The parts went together perfectly.
I've put several Sauder items together and they all went together very well. This desk amazed me. All the predrilled holes were in perfect position. All the screws lined up as per instructions. Just a great piece of furniture.

Nice Desk
Really nice quality! It took a few hours to get it all put together, but the instructions were pretty clear and it wasn’t too difficult.

Hats Off To Sauder For Great Customer Support
I debated quite some time before ordering this desk. I was hesitant about shipping such a large project, but I decided to order one. When my tracking number said it was to arrive, there was only 1 box on the porch (Carton 2 of 2). When I looked up the tracking number, it merely said my order was delivered. To my surprise the other box was delivered the next day. However the box was tore and taped up. After unboxing and taking an inventory, several pieces were damaged and all the hardware was missing. With one call to Sauder Customer Support the hardware pack and replacement parts were on the way; No Hassle. The desk took awhile to assemble; I think I took 4 days spending a couple hours each day. Assembly is straight forward but I would try rushing it. The instruction booklet is very well done with pictures that are easy to follow. Some steps you will need another set of hands. All the pieces are quality made and the finished desk is beautiful and heavy. I suggest buying a pack of sliders to permanently place under it (just in case you need to move it). Everyone that has seen it loves it. I would buy it again.

This desk is perfect!
I purchased this desk for my home office. It is such a beautiful color and just the right size. Only compliant I have is that the back board does not align properly so there is gapping. Shipment/Delivery Comments Arrived in great condition! And delivery time was spot on!

A lot of thought put into the design, and instructions, great job!
This unit was packaged correctly, they tried to protect it against shipping damages by extra strong cardboard edge pieces. A great idea, as it arrived undamaged. I was totally impressed with the instructions, and ease of identifying each piece. They made it so easy to identify by either numbering, or lettering, plus showing the true life size or each screw, or other small piece. They packaged each small part in a soft plastic sheet, with a compartment, for each part, with the part number, and quantity plainly printed next to the part. A page in the instructions also showed the part in actual size, and quantity. This made the assembly process easier than any other diy task I have ever put together. I'm 82, and have put together many items. Because of my age, and size, 6'2", 250lbs. I am not very flexible anymore, so it took me about 7 hours, over 2 days, to complete the job. I think a young person, could take several hours off the assembly time. I only needed a couple different length screwdrivers, and a hammer, and because I'm old, a small flashlight, that was it. I was continually amazed that everything fit. All holes, or slots, lined up just perfectly. They did a great job engineering and producing this unit. I found no problem following the instructions. The fact that everything made sense, and fit perfectly, kept me amazed the whole time I was putting it together. Keep in mind, with all these types of furniture, it is being made from pressed, or particle board, and the finish they put on it is very thin, so be careful how you handle the pieces. I did scratch mine, my fault, luckily it was in a place that doesn't show. At first I thought this was a bit expensive, for an item I had to assemble, but after finishing, I have a luxurious looking, beautiful, useful piece of furniture, well worth the price. I'm still amazed at the thought they put into giving the right instructions. I am so satisfied. My hats off to them, great job.
