5.0 out of 5 stars | Beautiful
Color: Salt Oak
Pattern Name: Desk
I love this. It did take several hours to build but I did it mostly by myself (I'm a 42 year old woman) with the aid of a second person only at the stage of turning it over to put on the back panel. It's very sturdy and stable. My only complaints would be (1) the drawers are a little hard to reach due to the CPU cabinet being between you and them, and (2) the drawers are surprisingly small. The top 2 don't extend all the way to the back of the desk which creates a lot of wasted space and the drawers don't hold as much as I would like. The color itself is slightly cooler than the color in the photo but it's actually closer to what I wanted so I don't mind. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to discover there is a removable shelf in the CPU cabinet for those (like myself) who use a laptop, so it doesn't turn into more wasted space.

1.0 out of 5 stars | Waste of Money
Color: Salt Oak
Pattern Name: Desk
We spent so much money on this desk thinking it would be a good investment. We were wrong. Please save yourself some money and just purchase a desk that is this quality from your local Walmart for a fraction of the price. It's a bunch of pieces you must put together, but when you're done it looks great! Downside, you can't move it after assembling it. We moved out of our old place and the second they went to move it the wood began to shake and then pieces began to fall off. It's a beautiful desk but unless you're going to leave it in one place forever, don't purchase it. Save your money and purchase one elsewhere or spend big on one you can see in person and feel is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Quality Sauder Desk
Color: Salt Oak
Pattern Name: Desk
Excellent computer desk. Was shipped to me in 2 large double boxes to protect it. Took myself and 2 other helpers a little over 3 hours to put it together. All the parts were well marked and the instruction book was easy to read and follow. The only tools you'll need will be a hammer and Philips screwdriver to put it together. We were all very impressed with the finished product craftsmanship that Sauder puts into this desk! It's not the cheap, chintzy products they used to make. If you got 3 hours and some friends to help (don't do it by yourself) you're only 31 steps away from having a nice, well made, heavy piece of furniture you'll be proud to show off and use! Oh....and the color is perfect too!

5.0 out of 5 stars | A lot of work but worth it!
Color: Salt Oak
Pattern Name: Desk
this desk is beautiful and made from quality materials. The desk comes in 2 (very heavy) boxes that are marked with the hutch and the desk. The desk did take about 7 hours to put together, but it's a perfect size and so well made.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Beautiful desk!
Color: Salt Oak
Pattern Name: Desk
The hutch and desk pieces are all packaged together, so while you do receive two heavy boxes, it isn't one box for the hutch and one for the desk. It took my husband and I three hours to put the desk and hutch together. All the holes are pre-drilled, so it is just a matter of putting the right pieces together and tightening the screws. The desk is bigger than I expected and has plenty of room for storage. The color is beautiful and while this desk isn't solid wood, it does look very nice and like it cost more than it did. Definitely recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars | This looks nice when assembled and the instructions were clear and easy ...
Color: Antiqued White Finish
Pattern Name: Desk
The media could not be loaded. Shipping took forever but that was the freight company's problem, not Amazon or the seller. This looks nice when assembled and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. There were not missing parts and there were even a few extra screws, nails, just in case. All you need is a phillips screwdriver and a hammer to do the assembly. It will take you 2.5 - 3 hours to assemble. The unit is heavy, which is expected because it is almost 100% particle board. It's a desk that will last a long while if you leave it where you first build it. This kind of furniture isn't up to the task of getting moved a lot. A time lapse of what is in store for you is included in this review. Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars | Buyer beware!
Color: Salt Oak
Pattern Name: Desk
I am happy with this product overall. Issue #1: I only received one of two boxes. I waited a few days for the other one to show up before calling Sauder. It was discovered that the picking instructions for the Amazon folks was for one box. The information on the boxes is clear it is 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. Amazon quickly sent out the second box. Issue #2: There were two missing twist lock fasteners. Fortunately I had another piece of Sauder furniture to "steal" from. Sauder is sending out replacement parts, so only my second piece is delayed in being built. Issue #3: The image information for this desk is wrong (hopefully they will get this corrected soon. It is still wrong as of 3-25-21. This desk does not come with a finished back. It is just plain ugly cardboard. Sauder is sending me two finished back pieces so I can add them on. I will need to carefully trim off some notches to make them work, but it beats trying to return the desk. This was not discovered until the desk was mostly built. Sauder customer service is great and they worked quickly to resolve these issues. Of course the issues should not have occurred in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Gorgeous desk!!!
Color: Salt Oak
Pattern Name: Desk
Love this desk!! It was delivered in 2 extremely heavy boxes and it took my husband almost 3 hours to put it together... but it was so worth it!! The assembly instructions are very clear and simple to follow. The desk is very sturdy and solid weighing approximately 200 pounds. Keep in mind this is not solid wood and the laminate will chip and peel if something sharp digs into it. The color is gorgeous and will go will most any decor. Excellent design and storage, would definitely recommend.
