We just put the table together; it didn't take too long. The directions were good, not great. You don't need to be a rocket scientist, just handy. I absolutely LOVE the color and the look of the desk. I'm moving into an apartment and need to conserve space, and the bookshelf is a great addition to the desk. It's made of real wood! No plywood or particle board. Even the bottoms of the feet were finished - smooth and same color as desk. The drawer works smoothly on gliders. Not cheaply made at all. The only negative I saw was on the top; the stain used to color the desk was a little streaky, but, since it will be covered with a computer and other items, it wasn't going to impede the usage of the desk. So, in conclusion, I recommend this desk highly.

Absolutely LOVE this desk. I have been searching for months for a desk to fit in my daughters' room that could hold her books and squeeze against angled walls. This works great plus is large enough to hold everything she needs stored. Assembly was easy and the overall weight is easy to move. Highly recommend this desk to anyone searching for something to fit on angled walls/ceilings.

I just assembled this desk and it looks great! I use it in my bedroom for school work. It was easy and quick to assemble. It took less than an hour with no help. I almost sent it back without opening it because of the condition of the box it came in. It was really torn up and wet ( it was not raining when it was delivered). It arrived a day early which was a nice surprise. I'm glad I opened and assembled it. Not one scratch was on the desk. It looks great.

It's a wonderful desk, and very easy to put together, it has a great amount of working room and looks very nice as well. I spent so long looking for a wooden desk before I found this one and I'm so happy I decided on getting this. It's very sturdy and looked like the online pictures, which had me pleasantly surprised. It does seem to have some very fine scratches on the surface, but that could just be from when I was putting it together (I don't know if it was factory or just user error, but they're so small as to be barely noticeable).

I really like this desk! It's perfect for my needs: The desk top provides ample space and overall the desk is a good size without taking up a lot of space, we can store all of our papers on the bottom shelf, my sewing machine fits perfect on the top shelf, it's made of solid wood, is well made, was easy to put together and it looks really nice! There were a few minor issues that made me drop one star (although overall I am very happy with this desk, especially for the price!): The bottom shelf is *just* a hair too short and so I had to turn some things like standard file folders, on their sides to fit them in. If it had been just 2-3 mm taller they would have fit, which is a bit annoying but not a deal-breaker. The desk is a bit taller than typical desks, and I was surprised at what a difference .5" makes. It's not uncomfortable but takes a little getting used to. While the desk is solid wood there are places where the stain was scratched and it looks like a wood marker used to cover it up, and there are a couple places where the angle of the edges are not entirely squared - not overly obvious though. Finally, the bar at the bottom came slightly bowed so I'm hoping that won't be an issue down the line. It's also right where I would put a foot rest, so I can't use one and have been resting my feet on the bar but I'm not sure if it was made to hold weight in that way (and it also isn't the most comfortable "foot rest"). Like I said though I really do like the desk and am completely satisfied with my purchase!

Even though I love the desk, the face of the drawer was badly damaged. Of course it was seen after everything had been unpacked and unwrapped. I contacted the manufacturer, using the instructions to replace pieces. There is no phone number and they want it all done through email. I filled out the information, sent the receipt and even took pictures of the damage, hoping they could just send a new drawer face. It's been 2 days now and there has still no one has gotten back to me. They may still get with me yet, but I think good customer service would acknowledge an issue within 24 hours.

Hardwoods

If you are looking to invest in a desk that is more durable and easier to maintain, the hardwood desk is your choice. The hardwood is usually visually characterized by the darker color, which has made them much more expensive than other types of wood. The wood has got a high density making durable and resistance to termites and other wood-boring insects. Hardwoods often have very strong wood density, which is closely connected with the species of tree that yielded it. Hardwoods are also stronger and more durable due to their more condensed and complex structure. This means your desk will last longer. They are also easy to clean, maintain and scratches or dents can be fixed. The wood is also known to produce fine furniture’s that are attractive or eye-catching for anyone entering your house. Desk made from hardwood will not only be good but also the furnish give it a fancy look to admire.

Pine

The pine wood species that produces desks that are durable and strong. It’s also slightly lighter compared to other woods in the same species. This wood is also very stiff. However, the wood is not quite strong, but it does offer durability. Desk made using this wood are usually elegant and eye catching. The wood takes paint very well, making it friendly for kids. Because pine is a softwood, it's prone to scratches and dent. They also develop a nice, rustic patina from age and use, and it resists shrinking and swelling. Depending on our preference, the wood produces good desk that have different styles to enable you to select your option. It may not last quite as long as oak, but pine is still a strong, shock-resistant material suitable for furniture, particularly if you like the rustic or country styles While furniture made from pine is still moderately heavy and sturdy, it is lighter than oak. Pine has its own benefits such as wood hardness, color and durability. It depends on what you need as to which is better for you. The wood is also resistance against rot and decay making it a good choice for a good desk or other furniture’s.

Softwoods

Softwood wood species is easier to work with and it’s used to make great tabletops or generally the whole table or desk. The wood can be cut using machines into desirable shapes, hence producing good desk. The lower density of softwood timber means it's weaker and less durable, however there are some 'hard' softwood options with a higher density making great tabletop. The wood being soft can easily be attacked by termites and other woodborers, making your table to be weak. They also come in more reliable sizes and qualities than hardwoods. The wood is also prone to scratches and dent. Softwood is not always suitable for high amounts of use like floors for example and can be easily worn down after periods of time. They have a poor fire resistance, which should be considered carefully before placing table or desk down in different areas where they might be exposed to those sorts of environments.

Walnut

Walnut is a hardwood of medium density that is quite expensive to own as it is a bit rare due to certain natural limitations. It poses certain physical properties such as moderate crushing and bending strengths with low stiffness, making it easier to work on either on hand or using various machine tools. Most people are familiar with the darker walnut wood but there are also lighter browns, gray, purple, and reddish tints. Walnut wood is usually straight-grained but at times you may find one with a few waves and curls that enhances the character of that piece of furniture, a good example being a Walnut desk. The only way to tell whether a Walnut desk is really made out of Walnut is to only purchase one from a reputable furniture maker since many wood species look exactly the same and it can be quite hard to differentiate one from the other.

Red Wood
