does the hutch go over the left or right side? I'd like to put it over the righ side, not on the L side...

I didn't buy the hutch, only the desk so I'm not sure, it is a beautiful desk though and I love it

I don't use a hutch with it, but the hutch just rests on top of whatever side you choose. Since I don't have it, this isn't 100% confirmed but I can tell you the the desk sides are the same length exactly. Just under 60 inches (barely). So as long as the hutch isn't longer than 60 inches it should work on either side. Just my guess though!

from memory i think it has to be installed as per picture and instructions. If you have not already bought this desk i would recommend against buying it. Although it is a good looking desk, anytime you bump into it with your chair or anything else, the black covering will chip and come away. I really thought i had found a solid desk, but cheap build quaility, even the heavy top chips!!! Stay away and spend your money on something else.....

Both sides are the same: 16-3/8" wide by 12-1/2" high. I love this hutch. I've moved since I bought it and it held together beautifully in the move; very well-made.

You can set up on either side. We have the trundle opening from the right side.

The right and left would work the best. We zipped ours together (both right zip) but the hood of the one was then on the top of the bag instead of on the bottom.

No, you can still have the Hutch installed, regardless what you built first. But you will need another set of hands to lift it on the desk. Hope this helps.

No, it doesnt give you a choice of which side the ladder goes on. There are pre drilled holes, instructions, and everything for it to go on the right side, but if you're really handy, you may be able to modify it.

No. The desk is set up so that it attaches to the right. There are little holes in all the parts in specific areas so that it's made to be put together like in the picture. You can probably attach it to the left, but that might require more work.

have no idea, mine opened to the left when my husband put it together - quite nice

I was put on the left awning. If I remember right that should work either way. You have to follow a setup instruction to get it work correctly. I spent little extra time to get it right. But never have any problem with it since I installed. It was great unit and price.

It's been a while and now an ex has it! If memory serves correct you do assemble the hutch separately. I'd goto the Sauder website and see if you can't download the schematic and take a look and see if it's possible - I believe it is. It's tremendously top heavy.

We bought two and installed them next to each other so that they open from the center out. We handled which way they opened by simply flipping one over. There isn't really a "right side up." :)

Not really. It is pre-drilled and pieces set to have shelves on the left. It was part of the reason I was able to use it was that I did want shelves on the left. You could flip it upside down, but then you'd have to drill your own holes and deal with their extra holes perhaps. I wouldn't recommend it.

It can be assembled in either direction but PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS JUNK. READ THE REVIEWS!

Yes, I had to ask my husband since he put it together. He does confirm that you can reverse the L facing the left as you are sitting in front of the desk.

I'm sorry I don't remember where the hutch was made or shipped from. I ordered it on April 3, 2014 and at first they gave me a ship time of May through July 2014!! Luckily, they sent another email stating they were able to speed up the ship time and I received the hutch about 2 weeks later still in April 2014. It is nice if you have a helper to hold the sides when putting this hutch together. Sorry I couldn't be of further assistance. Have a good day! :)

I don't see any reason why you'd have to put the hutch on, but I think there are probably far better choices in desks without hutches. Instead of paying for a hutch you won't use, go with a desk-only unit that is higher quality. Come to think of it, if you decide to use this one without the hutch, there may be a few holes on top of the desk that you'll have to fill in or cover over, as those holes are there for the connectors used to keep the desk and hutch together.

No it doesn't matter. You can put either side to the inside or the outside. I love these things. They are so cool. A few of mine broke but it took very strong winds to make it happen. They are worth the money.
