What material is this desk made from? Is there room for a printer on the desk surface? Can the cubby holes on the right side be eliminated?

Partical board with a wood paper veneer, Yes you can put a printer on the desk top and you can eliminate the cubby's on the right.

I don't know what it is made of, but my guess is compressed wood chips with some kind of veneer. Yes, there is room for a printer. The cubby holes can be eliminated, but there are holes there, for the installation, and the holes will show.

It is not real wood except the door and drawer fronts. Yes there is room for a printer if it it is smaller and does not have a lid on top to open to scan or copy. I guess you could eliminate the cubby holes while putting it together. Call their customer support, they are great. For the price it is a great desk. Again customer support is fantastic.

The desk is real wood and surface is a marble type, pretty sharp. There's room for the printer if you don't add the slots on the right. It comes pieces so I imagine you'd just skip that step.

Solid wood for the most part. I believe the top has a veneer to it for protection and is probably particle board or the price would be much higher. The drawers are solid and dovetailed. This is very heavy and solid desk. It's better than I thought it would be.

Very slightly textured, but I don't think the texturing would be the problem. The problem I think would be that the surface is a soft rubber which would make writing a bit iffy. The backside is plastic, with long strips of rubber for feet. I think the desk is just plastic. Not stuffed with anything, really. It's a rigid desk.

It's mostly pressed wood, but it's probably one of the most solid desks we've ever owned and it's standing the test of time very well. A very versatile smaller desk. Highly recommend!

Yes, there is access holes on the back of the desk for cables... The finish is a beautiful well done stained and sealed wood. Mine is dark brown (Walnut colored). I shopped for a desk for months looking, and this is the only one that is not too huge, had all the features, and yet wasn't a piece of crap laminate finish, like Sauder and some others... No pressed wood. Heavy, but worth the price!

A printer will easily fit on the top; not inside. It does not arrive pre-assembled. I took it to my office and had our maintenance people assemble. It didn't take them long -- maybe 20 minutes. It has proven to be a good purchase. Well made, functional. Just the right size for my space.

There will be holes in the top of the desk. I will tell you that this is hands down the best and most beautiful desk my family has ever owned. It's solid and very heavy. Was a bit difficult to put together, as the instructions start off building it upside down and then it's a pain to flip over but with two people it's managed easily.

The desk is laminate covered particle board. Legs and drawer handles are metal. While this desk is particle board, it is very heavy and sturdy. I was impressed with the quality.

There are pre-drilled holes for the raised platform. You could use the desk without it, but you would have holes in the desk unless you found something to cover them up.

It's definitely made of compressed wood with a laminate finish. It looks lovely, but extra precautions need to be taken for durability purposes. I recommend having plexiglass cut to size to protect against scratches. For the price it's an amazing desk. The real wood one I originally wanted to replace my old one cost well over $1,500 at Ashely Furniture. This desk is a wonderful deal for the price and I love the look of it with the addition of the plexiglass.

The desk I mounted this on was plywood. However, I have a Sauder (I think the same material you are talking about) and I've screwed other things into it with no trouble.

This desk is hardwood, not veneer. It is a bit heavy. . . This was a deciding factor for me. . .

Hi, Paul, I bought this desk and although it looks nice in the picture, it's a piece of CRAP! Don't waste your money.

No odor at all. All components are heavy though. Corners are especially susceptible to shipping damage. Requesting a small amount of shipping insurance (like $500) would be a good move. The desk is quite handsome and worth a little extra expense.

No, you can't, holes are pre-drilled and left side of desk has rounded edge while right side doesn't.
