I have been a customer of amazon for everything I buy on net for a long time but this piece of junk
has made me think that I lucked out
This was the worst purchase, advertisement that its cherry is false and its mainly compressed wood except the table top
the desk is unstable and rips apart despite providing steel support on each side
I dont think it can even stand the weight of the cpu
sorry amazon I got tricked and so are the others

This is junk. I am so tired of putting new screws in this desk to keep it from leaning to the right or the left. Yes, the bolts are well tightened, yet it is so cheaply made, they don’t hold the desk straight. The draws get stuck every five minutes. I am going to have to tear this apart to dispose of it so I can get a new desk. Bad, bad quality.

I love the look of this computer desk – especially with the additional hutch added. So, if you are going for looks and don’t plan on using it at all – go for it.
PROS:
Attractive aesthetic features
CONS:
EXTREMELY easy to scratch any of the surfaces
Time consuming to assemble (I did both the hutch and desk at the same time – took 6 hours by my self)
Plastic “locks” on front keyboard drawer broke after 6 weeks of use (they keep the panel with the aesthetic handles up when not in use)
Not ideal for larger computer towers
Difficult to reach back of computer tower
Definitely not a good choice if you have small children who use the computer. Even for frequent adult users, the quality just isn’t there. I rarely regret my purchases, but this one is one I wish I had never ever made. Poor quality to invest your money in. Ah, but then, you get what you pay for. Pity … it looks so nice from a distance.

The desk is sturdy and stylish. It comes in pieces and assembles easily. The fasteners are packaged by group and clearly labeled. I had one piece that was broken but I glued it back together and fastened to the keyboard drawer as-is without any problems. The drawer on the left is pretty small. The door on the left should hold a full size tower without problems. I have an iMac, so did not need to hide a tower. I use this space for storage using old Amazon.com shipping boxes to organize things.
There is a foot helf on the bottom. I put my power strip, external HDD, and some packaged software down there out of the way.
The keyboard drawer is a nice size. It holds a slim keyboard and a mouse with pad nicely. There is even a little room for a scratch pad behind the keyboard.

Very attractive product. Took me longer than anticipated to put it together, not because it was difficult but because there are many pieces and many more screws/various hardware. I’m so thankful the delivery guys were willing to haul it up the stairs and into my office because I never would have been able to do it on my own without opening the box and carrying each piece individually. It was extraordinarily heavy.
I never did figure out how to get the flip-down tray installed correctly, and the instructions were a bit less than helpful in that respect, so I left it off.
Aside from that, I now have a much more attractive desk for less $$ than what I could find at my local Office Max, so I’m quite pleased with this purchase despite the intentionally missing flip-down piece of the pull out drawer. I did not buy the hutch as I have no use for anything like that.
