SauderBeginnings Writing Table, Cinnamon Cherry finish

For the price, it is pretty good. We wanted a small writing desk to fit a certain area and it does. It took a few hours to put together. The directions can be a little confusing, but if you take your time and double check, it should work out fine. The worst part is holding up the different screws to the picture to figure out which ones they want you to use for which step. It would be easier if there did not have to be so many different types of screws in the same little bag. The silver handle in the picture is actually plastic (not a big deal given the price of the desk). Once together, it is pretty sturdy.

This desk came in a million pieces.. it took forever to assemble and it's plywood so it's essential that you use the predrilled holes or it might split..btw the drawer doesn't fit and when it did fit it never stayed on track .so it kept falling on my son's feet ... Yep that's right it has gliding tracks and if you've ever assembled anything with those you know how sad it will make you as soon as you see them lol . overall the desk itself... once I replace it I would reinforce it with some mounting brackets and use as a entry way table and mount a mirror... minus the drawer of course lol because let's be honest the desk is pretty sexy

Wow, beautiful desk just like the one I needed. I've been searching for a campaign desk for a while but they are so pricey, the price for this desk was good. But you get what you pay for, the work you have to put assembling it it's just, soooooo stressful. It comes in a million pieces, assembling the drawer and the upper part of it, is just the worse lol, seriously I love building and putting things together but I never imagined this little desk would give me such a pain in my hands from using the screwdriver for 3 hrs. Anyway, it is cute! Read carefully and take it slowly and everything will be just A OK!

This desk is EXACTLY what I wanted. The other reviews made it easy to determine that this was what I needed. I did see the other users who had minor issues with the drawer. The two screws nearest the drawer front that secured the slides to the drawer have the ability to be positioned at different heights. Knowing that others had some issues with the movement dependent on how they positioned the slides I didn't tighten the screws until I was done and flipped the desk upright. This let me get the level right and the height adjustment correct for easy movement.This desk is the perfect height and depth for what I needed. It fits right under my window and makes for a fantastic workspace. This was not only an excellent deal but it really fit well into my space.

So the table is great! It's big enough for me to fit my 2 laptops and my iPad and I still have enough room to write on It. Biggest HATE was It comes in millions of pieces BUT It is very easy to assemble using the instructions. Do NOT use a power drill to put It together; you will strip the pre-drilled holes and It will be difficult for you to assemble. It's study enough and even withstood me sitting on It slowly to test the balance (160 lbs). If you need something to do during Ms Funky Rona, this is the perfect little project to take your mind off of things.

You get what you pay for. It shipped pretty quickly, but I live relatively close to Atlanta. Upon opening the box, I inspected it and found water damage to one side of one of the panels of the legs.I didn't care to much to replace it because I wanted to start putting the table together and using it. Like other users have said, if you're not use to putting IKEA type furniture together, you may want to ask for help.I had no issues putting it together and it took about 45 minutes to do it alone. Granted, it would have been faster if I didn't have to manually turn every screw.The table itself is a little wobbly and some of the pre drilled holes didn't match up to the piece it was suppose to connect to...It's not very sturdy. The most I placed in the table were some stationary tools and my laptop.

Anyone who says that this is not sturdy, or was difficult to put together did not do it right. If you put it together as the instructions state and insert the screws until they are nice and tight, the desk will be perfectly sturdy! That said, there are a couple downsides.ConsThe back end has a part that is not finished with the coating so you have to put it against a wall if you do not want that to show.The drawer doesn't open all the way, this is true, but you can easily grab anything that would be inside it. Not much of a con to me.All in all, for the price that I paid I will rate this 5 stars. If I paid $100 for a desk, I would expect something near perfect, but for $45 this is a steal.

I am currently using this as my nail tech desk. In about 9 months my state is requiring any nail tech to have a filter air system while doing nails. I didn't want to buy something to expensive knowing I would have to replace it in nine months. This desk has been good to me so far. I have had it now since December. I am tempted to buy another one so I can have the other one in a different spot in the house. The only thing that was a huge pain was putting it together. That is literally the only thing keeping me from buying a second. Also since this is suppose to go against the wall,they did not paint the top back part of the desk. I was able to cover mine and make it work.

Really small writing table perfect fit for my needs or if space is an issue. Drawer handle is extremley cheap looking grey plastic. Could've been better. But over all I received what I expected.

A little wobbly despite making sure all the legs are tight. Pretty easy to assemble and looks great, perfect size for a small workspace / office.
