It's hard to tell how sturdy a piece of furniture is until it arrives. This desk is beautiful, solid and large to do everything I was wanting it for. One side holds my work computer screens, keyboard and mouse with a few other office supplies. The other side is perfect for my crafting and I am not moving anything to go from office employee to craftsman. My husband had it together in an hour and even after he seen it asked if I would trade his metal desk for mine. Well I am sure you can guess what my answer was. This is the best purchase and price I found, office supplies companies selling double for solid wood.Nice looking desk. I wish it was a little longer but overall it gets the job done. I bought several other pieces to go with it. Overall I am very pleased with the look. I didn’t want traditional dark furniture and I also didn’t want white, so the washed gray is a nice in between.I started a sticker business about 2 years ago and from then until now I’ve been lugging my computer, Cricut, cutting mat, and all of my sticker supplies out to my kitchen table to work. This meant I could only really work at night after my kids were in bed.Then I bought this desk and baaaaby, when I tell you I love it. It’s big enough to hold all of my stuff, as you can see in the photo. My cutting mat, computer, label printer, and Cricut are all comfortably on this desk. My Cricut sits in the corner and I’m able to cut with it there, the mat does not bang into the wall, though I have not cut anything on the 12x24 mats yet. The 12x12 has absolutely no problems, though.The desk itself is sturdy, gives off a farmhouse vibe, and isn’t super huge despite the fact that it fits a rather large cutting mat, my Cricut Maker, and my desktop Mac. I would 10/10 recommend this desk to my fellow crafters out there in need of a workspace! I bought it in Gray Wash and I'm pleased with the color.It was easy to put together. I assembled it by myself but it would definitely go faster if someone helps. It’s a great size and sturdier than I expected. I browsed a lot of desks before settling on this one. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and I’ve had no problems.We just assembled this desk and by far, is one of the better quality desk purchases we have made. We ended up getting this at a great price so I was a bit hesitant prior to this arriving. When the desk arrived, in the box it was very heavy, so this was our first sign that it would be of higher quality. The desk was nicely manufactured, the assembly directions were very easy to follow and the overall process did not take long at all. The desktop is extremely spacious and once assembled, the overall structure is very sturdy. We are happy that this was the selection that we made!This desk is perfect for my office space at home. It looks great and high-quality. It was a perfect price for my budget.I bought this desk for my bedroom as I’m a busy mom who’s in graduate school, and needed more desk space for all my work. This desk is perfect, really pretty, sturdy, and fits the space better than I imagined. I can spread out and stay organized. I’m so happy with it!See my review under the hutch. Easy when you read the directions and take your time. Very satisfied.
