holes for the screws to go through. So I wasn't able to put the table together. I was highly upset. I went to the company's website and they have a 5 year warranty. I just simply chose the parts that I needed a replacement with. I received my new replacement parts within a week free of charge . I was able to put the table together. I am really quite pleased with the table outcome. Also happy with the Sauder company customer service. I do recommend this table it has some good use and potential. Just make sure all parts are there and holes for the screws to go through.

    Great table ! :-)
    My twelve year old put this together in 30 mins or less. He even figured out how to tilt the screws for the legs. The only complaint I have it's a little wobbly. But over all very nice!! :-)

    Sturdy 'n Stylish
    I'm a single 50+ female and purchased this table online for delivery. I must say when I opened the box to take out all the pieces, it was a bit intimidating at first. But I'm always up to a challenge so I followed the instructions and put it together all by myself. It looks great in my home office. It could be a little bigger since I'm using it as a desk but it's working out okay. Would recommend this writing table to friends.

    Beautiful table, wife loves it
    I got this writing table for my wife who works at home on a Chromebook (small laptop) and she loves it. Table is sturdy, color is beautiful, assembly instructions are good but expect to spend an hour or so on it. The "cinnamon cherry" color is just a very dark brown, so the photo shown here is accurate. The one tiny thing that bothered me is that the drawer handle is plastic & feels a little cheap. You hardly notice it once it's set up, though, so not worth losing a rating star over :)

    Great value
    For the price it was great. I put it together myself. (I am a senior, female) it took me 3 hours. I broke a piece while putting together. Called the manufacturer & they are sending me the piece no charge to me. The instructions for assembly were very clear & precise.

    Perfect for a small space
    Love it! Served its purpose. I needed a study area for a small space and this fit the bill.

    Not bad for its price at all, sturdy for its type
    Everything would be perfect if... One of the details (B) - for assembling the drawer was not finished. The holes were not pre-made (some of the holes are shaped oddly, so I could not just drill such holes). In other words, I wasn't able to install the drawer at all by myself. However, my dad - a man with tools and skills made it done. Otherwise, I had to try to replace the detail by dealing with either Wallmart or manufacturer, and wait for it for another forever (it's a pain). Other than above problem, assembling is not bad, the desk is cute (can go as a contemporary piece just for decorative needs, as well as the desk). I don't know yet how easily its surface would get scratched though; so far mine is fine. My two cats jumped on and off - nothing happened. If there was a better looking (not as cheap looking) handle for the drawer - would be great. I also shopped around Kmart, IKEA, Target, Home Depot, etc. - all similar desks are much more $$ than this one. I guess it is a good deal.

    Amazing Deal
    I was skeptical about purchasing this desk because of the low price, but I went with this product because of the previous reviews. The desk arrived in a timely manner, and the instructions were very clear. Only took me an hour at the most to assemble everything. Desk has very clean lines, and looks a lot more expensive then it is. My only change would be the drawer handle, because in the pictures it looks metal but it's actually plastic that is painted a silver color. Also the desk doesn't look like a cinnamon cherry color, but more like the brown/black furniture from Ikea.
