Has anyone found a desk of similar size and style, but better quality (and probably higher price)?

Go for Mainstays (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Student-Desk-Black/15734260 ). The similar is available here also in Amazon. I got this Furinno 10007* and it's crap!

Sorry, I returned this desk because as we were putting it together it broke. It did not seem well made.

This is what I would recommend instead: Altra Benjamin Desk, Natural / Gray

Not sure. My desk arrived with broken parts & the top was scratched. I sent back. DO NOT BUY! Save your money & get something else. I ended up buying an antique that has been around for many years. This desk will not even last a month!

I'd be willing to try it and see. I'm sure a small to medium desktop would be fine. A really heavy desk top, I'd put directly on the floor. The bottom shelf sits on metal pegs that are pushed into the desk legs. It all seems pretty sturdy, but clearly it would depend on many variables.

I tried to do that ...it's not the sturdiest ...there isn't much room on desk top - and nothing sits too stable. Really only for an 18 inch computer, even a 23 inch would be too large for the top - it wouldn't sit stably. I think if the top was not shaped the way it is, maybe square, it would work better for a standing desk. I like some of the design in general but the materials are crap. the veneer is like a skin of soft plastic stretched out over the particle board. I had a cup of tea on the middle shelf and the heat warped the plastic so it had a lose skin look to it.

I have since gotten rid of it because the quality of this desk is junk. Its particle board and plastic. It wobbles and it broke right out of the box. Its not very big so if you are looking for something small its that. I would spend a little bit more and get something of a little better quality. I almost broke my laptop a few times due to the wobbling it does and hitting the wall. Sorry I couldn't answer the specifics.

I don't know. I also, loved the configuration, but not the color. When I bought my desk in August, I wasn't able to find the configuration for the same price in any other style. You might try the Bush Furniture website to check out options. I love the Cabot L desk. I bought an additional file cabinet and love having an extra wing and the extra surface area it provides. The color is something I can live with and I actually like it now. I hope this helps. Karen Cleland

Hi, I'm sorry, I could never find any matching piece. I just bought the table and six chairs (which looks sleek and, so far, sturdy and durable), but never found any other matching item --I've been particularly looking for coffee or end tables... no luck.

Thank you all so much for your responses! I've ordered it with confidence now, as it perfectly matches my wood/glass desk.

Yes, the back side of the desks are very good quality except for the upper hutch, it is a cardboard material that wouldn't look good facing an audience.

Yes, the back of the desk and the hutch each has the same black finish as what is shown in the picture. I had no trouble with assembly and although the desktop is heavy, I managed to get it upright by myself. I recommend that assembly take place on the flattened cardboard box to avoid scatching either the furniture or your floor.

Yes, I believe so, it's my 2nd desk. The desk is universal, meaning you can put together in a couple different ways to fashion your settings just the way you would like, mind your self while doing this, you will need a second person to assist to get things done right, & without bending, or causing any uneeded stress or damages to desk..

I have a dresser I got from target (non-particle board) and desk (basic corner desk with reversible filing cabinet in black) from Walmart that the wood grain part matches. In a separate room I have a bookshelf that is a few shades darker, a basic 30-40$ particle board bookshelf you get from staples/Office Depot/max etc. since nothing was bought from the same companies or retailers there are slight variations, but it was a heck of a lot cheaper than a full on set with 7 pieces I didn't need

I haven't found bookcases by the same company that go with the desk. But if you're looking for something similar, I'd recommend IKEA's Billy bookshelves in black-brown. The color matches the desk very well.

My only comparison for a build-your-own-desk is IKEA which I think have better options. That said, I think it's worth buying for a school-aged child but not for an adult.

I bought a wood desk that has a smooth white finish on it (from pottery barn) and it is working great.
