Highly Recommend

I bought this desk for my home office. Description is vintage black and that is what I got (other reviews say they thought it was gray or brown?). It is black with the vintage look so it is spot on with what I thought color wise. I love the color!

This the second one of these desks that I purchased. The first was for my daughter when Covid hit and moved school to remote operation followed by a second for my father in law. It's a nice looking piece of furniture that was not difficult to put together. Good quality for the price. It's attractive in both rooms and has gotten tons of use - held up well so far. It's definitely a good purchase.

Beautiful but assembly is a B*

The desk is worth the assembly. It's really pretty and will fit my needs perfectly. I'm giving it four stars because it doesn't have a hole in the back for wires which isn't good if you don't have normal length wires, unless you're going to keep this literally over an outlet. Also giving it four stars because the assembly is NO JOKE. Like, seriously, don't underestimate this thing. It took me eight hours to build by myself...and I'm very well versed in building furniture, having built the majority of the pieces in my apartment. I do not recommend trying to build this alone, especially if you don't lift regularly or have any hand/back problems. You can't really use a drill for the majority of the pieces; you have to use a Phillips head screwdriver. If you can afford it, get the expert assembly (I'm not sure if it's offered for this). I tried to add it on after I bought it but couldn't. Anyway, the desk is lovely and I really hope it lasts the test of time.

Great desk, spacious, lots of book shelves

Great desk! Kids love it. Spacious. Enough desk space for 2 laptops and other electronics, putting all their school books, personal books, and knick knacks. Other desks I searched for were smaller and didn't have the top shelf space for books as this desk. I will admit the build was hard. You need power tools and patience. All easily explained but it's lengthy to set up. Nonetheless highly recommend if you are looking for a great desk.

worst thing we have ever put together!!

So Bush furniture should try purchasing their products somewhere other than China. Instructions horrible and 2000 pieces. Way worse than any ikea furniture. Quality isn't all that great. Sad that something we purchased for our daughters future could make a person so angry. I don't recommend purchasing from Bush furniture unless you want to stop life in its entirety to put it together. Even now that's it all put together i still can't look at it. It makes me ill to think about it . Never again. Horrible experience with a horrible company! Do not purchase!

Pretty but complicated.

Packaging was really good as the delivery man just threw it into my porch but nothing was broken. Took an hour just to unpack and take inventory. I am an experienced assembler and this was the most complicated I have ever seen; about 40 particle board parts and 200+ pieces of hardware. BTW: You get EXACTLY the number of hardware pieces needed. No extras at all. Good thing I didn't lose any. It took me several hours spread over a couple of days to do the assembly. It gets tiring after a while. When they tell you you need an assistant, you do. BE VERY CAREFUL MOVING PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED PIECES. Phillips screwdriver and hammer are the only tools needed. Do this on a carpet or a blanket so as not to damage anything. For pictorial instructions, I have to say they were excellent. Be very careful of the orientation of the pieces before you put them together. Piece DD had me turned around and the small block FF was particularly fragile. I did make a couple mistakes that I was able to recover from. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE ASSEMBLY EXPERIENCE. Lastly, because the top section is only attached to the bottom with L brackets in the back, I added a couple near the front part of the top section for stability. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL PIECE BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

I purchased this desk for my online graduate program. I knew I'd be sitting at the desk upwards of 30 hours a week studying and writing papers. In short, this desk is perfect. It's beautiful to look at, provides me with enough space to work, and the storage up top is fantastic. I do wish the side portion was all drawers since I do not have a computer tower. However, that is my only recommendation. I put this together myself and it took me about 6 hours with breaks. The directions were easy to follow.

It's overwhelming.

I'm very familiar with putting things together but this desk and hutch was way out of my league. It's overwhelming seeing all the unrecognizable pieces, large, small and tiny that have to go into building this thing. I finally got one of my son's friends to put it together and it took a little over 4 hours and he worked non stop on it too. It looks really nice when put together though. Mine came with a computer chair.. ugh.. worst computer chair ever. It's small and very uncomfortable. The back of it is fairly straight so it's not comfortable. That was easy to put together though.

Overall a good purchase

Unit is solid when assembled (which takes less than 2 hours), and will suit my purpose quite well. I have carpeted floors so I immediately purchases a set of teflon discs to place under each leg which makes it much easier to move the desk unit. I feel that this item will fill my needs for several years to come and I am well pleased with my purchase. The finish is a creamy color with soft gray undertones; plenty of surface space, as well as space underneath for your legs. Given how inexpensive the unit was (including assembly), I feel that I certainly got my money's worth.

As others have commented this is the most complex assembly I have ever done. There are many pieces that might have been preassembled like little spacers but they don’t. I did it alone and it took much more then the 2 hours others mentioned. Absolutely you need to have more glue on hand than what they give you. There must be 30 little bags of different screws,washers, cams, pins etc. and not one spare, so if you drop a screw and lose it or the pin breaks you will need to call them for more. I found that usually provides a spare so fortunately had an extra on hand when the pin snapped even though the clutch on my drill was set quite low. The pictographs showing assembly are a little convoluted as to lefts and rights or which side you are looking at and generally the whole assembly, packaging and instructions were about the worst I have ever seen. Once all done it isn’t bad looking and for us it fit perfectly our needs.

End results worth the effort required

The end result is worth it, but assembly is time consuming. There's nothing complicated about the assembly, it's pretty straight forward and the instructions are good, BUT there are a few steps that are awkward and heavy. These steps are clearly marked with "assistant required." While it is possible to do it by yourself, I did and apparently many other reviewers did as well, but I don't recommend it. If you have someone to assist you, by all means have them assist you! Those saying I did it myself and it was easy are either super human or LYING. Lifting the hutch up onto the desk by yourself is NOT easy, lifting the desktop and aligning it over all the screws and dowels by yourself is NOT easy. And I do assembly for a living. That being said, once it's together, it's a nice spacious, sturdy desk. Can't beat it for the price. Will it last forever? Probably not. Will it last several years? I'd say most definitely.

Grrrrreat Item!

I love love love this desk. I have it in my master bedroom and it works very well with my Asian furniture. There is ample room for folders, computer, odds 'n ends you have for an office (pens, pencils, staples, etc.), books, plants...... There were quite a few pieces but still very easy to assemble. The drawer slides in and out easily. The side cabinet fit my computer console with plenty of room. The entire desk is very sturdy. There is ample leg room for you to sit. The slide out key board tray is at a perfect height for me. It is roomier than I had thought.

I love my new desk. First, the shipping. The box was a bit beaten up from delivery but they packaged this so well nothing was damaged. The box is very heavy so make sure when you receive this you have help. Putting it together took over 2 hours for us, we hit a snag when we saw that one of the door hinges were chipped in the screw hole. We called the manufacturer and they are sending us a replacement, great customer service. Minus that snag it came together beautifully. Definitely a two person job. It has great detail and beautiful hardware. The hutch has ample storage space and I like that it's open. I bought the matching cabinet and they look great together. There are 2 more pieces from this collection I want to complete the set.

Nice desk for apartment crafting

When looking for a desk, I wanted something with a hutch or some storage space because I don't like drilling into apartment walls for shelves or other storage things. This desk offers a hutch, which is a great way to store my crafting supplies in decorative boxes or in the small cabinet below. Clearly this is made to be a computer desk with storage for a tower, but I just have a laptop. Overall it works great in my space and I am happy with it.

Funtional Beauty

Absolutely love this desk!

Beautiful once assembled........

Unfortunately, that is all it has going for it. I fell in love with this desk the instant I saw it online. It had the size and features I wanted, and it was a very attractive piece of furniture. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, took us an hour or so to get it all put together. The only flaw I could find was the piece on left side that holds up the desk top, wasn't the most sturdy support for a desk of this size, but I figured if we just put it in place and didn't move the desk much, it wouldn't matter.
