Will be using this secretary desk as a night stand in master bedroom. With today's deep mattresses and box springs, it's difficult to see the clock at night when using traditional height night stands. And I will be placing a lamp on the fold-down hinged door. I'm already using an antique secretary in our guest room for this purpose and it makes it so convenient! Pros: The furniture arrived in good condition without styrofoam flying all over the place when unboxing.Cons: It's a little bit pricey.

This little desk is just perfect. It came completely wrapped up in packing material. The packaging really impressed us. The only thing I did to the little desk is put felt on the two pull out supports for the top so that the top would not get scarred after a lot of use. The only bad thing I found was that my calculator could not sit in the desk with the lid shut. Of course it is an older one that is a bigger size. I just set it on top until I can find a small one with a paper roll.

The delivery men (RGS) were great. However, the dispatcher service for them is the worst. The originally scheduled me for delivery on 4/11/2018. I called and said I would not be home and requested they change it to 4/12. They said ok and then I got an email that said "Your delivery date has been changed to 4/11/2018!!!!). I called again and Amber assured me it would be changed to 4/12. On 4/11, at approximately 1:30, I got a call from the delivery guys who said they would be at my house in 15 minutes!!! I was about 10 miles from my home and requested they give me some extra time, as the delivery was supposed to be the next day anyway. They graciously complied and I was able to make it home in time for them to delivery. I want to express my absolute displeasure with RGS dispatching and suggest you reconsider using them for your deliveries. Thanks.

Love this product, it's the perfect size to store all of my kids' craft supplies! They just drop down the desk when they are ready to do a craft and fold it up when they are done. It keeps everything nice and neat. It sits in my formal dining room and you would never know it stores markers, crayons, stickers, glue, etc. because it is such a nice piece of furniture. Would definitely buy it again!

This desk looks very nice. I have it in the foyer and use it to organize incoming and outgoing mail. The top section doesn't hold as much as I would like. The drawer slides could also be a little smoother. Overall this is a nice desk.

On the surface this is an attractive little secretary desk. However, there are a few problems: (1) the drawers cannot be removed from the unit without deconstructing the desk, and there is a plastic tab on the inside of each drawer that blocks the release of the drawer and, in my case, scraped agains the bottom; this had to be addressed by a repairman (he cut part of the tab off); (2) the hardware is quite cheesy, flat on one side, and has little metal tabs that prohibit the handles from hanging straight down; (3) the little plastic feet on the bottom of the unit are undersigned; I replaced them with felt.

I am pleased with the furniture I received. However, my issue is with the shipping of my desk. When I paid extra shipping fees for "Inside Entryway" delivery I did not anticipate an argument with the delivery crew. The delivery crew informed us they were only obligated to drop off my furniture at the nearest dry spot on the curb! Additionally, delivery was scheduled for Thursday, Sep 17th. Who ever took note of this date booked delivery for "Thursday, Sep 19th". My desk arrived on Saturday, Sep 19th, after we waited all day Thursday. Unacceptable!

sturdy & functional-less than really good finish (uneven & painted on look)-drop down desk could be much better supported. OVERPRICED. Delivery was prompt-but I was charged $49 to bring it 15 feet from curb to just inside my front door-that's ridiculous! neat size (if space is a consideration). back is not finished at all.

I should have paid more attention to the measurements. It is ridiculously small for a desk. It's more like a nightstand. We paid extra for assembly, which consisted of only putting on the drawer pulls. It's a pretty little piec, but not worth the cost.

My Secretary desk is beautiful. However, it wobbles and the drawers don't open as easily as I would like. Maybe I can apply wax or rub the insides with bar soap to make them slide better. I've been trying to even the cornered legs by putting bits of cardboard underneath them, but no luck so far. Need to correct the wobble before I can use the desk. Otherwise, it seems solid. If the drawers were dovetailed, instead of stapled, this desk would look as high-end on the inside as it does on the outside. Nevertheless, I'm glad I bought this desk and not another - I considered ALL others. It has all the features I want in a desk and it definitely upgrades the appearance of my not-so-large living room.
