We have the desk and desk hutch and could not be happier. I was scared when I read the review but after we assembled our hutch and it went together nicely, I think he just got a bad one. I found the workmanship and finish to be excellent. The desk is adorable.

My only problem with this was that the brackets, pictured in the instructions. That attach the hutch to the desk were not there or in the package.

Material itself isn't half bad. It is actually wood and not MDF board. And the finished product does look nice enough. Now the bad part. Two small divider panels with dowels do not line up with the holes on the two larger panels on top and bottom and the premade hole for a screw to secure the small panel to larger panel below don't line up either. This problem MIGHT be isolated to my shipment or there might be whole lot more bad batch out there.

I had to crush and rip out the dowels that are glued to the small panels so that I could secure divider boards with the screw thinking securing it with screw would be better than using 1 dowel to sucure it. Sounds complicated huh? That is because premade holes don't line up with anything! You can only use 1 of the dowels OR screw to connect the small divider panel to the larger panel below and above. When I used screw to secure it, approx 2mm of the back end of the divider was sticking out and getting in the way back panel from being pushed down along the side slots. I had to turn the divider board to make room, slide the back panel down and hammer the divider panel back into the place which made some scrape marks on the back board. In retrospect, it would have been better to remove the BACK dowels and use the front dowels to secure the small divider board instead of screw. I could have avoided dividers being sticking out. I realized that AFTER I removed both dowels so I was sorta stuck with what I had.

If you have table saw or something, just removed approx 2mm off the back, remove both dowels and use screw and everything should fall into place. If you don't have the table saw, remove the BACK dowels with plier. You might want to double check the dimension first though since the measuring error might be different for different batch.
