For $*** this is okay for the price. Real wood, easy to assemble. I already bought 2 of these. One for me and one for my daughter during the lockdown. It can accommodate a laptop, keyboard and a monitor. You can paint or put varnish if you like and it will look fabulous. I painted one of mine with chalk paint and the other with dark varnish. Very sturdy and useful , plenty of space and can ix with every style.

This is the second desk I have purchased. The first is for my sewing machine. This one will be used in my family room when my grandsons do homework here. I barely needed to sand this piece, it was in such great condition upon delivery. I stained it with Minwax gel stain and finished it with tung oil. It is beautiful. This is a very versatile piece that can be used in many ways. This is a great buy.

I love this desk. It was super easy to assemble (just attach the legs), it is very sturdy, and I like the wood coloration. I just gave it a light color wash, trying to bring the slight gray tones out a little more and a coat of varnish to protect it. I hope it will not get the orange tone over time, like so many wooden furniture pieces do. Overall great desk for the money!

This is a very solid, well built desk! VERY happy with this purchase and will highly recommend to all I know. I purchased the unfinished version and it arrived pre sanded and required very little effort to finish. Very light sanding, wipe down, and I applied a rub on poly urethane satin finish-it turned out very nice! Very nice piece, even the drawer was all solid wood and will enjoy for many years.

Great solid materials for the desk. Stained it a grey color and have been using it for work. Really happy with it after having it for a few months!! Would recommend for those that don't want a desk made of composite and cheap materials. Desk drawer is small but makes for a neat addition to a home office.

This is a good, basic desk. I like that it’s unfinished so I can paint or stain to my liking. It’s made from real wood and I think that’s much preferable to composite materials. I changed the drawer knob to add some interest.

This desk has withstood the test of time. I've had it for +8 yrs now and it still looks good. I opted to leave it in its original unvarnished form because I love the look and feel of it, but if you think yours needs more protection or want it a different color, you can always stain and varnish as you like. The drawer slides in and out smoothly and holds a lot. I use it as my main work desk at home and love it! Assembly was literally just screwing in the legs and putting the pull knob on the drawer.

The desk is built well and beautiful. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, though, because they cheaped out on the drawer. It's wobbly, loose, and built of MDF (manufactured) wood instead of solid wood like the rest of the desk. This isn't mentioned anywhere in the description and it's disappointing that they cheaped out on this component. Otherwise, it would have been a 5 star desk.

Can you provide sanding instructions for the unfinished desk? Thanks
Thank you for your question. Here are the sanding instructions: Although all pieces are sanded, they may need additional finish sanding. Check all surfaces for minor splits, chips or dents. Sand or fill with wood filler. Make sure the residue from the filler is sanded smooth. Start sanding with medium sand paper (120) and then finish with fine (220) sandpaper. Check all surfaces. If an item has any frizz or roughness, it will show when staining, and you may not be satisfied with the end result. Never skip the initial sanding of all parts. Wipe the furniture using a tack cloth (available at paint

If the drawer isn't solid wood, I would want to simply remove it, but it says elsewhere that it can be "taken out but not removed" - I'm confused. Can I get rid of the drawer or not?Thank you!

The desk is described as "unfinished". Does this mean it should not be used until a finish coat is applied? e.g., if someone eats on it, I wonder if any spillage would be absorbed into the unfinished wood.
Yes, it is unfinished with no stain protection so I would definitely treat it before use to avoid spills from soaking into the wood.

Definitely needs to be varnished or painted, unless you intend to NEVER paint/varnish it. I found mine only needed a very light sanding with fine grit paper, then I painted it with a coat of primer/sealer and two coats of "trim and cabinet" paint, in gloss finish, which is great for repelling oils and food stains. I use it in my kitchen to hold my microwave and canisters. Very happy. Good luck!
