Excellent in styling and construction, but color is not accu

I purchased several pieces of this Hammond Collection for my home office. The hutch fits both file and cabinet, it's excellent in styling and construction. The only reason I'm giving a 4-star review is that the color of this collection's photos and description as ""blonde"" are not accurate. The color leans towards a more light gray color wash, then a blonde color. I viewed this collection on a professional photographer's monitor for more accurate color before purchasing and was expecting a blonde color. I did tell customer service my concerns, and I hope they change the color photos and description. As for assembling the executive desk, there are many pieces to assemble and be advised two people need to work on it.

Working Directly with Sauder was Great

I purchased this product directly from Sauder after finding that the other piece for it was not available elsewhere. I am always hesitant about buying directly from the manufacturer because my delivery experience with others has been less than satisfacotry. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly the ordered was filled and the shipment received. I will go directly back to them for any future Sauder products.

Hard to review when I can't get it delivered!

I suspect if I ever get the product, it will be as good or better than any other Sauder product I have enjoyed. But for now I have some of the boxes and I am unable to assemble anything and I have been waiting 27 days. It is hard to build a desk when you have half the parts and no hardware. It is hard to add a hutch to a file drawer that is not here. Estes is the freight company and they are horrible. Sauder told me they would try again with another freight company and then used Estes again. This should not be this hard.
