Desk is very functional for my purpose. Relatively easy to put together. The cover for the middle pencil drawer was improperly drilled and the holes were off line. I had to turn the cover over and reattach to the drawer. It was then necessary to drill a new hole through the front of the drawer in order to attach the drawer knob. I sent an email to the manufacturer explaining the issue but never heard back.Directions were very clear step by step. When they say you might need a second person, YOU DO. The attaching pieces ( like bolts) are finicky, easy to break, definitely need another person for certain parts. It’s beautiful when “finally” completed and very sturdy.I’m sure a handy guy or gal would have had an easier time assembling. But it’s totally doable.I had planned to put router and cable box on top shelf of computer table side cabinet. They don’t fit. Wire outlets to the back of table are wonky. The mouse cord barely has enough reach to be usable. However I think that could be fixed easily. The computer tower fits well.This duo was assembled in a bed room my recently disabled hubby is using. It looks great and I’m working on organizing the electronics.What I love about this company is the very clear directions and videos available for construction. Parts are separated and labeled in one large flat package. Follow the directions When they say you might need another person, you do. I’d buy again from this company.Was damaged in shipping but didn’t want to rebox it to return, the box is really heavy would prefer two boxes. Was fairly ok to assemble, the drawer slides were hard to get even so one drawer isn’t leveled and another shuts farther in , could probably fix it but didn’t want to unscrew the slides. Overall it’s a nice desk and pretty color.Takes about 4 hours to assemble, but well worth it. I left the pencil drawer off to allow for more legroom. Instructions are very clear, make sure to follow them carefully. In order to assemble this properly, you will need at least a 10' x 10' area to lay out all the parts and pieces. They have designed this desk in a way that makes it very hard to put it together incorrectly. Parts only mate in the correct direction, so putting something in backward or the wrong way is almost impossible to do. Love the assembly manual, this company clearly has some clever and creative folks on staff.I bought this desk and three other Sauder furniture items. All came promptly and undamaged. All had excellent, easy to follow instructions. I am very pleased with each item.Don't let the price let you think this desk is not of good quality. It is heavy duty! But have help setting it up if you're like me and get confused by instructions lolI am very pleased with this desk. It is well made and very heavy. Came in 2 boxes without any damage. It took my husband about 1.5 hours to put it together but it was not difficult. Just a number of steps. I would highly recommend this item. Paying over 3 months was a plus.Bought this desk for my husband. He put computer tower behind cabinet door. We also bought the matching filing cabinet. Both pieces are really handsome! Solid, sturdy.
