Dont purchase the product.

I put the desk together only to fine one drawer can't be completed. One desk drawer can't be put together because I have identical sides. Moreover, after calling customer service no answer was given to my request for one new side to complete the desk setup. Order the product at your risk.

I love this desk!

We bought this to complete our home office. Great little desk for a good price. Set aside plenty of time to put it together, and check each step twice (10 hours). Not for the faint of heart! That aside my husband and I had a great time putting it together. The instructions were easy to interpret and we loved the little comic relief throughout! Definitely a 2 person job.

Cute desk

Great desk that took some time to put together. The instructions are clear but for one person it took me most of a one day. I like the look and size of it. It arrived quickly but separated cartons that were left in the rain. No damage but for one board. Minor and not worth me waiting for a new part to arrive. Overall I’m pleased but do feel this desk is overpriced and should be no more than $600. It is particle board and cams that will not last.

L-shaped Reversible Sauder Desk

This is the same desk I put together 5 years ago! It only took a day to inventory put together and slide into place in my office. Sauder is simply marvelous. I was most impressed with their customer service! I've never communicated with a better customer service team! I had one quick question which was answered in a second. They truly look out for the customer and send their QUALITY product quickly, securely packaged, and by far the most excellent DIY (PUT IT TOGETHER YOURSELF) product out there on the market. Thanks again Sauder!!!

The desk is of good quality and workmanship

Using the desk in my study. It is attractive and well built once it's together. The trick is to keep track of all the pieces when putting the desk together.

Beautiful desk, great for a home office!

This desk was a bit of a challenge to put together - so many pieces, and two sets of directions (because the return can be on either side). Once I figured that out and got it put together, I couldn't be more pleased! The desk is sturdy and has a surprising amount of storage for its size. I needed a desk on the smaller side for my home office, but was still hoping for enough storage for office supplies and files, which this desk has. I did have my husband add a couple of extra grommet holes in the underside areas to run cords where I needed them to go more easily. I will also say that you will want a desk chair without arms. The area where you sit is compact, and chair arms definitely get in the way. But overall this desk is so pretty and for the price you really can't beat it! Less

Good design. Solidly built. Instructions good. All materials were included

Assembly skills required

Most importantly, take time to read and carefully follow the directions. Best to check and double check your work in each step to insure all parts are in the correct location. Be prepared to deal with pieces that are heavy and sometimes cumbersome. A helper would be advisable and mandatory in some steps. The desk comes in 2 cartons. The smaller carton contains desk drawers and the larger carton contains the desk frame, tops and hardware. The pieces are packed in a logical order following the assemble steps. Parts for the first steps are at the top and work down to the last step, the desk top. From there you can assemble each drawer and install each finished drawer into the desk. When complete, it is a very nice finished product. For a home office desk, it's perfect. Two caveats that were encountered caused some consternation. When assembling the desk top, 2 of the dowels that were inserted per the instructions did not line up with a mating hole. The dowels were in the desk frame and could not have been misplaced as there was only one hole available in the location shown in the instructions. The mating hole in the desktop was about 1 inch away. The dowels were removed and the top went into place. The other is the keyboard shelf slide out. When assembled, the shelf does not slide in and out easily. I'm hoping it will mover more freely after some use. Beyond those 2 items, it is a good looking desk for a home office. Less

I would definitely buy this product again.

I loved the look of this desk and my husband and I had a lot of fun putting it together. When we ran into some questions in the process of assembling it we called the helpline. The customer service was amazing, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable; didn't have to wait on hold for someone to help--they answered in a minute or two. I was very pleased with my desk and with the Sauder company.

Some sections of the instructions could be improved.

There are some pre-cut cabling holes but I used my hole saw to make additional ones
