Customer Reviews
I got this desk after having bought a couple of other items from Hawkins Woodshop before, and those were easy to assemble. I really like this desk and I'm still figuring it out to make it work for me. It has plenty of space for writing or reading and even comes with 4 shelves. The only downside was that the instructions were a bit tricky since you can set it up for right or left-handed use, which made it a little confusing. You need the support poles; otherwise, it wobbles side to side. I'm giving it 5 stars because Hawkins Woodshop is a great company, and honestly, if I had paid more attention, I would have seen that the holes need to align a certain way. I didn’t use all the shelves, but I got some brackets for the extra ones and added them in another part of my house.

Great desk
This desk showed up five days earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. The instructions were straightforward, and it was simple to put together. It's solid and provides lots of workspace and storage right at hand. I’m really satisfied with how well it matches my headboard and the overall quality.

Perfect Desk for Us
I got this desk as a birthday gift for my husband, and he's really enjoying it! It has enough space for him to work, though I decided to set his computer on a nearby surface without shelves to keep things organized. The desk is sturdy and straightforward to put together. I love the built-in power outlet—it helps keep the cords from getting messy. Plus, the height is just right. I had bought the same one for myself a few years back, and I liked it so much that I had to get one for him too!

I bought this desk a couple of years ago for my grandson, and he's still using it. It still looks as nice as it did when I first got it! No regrets at all!

This desk is just what I needed! It fits perfectly in our bedroom and has enough space for a fully opened State map without feeling cramped. I keep my calendar, laptop, pencil sharpener, and a pencil box on it all the time. The side shelves are great for some books, a few files, and other small items too. I really like how it matches my bedroom furniture, and it feels well made—not cheap at all. It's sturdy, though I wouldn't recommend sitting on it! My husband put it together in about 30 to 45 minutes, and it arrived well packed with plenty of Styrofoam for protection. I'm happy with it and would suggest this desk. Just a heads-up, the first one I received had a broken piece, but I reached out to Colby and returned it at no cost. They quickly sent me a replacement.

I bought this desk after getting two other pieces from Hawkins Woodshop that I loved. They were really easy to assemble, and I'm happy with all of them. The desk is nice with plenty of space for writing or reading, and it has four shelves. The instructions were a little tricky since you can set it up for right or left-handed use, which made it confusing at times. You need the support poles, or it can wobble. I'm giving it five stars because Hawkins Woodshop is a solid company, and if I had focused more while setting it up, I would have caught that the holes have to be positioned a certain way. I didn't use all four shelves, but I found some brackets for the extras and hung them up elsewhere in my home.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday and he loves it! The desk has plenty of room for him to work, although I did place his computer on another surface on the side without the shelving to make it less crowded. Anyway, the desk is sturdy and easy to put together. The power outlet is great when it comes to reducing the inevitable tangle of wires. The surface is at a comfortable height as well. I had purchased this same item a few years ago for myself and like it so much that I got the same one for my husband.
