For an almost $200 piece of furniture, this was definitely not worth it. The desk came with A LOT of visible flaws (including a huge chip in front edge). The drawers are not designed to be pulled in and out very smoothly and it falls out of alignment every time it comes out so you have to wiggle it/struggle with it when putting it back in. The quality is pretty cheap, furniture from Ikea is better than this. I was utterly disappointed.

This desk is simple, solid wood and very easy to put together. The package arrives with the entire top piece already assembled, you merely have to attach the legs, total is 8 screws. I have read the other reviewers comment who gave this desk 1 star. My response to that would be, you paid 175 dollars for a solid wood writing desk that has a simple, but decent finish. As for the chip, that sounds like a problem with your specific desk, and I would suggest contacting the merchant and get it replaced. Mine is fine, I have no issues with the drawer, it again a simple wood on wood pull out (no rollers), the wood is all aligned. Ikea furniture is lower quality than this, otherwise I would have happily bought from IKEA. There are pieces from the Winsome's LISO collection i have had issues with.

I bought the printer stand and ladder book shelf. I also bought a small entertainment console (I started buying this brand of furniture after first acquiring the entertainment console, due to its reasonable quality, being solid wood, high quality hardware and of course, its very low cost). The finish for each is fine, the furniture feels well assembled (though these other pieces you assemble yourself entirely), I have had some alignment issues, mildly with the book shelf, more with the printer, but just enough to annoy, nothing more. The wood is dark, they do not have functional impact on the function of any of these three piece, and they slight alignment problems are not noticeable to the eye, you will not know they are there unless you were the assembler. I give the desk 5 stars, because it's great, the console 4, book shelf 4 and printer 3. Happy buying.

THis desk is a nice piece of furniture and is so so easy to put together that even a child could do it if need be.

This is a very nice desk. It is sturdy and a nice piece of furniture. I use it for a computer desk.

These tables look fantastic - very good material and easy to assemble, also not super heavy and easy to move around once assembled

The Desk is certainly made of great wood. I was expecting it to be black, as some others were, but the "espresso" finish looks nice. I plan on staining it black to match some other furniture though. I am using it to finish up my undergrad and it's the perfect size for computer work and reading...

I bought the item used. The screws for the drawer handle were missing. The drawer does not open/close smoothly and gets stuck on the railings. Also, there is a chip about 2 inches long on the top left corner of the desk. I think the drawer could be manufactured a little better. It was very easy to assemble though!

Overall, after buying it used, I got what I expected - but you cannot beat the bargain price at $58.

Amazon shipped the desk promptly. Putting it together was easy and the desk appears to be sturdy. I love the espresso finish however, there are a few markings on the drawer front that could have been smoothed out...quality control issue. The one issue I have, is the desk drawer was broken and I didn't realize it until all four legs were installed. Probably wouldn't have shipped it back to Amazon anyway because I believe it can be an easy fix by screwing the bottom of the drawer in place. For the price, I'm satisfied with the product.

I have had this desk and use it daily for nearly a year now. It does what its supposed to do and has held up to multiple cleanings with Pledge...still looks nice and shiny. I would give it 5 stars but when it arrived, there was some minor damage on one of the legs. Not really a major issue for me but I do want to acknowledge that in my rating of the product.

The desk was shipped by Amazon in its Winsome box with little padding to protect it. When I opened the box one side of the desk had cracked corners on both sides. I submitted a picture of the damage to be displayed with the customer picures. I like that the desk has room for my laptop along with paperwork.

This is a nice looking, solid desk. It was very easy to put together until it came to screwing the handle onto the drawer. The holes for the screws were not the right distance apart. I ended up having to use a drill to move one of the holes over, and then had to buy a longer screw for the new hole to make up for the indentation around the original hole.

I am using the desk for a laptop. The desk is a little too tall for that. In spite of the issues, I still like the desk and would have given 5 stars if not for all the trouble with attaching the handle.
