Absolutely love this mid century modern desk. It’s the perfect size. But be warned - it sits pretty low, so make sure you measure or get an adjustable desk chair - and one without arms.

I love the look, size and quality of this desk. I needed a desk that would fit in my bedroom and with our furniture. The color is beautiful and it’s a generous amount of space compared to many others I looked at. The top of the desk is beautiful as well. Assembly was easy and I love working on it. We also paired it with the Waldman side chair someone else suggested. I love them together. Great buy!

Lovely desk for my new office space at home. The desk came in the pieces pictured, but was very heavy to move between me and my boyfriend. We were worried about these two pieces that go on the underside as they had stains and glue on them, but being assembled you never see them. The hardware was pretty dirty and stained my fingers, so be careful of that. Otherwise it was easy to put together the bottom, looks great and is very sturdy!

Update received early December- Love the desk!!! The pictures from prior purchases from other customers match exactly. Easy to put together. 6 pieces in total. About 30 minutes if that. One person can put it together, but better to have two people to move it around. Think it weighs about 100 lbs.After using desk for several weeks now, it has not been very sturdy and I did make sure to screw everything real secure and it was still kind of wobbly. I did not see anyone mention that even though it is heavy it is not all that stable. Not sure if it was just my order.Anyway, Today purchased L brackets for the back bottom portion (3 inches) on both sides and also for the 2 front legs(2 inches). Desk is muck more secure and can now write on it and still use my laptop. See the last 2 pictures. 7 dollars in total.Anyway still love the desk. Wish it were secure for the start though.

Came in a very heavy box and I was worried it would be 30 pieces to put together and take hours. To my surprise it came almost completely assembled in high quality solid wood in excellent condition. Putting the legs on was super straightforward and only took 20 minutes by myself. I really like the quality, it is exactly what I wanted. A little darker than the photos which I preferred anyway. Drawers are excellent quality with a sort of soft close and nice glides.

The packaging was very good. No scratches or dings. I will warn you, the table top is VERY heavy and you will need another person to pick it up when putting the legs together. Very sturdy desk. The drawers are not very smooth but close with a slight push. The table top has a very nice design. The only fault is trying to screw in the back wood piece to the legs. It's not easy and not very tight. Maybe it was me. The legs have sliders on them to make it easy to move and prevent scratches to your floor. I really like this desk.

This is a beautiful and solid desk. There’s a lot of room to work. It also came incredibly well packaged. Warning there’s a lot of trash and styrofoam to throw away.

This is a pretty solid piece of furniture. The top has a nice design to it. It’s quite heavy, mostly because the top comes as one piece. It’s easy to put together, but needs two people to turn right-side-up once complete. Even thought I have tightened all screws, it does wobble a bit (don’t put it where there will be small children), which is why I didn’t give five stars. I will probably have to add more screws to better stabilize it.

A really lovely desk, with beautiful colour. My only quibble is how fragile the surface is - the slightest friction from something hard leaves marks and scratches in the finish. For example, if I’m wearing a zip-up hoodie, the zipper can scratch the edge of the desk as I type. Otherwise, a great WFH desk.

This desk came with 14 screws of which I could only get 10 in. Due to having to screw wood onto the legs, prior to attaching these to the desk itself, it causes the wood to not sit flush on the desk bottom preventing ability to screw into the desk bottom on both sides. Desk is a bit shaky as it’s not properly secured but the screws aren’t long enough to catch into the prepared hole.

Desk is decent for writing. Problem is, my unit came with severe (and very noticeable) damage. And it doesn't seem to be a shipping matter, as the box was fine (if 2 weeks late). Rather, it seems that Wayfair sold it knowingly that it was not in "new" condition. This type of damage is barely worth the "Open Box" pile. Very disappointing.
