Beautiful Desk. Looks classy and expensive.
It took six hours to put together, BUT it is beautiful. It's sturdy and has helped to clear a lot of office clutter I had lying around. I should mention that the little cabinet on the lower right is a compartment specifically for the hard drive of your computer. The backing has a nice big hole for ventilation to prevent over-heating although it is a good idea to go ahead and keep the door open while the computer is on. Overall, I love this desk and I HOPE it lasts many years. Remember it looks like solid wood, but it is recycled pressed wood shavings dressed fancy.

5 hour assembly
Only buy this of you have the patience to build. it took me 5 hours that probably could have been cut down if I had a drill. a few pieces came damaged. nothing too visible. it's very cute though... and the drawer was a lil hard to make even. I just left it alone.

    Good, sturdy desk
    Great desk for kid room/ teens. Adults might need more counter space if working from home. If I had more room Id get the L as my son like building Legos on it and daughter likes crafting. Assembly takes some time, but will last, sturdy material. Bought overhead light to make perfect.

    This is a nice sturdy desk. I put it together myself and it took me about 2.5 hours. There was one bag that was supposed to contain 8 screws to connect the hutch to the desk and it was literally completely empty. It was labeled and the bag was not open, it literally just had no content inside of it. Luckily I had random screw in my garage which I was able to use. Other than that I cant really complain.

    I love this desk. It's sturdy and beautiful. My only disappointment is the tower cabinet measurements didn't work for me because of the door frames covering part of the opening, not allowing my product to go through. I measured beforehand to be sure, but wasn't aware of the space loss due to the frame. Other than taking all day to put the 35 steps together, there's nothing I don't like about it. It was a great purchase. Im very satisfied with it.

    Beautiful but time-consuming assembly!
    This desk with hutch looks so beautiful once assembled! I love it! It's definitely a labor of love though- it took my husband and I almost five hours to put together. The directions are really easy, but there are many pieces with matching hardware. Worth it! I found a chair I liked to match, too, that happens to fit perfectly! Can't wait to set the space up with all of our things.

    Perfect for small spaces
    Great quality for the value. I have dual monitors for my desktop PC and this desk comfortably fits them while occupying a small footprint in my tiny office. The built in hole for wires keeps everything organized. It took about 5 hours to assemble without any hiccups, but the directions were clear and easy to follow.

    Recommend
    For the price, a decent purchase. Looks lovely and just the right size. As per all the other reviews, takes time to put together (4 hours for us) but no worse than other things I've put together. Directions were clear, all parts accounted for, and no damage. Pleasantly surprised at such quick delivery!

    Great value
    I looked and looked for a small desk for my office. Most of the prices ranged from $300 - $500. I found this desk online at Wal-Mart. So, with free shipping and reading the reviews, I took a chance at $205. The desk was delivered promptly - within days. However, it was the wrong color. Wal-Mart worked quickly and dilligently to get the return processed and deliver the correct item. This was accomplished in a matter of days. The only thing I would caution on this desk is the assembly. It came in about 50 pieces or so with countless hardware. However, the directions were fairly easy to follow. Each step had pictures and told how many of each piece of hardware you would needfor that step. It took my husband and I about 6 hours to assemble. We are both fairly handy - but not awesome. Anyway, great desk for the money.

    So far, my experience with the desk has been really good. It did take quite a while to put together. By myself, it was about 6 hours. I thought it was completely worth it since it is very sturdy. I love all the extra space I have on this desk and it is exactly as it appears in the picture.

    love this desk
    love it so far. it was hard to find one that would fit in the limited space i had with a hutch which was a necessity. it took me, all by myself, approx 3 hours to assemble. I didn't mind though, because there are a bunch of dowels and screws which meant it was going to be sturdy when i was done. all the parts were labeled---all 32 of them. the packets of hardware were all separated and labeled. finished product---looks great and is tight/sturdy.

    Great student desk!
    The box the desk comes in weighs 155 lbs so remember to have help lifting it. As for the constuction of the desk, the instructions are excellent and easy to follow but because there are 36 steps took five hours to construct. One thing to remember, when puting the drawer together, I recommend placing a line of glue in the grooves where you slide in the bottom piece for extra stability. This is a great desk for the value the hardware and extra finishes in the trim looks more expensive then it actually was.

    Just what I needed
    I am seriously lacking space so this desk/hutch was the perfect solution. I set in up in my bedroom and it fits quite nicely. It was a bit tedious putting it together (I did it by myself), but totally worth it. I am a full-time student and am using this as my workstation. I have my textbooks, paper, all-in-one printer, laptop, and other office supplies on the unit without it feeling crowed. It looks as good as the picture and I am very happy! I totally recommend this desk for any space.
