Sauder Heritage Hill Executive Desk, Classic Cherry finish

This is a fabulous desk and is well worth the price! The look of the desk is awesome and others will compliment you many times over for the purchase of it. Here are a few things to keep in mind: (1) The desk is heavy to have the delivery people to put it where it will be assembled (2) It is important to put the desk pieces and screws in alphabetical order (3) Have 2 people for assembly (4) Follow drawings closely (5) Drawer handles must face you (6) Assemble and insert drawers correctly (7) Have drill AND screwdriver handy (8) There is a small, black (almost triangular) drawer release lever on the metal rods of BOTH sides of drawers if you've put a drawer in the wrong drawer slot. Press BOTH release levers up or down and pull out the drawer (9) If a drawer won't go in, it most likely means that you have assembled the drawer backwards. You can easily correct this. I like this purchase and will highly recommend it!!.

I am very happy with this desk. I have had it for about a year now and have no problems with it. It looks great, it is very sturdy, and it was easy to assemble.

This is a nice desk. Seems a bit expensive. The directions for assembly are good but there are a lot of parts to put together.

Of all the furniture I've put together over the years, this one had me the most apprehensive, mainly because it's the biggest with the most parts. It's also the first Sauder product I've bought, so in spite of the positive reviews on their other products, I wasn't sure. As my star rating shows, my worries were unfounded. The desk came in two boxes due to it's size and weight - this is close to 200 lbs of furniture so it's solid. The parts in the box were well laid out and protected, and there were no scratches or cracks. For the most part, the pieces of lumber were numbered for easy identification, but for some reason a few weren't. By process of elimination, it was easy to figure out what was what, and the hardware was also pretty easy to manage - in spite of there being over 130 screws of 11 different sizes, it wasn't bad at all. It says all you'll need is a screw driver and a hammer, but I also used a rubber mallet a few times and would recommend one. Of all the furniture I've put together, this piece had the best instructions. Very well written and illustrated, and easy to follow. There were a few steps when putting the file drawers together that I had to intuitively figure things out, but it was nothing major. Though I put this together by myself, I would recommend having someone help, if for no other step than when you have to flip it right-side up. Overall it took me almost six hours to finish. I've been using the finished product for a week now and am very pleased. It's looks great and has a very solid feel. The drawers slide out well and are smooth, and the edges where pieces meet are flush. If there was one quibble I have it would be the keyboard drawer - when you flip open the front, it doesn't slide out of the way, which puts me further from the keyboard than I prefer. Still, an excellent value, and I've since ordered a Sauder bookcase to go with it.

Love the woodwork

I spent 8 hours on a weekend to put this desk together only to find multiple ,anifacturing issues with it. I have put together bigger furnitures than this with no issues but this one had so many manufacturing defects that it was plain annoying and not worth the price and effort spent on it. To list a few issues:The drilled holes for keyboard tray is not aligned correctly so the lid doesn't stay on, the lock is in the wrong spot too. The file holder rods are missing. I contacted the customer service of the vendor as well as Sauder and it's been a month with no resolutions. The customer service figured this was a manufacturing issue so asked me to send pictures so their technicians can take a look. I sent pictures and videos to show what exactly is worng with the drilled holes. But I haven't heard from them which makes me believe they know the desk is faulty. Now I have a huge useless piece of furniture taking up space in my office.

I had to replace a Sauder desk due to water damage. It was a pain to assemble, but I new that. All in all, a good value for your money. The assembled desk looks fabulous. I would like to suggest that the manufacturer come uo with adjustable legs for the desk, because the parsticle board it is made from will not stand any water damage. Nowing this, I fastened 2x4 boards to the inside of the uprights and put adjustable legs on them. Now a water leak in the house will not destroy a desk that I put a lot of hours into putting it together,
