The first one arrived damaged and kudos to Wayfair! Less then a week later the replacement arrived. This fountain is easy to assemble. It really is very pretty! I saw some reviews that said the color was greener then they expected. It is a very pretty cobalt blue not green at all. I love that you can manage the water flow. Full blast was to loud for our back porch. I’d buy this again and again! The soothing water sounds are amazing.

This is a very nice desk and it was easy to assemble with two people. I assembled it with my 13-year-old daughter for her bedroom. Would be a little bit more difficult to assemble by yourself, but it’s doable. This desk was exactly what I was looking for. The leg color is not a dark wood. It’s more in between a pine and walnut color.

The desk itself is lovely. While the drawer makes it difficult to sit with cross legs (not at all impossible, but requires some maneuvering), the size of the drawer is ideal for my purposes. One issue, though: The right front desk leg came chipped. This is the second piece of Wayfair furniture that has been delivered with a chip in one of the wooden legs. We were able to fix the flaw on the other piece of furniture (Harbin Upholstered Bench), but can't easily fix this one.

Has the look I was going for! Easy to put together and sturdy. A little disappointed because the mouse pad we've been using has left a yellow mark. Not sure how to remove that - so be careful if you're using one! Would have liked a little more coverage for cord control or solutions built into the desk. Not necessarily the best desk for an at home office due to size and ability to hide cords. Would be more ideal for a writing desk. I'm giving 4 stars because it is overall a nice desk - more my fault that I chose form over function when choosing!

The desk checked off a lot of boxes for me. I needed something white, at least partially solid wood, less than 44” to fit in a specific spot in my living room, and to have a drawer (preferable big enough to fit my wireless keyboard when not in use. The box arrived a bit banged up but the desk was well packaged (with lots of environmentally unfriendly styrofoam). I didn’t expect the entire top portion of the desk to be pre-assembled so that was a nice surprise. You only need to attach the legs and support beam. All the holes lined up and it was an easy quick task. I docked two stars because 1) there is a defect on the left edge of the MDF table top where it must have been chipped and then it was painted over 2) There are several odd marks on the front right portion of the desk near the drawer 3) the drawer makes a loud squeak sound when pushed in or pulled out and it takes extra effort to fully push in or pull out - not exactly the “soft close” I was promised. After looking at reviews I’m not the only one who received a product with flaws. I don’t understand how Nathan Home lets all these subpar desks leave their factory floor. Is there no quality control over there!? I do not recommend this product.

I really wanted to love this desk. It is a beautiful desk but the quality isn’t what I expected for the price. The drawer comes pre-installed and it’s never really fit right. The reviews that say the top scratches easily are telling the truth. I’ve only had this desk a couple of months and the top continues to scratch easily with normal use. I likely wouldn’t buy again.

The desk is great, love the colors, size, and style!Reason for 2-star rating is because it took over a month to get here. Customer service contacted manufacturer twice. I realize it’s a pandemic, but I have been ordering things from many other places, and they have been able to ship in the timeframe given. If this wasn’t in stock, then it shouldn’t have been labeled as “available.” If you can’t ship within the timeframe, let the customer know BEFORE purchasing. Frustrating to say the least.

Arrived quickly. Directions made me laugh but then I started to put it together and it’s been a disappointment. The predrilled holes are not accurate and the dowels don’t match up. The side of the drawer is cracked and I am very worried about the integrity of this desk. I am going to have to forego the dowels on one side completely to put this desk together.
