Love it!! Exactly what I needed !! ❤️❤️
I love this desk!!! Everything I need - a lot of surface space, hutch, under hutch space, drawer for misc stationary items, drawer/filing cabinet, another big drawer.. Took some time to put it together (2people), but instructions are good, everything fits perfectly. And looks amazing at my home office corner for all my needs: bills balancing and paying, Bible study, gardening planing, writing everyday journal. I love it and enjoy it!!!

Very poor instructions
Let me first start out by saying that the image for this is desk is great and that’s what sold me on the item but after that there isn’t much to get exciting about. Upon arrival from Wal-Mart the desk was damaged with a couple of tears in the box but I pressed on thinking it was only a slight nick. Well the instructions were not very clear and most of the pieces didn’t have the correct or no labels to mark which pieces they were; now I have put together quite a few of these type desk together over the years so following the instructions wasn't the problem. Now after about 2+ hours I was able to get the desk together completely and was somewhat pleased with the look and feel of the desk but I after all the labor I wouldn't recommend this desk not because of the quality because you can’t expect too much for $149 but because of the poor instructions it made the experience labor intensive and took the fun out of getting something new but I would say if you enjoy putting together jigsaw puzzles you will certainly enjoy this desk.

    unfinished furniture
    There was an issue of skipped steps in the assembly instructions, but the reason for the 1 star is that the desk is only finished on the side facing the seated user. The desk would only work if it is facing a wall. This did not work for us and we didn't realize it until assembly started. The drawers are also a little wonky and don't fit into place easily.

    Poor quality! Don't recommend at all!
    I would not recommend purchasing this desk. The drawers are not even and scrape together. You have to open the top drawer and middle drawer together because it's cut to long and there's no space to open separately. The drawers front is already loose and had to be glued. Overall very upset that I wasted this amount of money on a big piece of junk.I would return it but it's already built and the box is destroyed.

    Very Good
    I do like the overall look of the desk . The desk size is decent with hutch gives an extra space to decorate / place things . However the image looks like there are 3 drawers but thats not true . It has 2 drawers with two merged and one separate . Overall the desk is good and sturdy . Not really easy to move because its heavy.

    broken pieces
    I bought one for myself first, and show picture to my aunt, then she likes it as well. So I bought two in two days, delivery is fast, as we live in condo on 3rd floor, they just leave on the main entrance of first floor, fortunately nobody steal it. But it comes out so heavy, I have to open it then move to my garage one by one. When I built this one, even really careful, but one piece in broken. The desk is not real wood, made by wood cuttings and sawdust. really easy to broken. Now i can only use one desk as it is too heavier to move if I buy another one.

    Very solid desk, looks great
    I bought this desk for my new home office. It looks great and feels very heavy and sturdy. It took some effort to put together. You could probably do it alone, but I'd recommend having 2 people. The back side is un-finished, but I've got it against a wall so it doesn't matter.

    Nice desk for the price
    Overall, I am please with the desk. I had actually found the same identical desk on another website for more money. I feel I did get the best price available for it. It arrived earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. My son was able to put the desk together fairly quickly using the directions provided. The only bad thing was when the desk arrived, it appeared one of the front corners was chipped. We were able to conceal it with wood touch-up stain. Overall, however, the desk is very nice and I'm pleasantly happy with my purchase.

    For the love of all things holy do not buy this.
    I am the first one to expect very little when buying furniture like this but in this case, its way worse than expected. We bought this for my wife. I was going to convert it into a makeup vanity since she just had to have massive drawers. It wasn't too bad to assemble. The instructions were, surprisingly, very comprehensive although some of the parts did not have labels. The hardware which was included also was not too bad. The problem is the material. It's like the thing is made out of match sticks. Any wrong move and you will break a lot of important pieces. We scratched the finish during assembly. We just covered that with a place mat. Now the major problem was when we had to move the desk into its permanent home. A little resistance from the carpet and the whole right side of the desk started crumbling like a cookie in a fat kids mouth. If you can manage to assemble this thing in the most delicate fashion. Move it into place without destroying the base structure, and never ever set anything on it, it actually looks like it is well built and has a nice finish. Yet, all of that would be a lie. This desk is worth maybe 30 bucks.

    Very Pleased!!!
    After reading some of the reviews online, I decided to take a chance on this desk and I am SO glad I did. It's exactly what we were looking for! Although it took a bit of patience and re-reading the directions to get it put together, it was well worth it. This desk is very sturdy and solid! There is no finished backing in case you wanted to place it in the center of a room or facing outward, however, ours is against a wall so it wasn't an issue for us. I would have given it 5 stars except on the website it stated it had 4 drawers, but only has 3. Not an issue here because it still has great storage space. Overall, I am convinced that you could not find a better desk for this price.
