Great Desk!
I snagged this desk when it was on sale, so I'm really pleased with my purchase. For a $350 desk, it’s impressive—heavy, spacious, and sturdy. The instructions were great; I managed to put it together on my own in about two hours, just taking my time. Seriously, I wish Ikea could take some notes from Sauder on ease of assembly. The finish looks good, and I haven’t noticed any marks on it. A nice bonus is the touch-up paint that comes with it, along with a tiny USB thumb drive. The drawers feel solid and slide perfectly without sagging. The packaging and shipping were spot on, which was my main concern. I can't imagine trying to pack this back up for a return if it hadn't worked out. All in all, I'm happy with this desk!

I was a bit nervous putting this desk together since it's the biggest piece I've tackled and it's my first time with a Sauder product. But my worries were for nothing. It arrived in two boxes, and everything was really well packed with no damage. Most of the lumber pieces were numbered, but a few weren't. I figured those out easily. The hardware was straightforward too, even with more than 130 screws in different sizes. I suggest using a rubber mallet; it helped me a few times. The instructions were the best I've seen. They were clear and easy to follow. A couple of steps needed some intuition, but nothing too tricky. I did it alone, but having a buddy would be helpful, especially to flip it upright. It took me about six hours to finish. Now that it’s set up, I’m happy with it. It looks nice and feels sturdy. The drawers work smoothly and the edges fit well. My only small issue is with the keyboard drawer; it doesn't slide out of the way when opened, so it’s a bit harder to reach. Still, I think it’s a great value. I even ordered a matching Sauder bookcase!

A Stylish Desk Worth Every Penny
I’m really happy with this desk; it’s worth what I paid! It looks great, and I've received plenty of compliments on it already. Just a few tips: (1) This desk is pretty heavy, so you might want the delivery team to place it where you plan to set it up. (2) Organize the pieces and screws alphabetically before starting. (3) Get a buddy to help with assembly. (4) Make sure to follow the instructions carefully. (5) The drawer handles should face you when assembling. (6) Pay attention to how the drawers go in. (7) Keep a drill and screwdriver handy. (8) There’s a little black lever on both sides of the drawers that helps if you need to remove one. Just press both levers and pull. (9) If a drawer won't fit, you probably just need to flip it around. Overall, I like this desk and would recommend it!

Great furniture piece!
I did have to wait a bit for delivery, but honestly, it was worth it. This piece of furniture is really nice! I was a bit hesitant about assembling it myself, so I asked one of my son's friends to help me out. It took him around 2.5 hours, and he was impressed with the instructions. He said they were easy to follow and that the person who wrote them has a great sense of humor. He even enjoyed a snack while working on it!

Nice Quality Desk
I've been a fan of Sauder for ages, and this desk didn't disappoint. Everything went smoothly with the assembly. The instructions were really clear and easy to follow. All the pieces fit perfectly together, and it looks great in my space. The only downside was the furniture touch-up pen; it was dry when I opened it. If Hawkins Woodshop sees this, maybe they could send a replacement?

Great desk!
I've been using this desk for about a year and I'm really happy with it. It still looks, is quite sturdy, and putting it together was a breeze.
