Good desk, bad assembly.....

The desk is very nice and serves its purpose of being a desk. Fairly easy to assemble. Very big issue when it came to installing the sliders for the keyboard tray. The holes are way to small for the included screws. I had to take a hammer and nail to stretch them in order for the screws to even fit.  Very annoying in figuring out how to make it work. In the end I got the holes large enough to fit the screws.

It is a very nice desk.  It fit very well where I wanted it to, and the glass keeps it from appearing to take up so much room.  It holds my Smith-Corona, so it is stronger than it looks.

The only downside is that the keyboard tray was a real pain to get assembled and functional.  I still don't trust it not to pop out of the rails and shatter.  Luckily, I only use it to hold paper, and it hasn't fallen yet.  Also, the suction cups that are used to hold the glass in place were not included, so the panels are unsecured, which is a bit troubling, but so far, despite me jostling and bumping it, the panels have not fallen, so...

Overall, a very decent desk that will hold everything you need it to.

Although there were not many reviews I took a risk with the desk.  The desk comes very nicely packed to make sure it is protected. The first issue arrises when you try to read the directions. There are no blue stickers or any labling of the parts whatsoever.  Eventhough the desk is not complicated to put together it would be nice to have some type of directions. All they show you are blurred pictures and stickers that don't exist.  Keep in mind it said it shold take 10minutes to install.  I did it in under 30 just by looking at the peices and figuring it out.  The quality of the parts appears good but the REAL problem is nothing fits correctly. Since everything is metal it really needs to fit perfect. I found most of time trying to bend the metal latches to make peices fit. the end result is a nice desk where one L is higher than the other. Poor and sloppy craftsmanship went into this.... As for the size, its def on the smaller side.

Nice desk for the price!
Pros:
Lots of space! More than I anticipated.
Nice design.
2 shelves (can fit a small printer)
Not heavy.
Cons:
Screws and locks subpar quality. I broke one each putting it together.

So, I ordered this desk on a lightning deal, so I got a pretty good desk. I'm going to break down my review into some smaller topics.

Packaging: As others have said, this desk was not packaged well. The box it arrived in had seen better days. Upon opening the box and removing the contents, they were completely covered in a very fine wood dust, which excited my allergies greatly as I wiped it off, and probably isn't the best stuff to be breathing in anyway. We had a drawer-slider piece that was broken in a non-vital location, and the pieces did have some minor dings and scuffs, but nothing major. All the pieces were present and we even had extras of a few things.

Assembly: The assembly on this was moderately difficult. I buy a lot of build-it-yourself furniture and this was definitely one of the most time consuming. I think the difficulty stems mainly from the following shortcomings: vague and poorly written instructions, numerous and unlabeled bits and bolts, extra useless holes drilled into the boards, and the weight of the pieces. This desk is quite heavy. The wood is very cheap and will not tolerate much. Towards the end of the build, we managed to tear a chunk out of one of the pieces accidentally while trying to fasten them together, but were surprised by how delicate it was. Luckily it was in a non-visible location so we used some glue to fix it.

Finished Product: Functionally, the desk is great. I do not have any problems with instability or wobbliness. All the pieces fit together nicely, and compared to similarly priced alternatives, the desk is quite nice looking. I am not looking forward to moving this desk in the future because it is extremely heavy and I am somewhat concerned the pieces will fracture off each other if we aren't extremely careful.

This desk came in a million pieces.. it took forever to assemble and it's plywood so it's essential that you use the predrilled holes or it might split..btw the drawer doesn't fit and when it did fit it never stayed on track .so it kept falling on my son's feet ...  Yep that's right it has gliding tracks and if you've ever assembled anything with those you know how sad it will make you as soon as you see them lol . overall the desk itself... once I replace it I would reinforce it with some mounting brackets and use as a entry way table and mount a mirror... minus the drawer of course lol because let's be honest the desk is pretty sexy

I really like this desk, the only problem i came across while building it was a few pieces didn't match up.  A foot didn't fit and on the side the holes weren't drilled evenly for the inserts so its kinda lopsided, but its hardly noticeable.

it looks good. the only problems i had was the top was warped and the screws to the feet didn't fit, luckily my husband had some screws that would fit. The desk is not stable, we had to use our own screws in order to make it more stable. it took us around 5 hours to put this together, i wouldn't recommend putting this together alone

Use a power screw driver. Get to know the parts before starting to put pieces together. Having a second person helps quite a lot. It took me (alone for most of it) about 7 hours to put together. Sauder could help their customers out by labeling EVERY piece very clearly. I probably spent as much time figuring out which piece was which as I spent actually assembling it.
I love this desk, nice big surfaces and the locking file cabinet were the most important aspects for me. I am disappointed with the drawers because they don't slide as smoothly as I would like.

Ok, so first things first...I would have given this desk 5 stars if it wasn't damaged in the shipping.  The box arrived with a 4" hole in the front so I was expecting a broken glass panel.  I took a photo of the box leaning against the front door where UPS left it.  I opened it up again expecting the entire glass top to be shattered.  So I was thrilled when I quickly glanced at the metal framing and glass parts and all was intact thanks to the foam.  I figured it was cosmetic superficial damage...yeah, not so fast...

Then I started to build it.  Instructions are minimal and weak. It took longer than it should have only because the pictures were so small that I couldn't quite make out how the screws were connecting.  I'm technically-inclined tho and it was a minor annoyance.  To someone else I could see where they might give up and send this back.  They should improve this area.

The last part of the build is installing the drawers/bins...which are plastic.  I thought mine where ok until I unwrapped the plastic around each of them and found one black top piece and one drawer crushed into a bunch of small bits.  Luckily, I had not started installing all the hardware onto the desk that holds the drawer bins or I would have been upset at having to take that apart given this was now useless.

No big deal I thought.  I'll follow the little guide sheet that was included with the instructions on contacting the company direct, send them my photos and just wait for a replacement.  I'm patient.

I'm not THAT patient tho.  Sent my email that very evening and have never heard back from the manufacturer which is fairly local to my residence.  In all fairness I did not contact Amazon because I've only had to do that once before and it was a pain to find the Amazon CS link to get help...which is just weird.  It should be next to the order imho, just in case you do have problems.

So, I am taking off a star for crushed drawers and a star for the manufacturer's failure to even respond to an email to replace the two pieces.  I am too busy during the weekday to sit on the phone trying to explain that I need a $3-10 replacement sent out.  I'll live without it I guess.

I just received and put together this desk, and wanted to give my thoughts while they were fresh.

First, I really like the look of the desk.  It is a moderately dark cherry-looking desk.  It has modern straight lines, with a sophisticated touch of putting the desk on small legs.  The wood is heavy, thick, and shouldn't sag or warp at the center intersection (which is supported by two hefty metal brackets).  The desk is an excellent size to allow a computer on one side, and have several books spread out on the other wing.  The design is flexible, so you can mount the keyboard tray under either section of the desk, and you can choose which end has the drawers and which end has the cabinet (though, once you've chosen, you'd have to completely disassemble the desk to swap the cabinet and drawers... so choose wisely!).

Second, as with most things, there is room for some improvement.  The veneer is next to impossible not to flaw during construction.  I was EXTRA careful when assembling (taking about twice the time other reviewers have stated), but still ended up with a small scratch in the front of one of the drawers and several "rubs" on the corners and edges.  The veneer is attractive, but kind of touchy.  The drawer fronts are adjustable, but still darn near impossible to adjust to make them look square (see the photo).  The way the wood frame around the drawers is assembled can also leave them in funny positions (see the bottom cross member below the large drawer in the photo), which may require several attempts to adjust the brackets holding them.  Finally, the edges of the desk are very hard/sharp, and if you find your arms resting on them, they will get uncomfortable fast.

Some final notes: The assembly was straightforward, but took several hours, so be prepared for a project.  The desk came in two boxes, both of which I were heavy enough to need the use a hand-truck to pull into the house and into the office.  Also, some reviewers have been disappointed that the legs are plastic, but I found them to be attractive, quite sturdy, and they are attached very well and would require some serious energy to break off.

Overall, my complaints are cosmetic.  Everything works, and I enjoy the look of the desk, the sturdiness of the construction, the ability to expand it with other matching options in the future from Bush (a hutch, file cabinets, etc), and the huge amount of workspace it gives me.

The desk turned out to be just what we needed however, there were some parts missing (drawer slides). We sent a couple of emails requesting the missing parts however, we have not heard from the  manufacturer and will have to contact once again.

a beat down to put together, but it is a very nice desk and much larger than I expected... I could see someone not taking their time putting this desk together and really jacking it up... take your time and double check every step before executing it.... we have purchased three for our offices and seem to be holding up well.

Nice sized Desk, overall a very nice look and function took my husband a little over an hour to assemble both pieces. We have a dual monitor set up and there is still plenty of space.

Cons; Hutch doesn't physically attach to the desk.
The cardboard backing on the hutch comes folded inside of the box and looks like crap because of the creases it has in it. I personally think it looks absolutely awful, but my husband doesn't seem to mind too much.

I can not assemble the desk. The drive shaft protrudes past the point where it will allow me to attach to the brace. Picture attached. Customer service is normal business hours, and I also work regular business hours. Will update after/if I hear back.
Customer service responded early monday morning. They instructed me to bang the drive into place with a hammer. Easy enough, no problems. As I was trying to bolt the leg into place, I noticed the mounting plate was bent. There was no paint cracking and the box was did not appear damaged. They sent it out with two major problems. With all of the 'pass' stickers on each item of the desk, but with two major flaws, it's hard to imagine there was any actual quality control.
Customer service was helpful and responsive, but they sent me a defective unit, which can be readily seen from the second capture. After all that time and energy spent, I had to return it. I will not be purchasing from this vendor again.

Poor packaging caused some scratches and dents on the parts. Hardware package was missing in the original box which was later delivered by seller after 10 days. Assembly is tricky. Handle the assembly like an egg until you put up the last two side support. I cracked two stud mounts while flipping the assembly midway during installation. The desk feels solid and looks good after it is put together completely. It would have been 4 stars without the packaging issues.

Great desk overall. The size is just right and my monitor fit in just fine. I have no complains on the assembled desk, but the assembling process is painful. Screws don't feel like they fit in. I have to use all my strength to turn the screw driver. For every screw turn, I worried that I put the screw in the wrong place because it feels like I am drilling a new hole. Too bad I can only give this desk a four star. Could have been a five star.
