This is really an expensive looking desk

Product went together perfectly for my husband who is pretty handy. I would not have been able to do this. Desk is very heavy. We had to take the box apart to carry pieces downstairs. It says almost everywhere that Sauder can not be painted. I Did not like the color of the Vintage Oak. It did not look like the picture. I put 2 and three coats of Chalk Paint in Blue Lake and am really happy with the results. My only complaint- I will never be able to slide this desk on a floor without scratching. The bottom boards are all unfinished and would definitely scratch a floor. Other than my own personal color choice and unfinished bottom, I would say this is a really expensive looking desk and will last for years.

Great Purchase!

Purchased this desk and in 4 days it was delivered. It is a very heavy desk and needs 2 to place it together. It took us 8 hours, but reading the directions twice to make sure we understood was worth it by far. Some of the number markings are hard to find, but if you have plenty of sun light you will be able to see the ones on light wood pieces. Now that it is all finished, I love this desk!!!! I highly recommend this desk. It will last a long time.

Looked Great but that's it...

I got this desk in May of 2020. It took me a good week to put together but unfortunately the parts weren't properly manufactured so the alignment of the drawers were all off. I took it apart and tried again but same result. I then contacted Sauder who asked me to take pictures and provide which more then proved the manufacturing issue. Their response was to take it apart AGAIN! Sure enough I did except for this time, I had a professional contractor put it together this time. Same result!! Sauder then came back asking me to take it apart again!! At this point I realized they weren't going to resolve the issue and I was just stuck with an expensive faulty desk. This past April, the desk was being moved and because of the faulty manufacturing and alignment issues, the entire desk fell apart in the movers hands. This is unacceptable and too expensive to have such issues without customer service that will resolve. Complete waste of my hard earned money and time!!
