Is this desk organic, chemical-free? Does it use non toxic glue to assemble the pieces together?

I doubt that this desk would fit any of those descriptors. The legs appear to be solid wood, but the top has some glued ends. (I don't know what they used to glue it.) The desk is unfinished. You can choose what glue you like for adding to the legs when you bolt them on, or just use the bolts. The finish you decide to add, or not add, is up to you. It is a nice desk, we are using it as a table in a narrow area. Hope that helps.

I put it together for my girls in June and haven't had any issue with the parts. I did not use glue.

It says chemical free, and in the description it hints at being organic (see #4). But that's not a guarantee. Isuggest contacting the seller to double check.

It must have some sort of glue holding all of these small pieces together, but there was no noticeable odor other than naked wood when it arrived. I rubbed beeswax into it after it was assembled and that is still the only thing I smell. (Chemical odors tend to give me a headache and drive me nuts).

It seems to be particle board, however, we love it and are using it in a physicians office for staff. It fits perfectly with our new look. We purchased three desks.

I'm pretty sure I recall the packaging saying it was BPA free, but I don't recall seeing anything about formaldehyde. Sorry.

We've this desk and matching hutch/desk-combo for about 5 months. We've not experienced any odor from this furniture.

We only purchased the rustic Gronomics boxes and have been happy with them, detecting no smell of chemicals. They are super easy to assemble and look very nice in our back yard. Good luck!

I think that beside glass all of the options contain some chemical, the advantage here is that you do not have to maintain it - oiling etc. And I trust their Eco statement: ECO FRIENDLY: The Material in this cutting board is Made from FSC Certified, 100% Recycled Wood Composite- preserving our precious hardwood forests. The cutting board doesn't emit Formaldehyde or VOC's-- so it passes Indoor Air Quality Tests and makes this an Excellent Choice for Chemically Sensitive Individuals. The Material in The Adventuresome Kitchen Eco Friendly Cutting Board was originally developed as an Eco Friendly alternative for kitchen countertops, siding, and skate parks. As a Cutting Board, this material is Incredibly Lightweight & Durable, and Naturally Resistant to Moisture and Mold.

I did not have any problems with a chemical odor at all. I give this product highest ratings. I really liked that it came mostly assembled.

I can't say for certain, but my desk is not wood, it is some sort of laminate top and it has been fine. I have not had any issues.

I think it's a laminate which would be particle board? I love this desk, its solid and looks great! It was a big job to put it together!

Hello, this particular computer desk is made of solid wood. Hope this answers your question. Thank you!

I believe it is real wood. It looks and feels like it and the descriptions says wood not wood product. It also specifies non toxic paint. I really like this product and I'm glad I bought it.

I think it is particle wood. We've had this desk for about two years and have no problem with it.

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.

It's composite wood but still structurally sound and in good condition after my 12 yr old has used his for almost a full year. Most of his things he ends up having to replace on his own for not taking care of them but for whatever reason, he loves his desk and it's about the only piece of furniture he doesn't even set drinks on with no coaster. For the price, the ease of assembly, and the aesthetic, I would definitely recommend this one.
