Bush Furniture Key West Collection Writing Desk, Writing Table for Home Office in Dark Gray Hickory, Small Modern Farmhouse Desk

We purchased this writing desk, an L-shaped desk, and a filing cabinet for a small home office. It was great to be able to get matching sets to achieve a cohesive look in the limited space. All of the pieces are well-made, sturdy, durable, and look really nice. This purchase was made before I knew I would be starting a new career where I work remotely 95 percent of the time. This furniture withstands daily use of over eight hours and is comfortable to sit at. The L-shaped desk accommodates three large monitors, a small monitor, two laptops, a desk light, a label printer, two keyboards, and two mice, while still leaving room for some paperwork. The filing cabinet is spacious, providing space for a large multi-function printer with additional room left over. We are very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone. The writing desk is easy to assemble and can be put together by one person, while the L-shaped desk and filing cabinet are best assembled with two people. The instructions for the L-shaped desk were somewhat confusing, requiring careful attention to the details in order to ensure the pieces face correctly. So, allow yourself plenty of time for the L-shaped desk assembly if you decide to purchase it. The assembly directions for the writing desk and filing cabinet are very straightforward and easy to follow.

The box is HEAVY so you may need help. I'm strong, so I didn't ;)It took me about 3-4 hours to put together on my own. Wasn't too bad. Instructions are pretty clear except the part about the drawer slides. My holes were not pre-drilled on that step so... I was confused but eventually just drilled them in where I thought they should go and thank goodness I was correct!

The media could not be loaded. My overall opinion on this purchase is for the money it’s a decent desk.I’ve had the desk for around 2-3 months now. Assembly was a little time consuming but easy enough. I did not require help with assembly until closer to the end, when you attach the arms to the desk counter so expect to ask someone to help you at least once. Took me around 3/4 hours to assemble.Quality: when I was assembling this desk I came across a couple pieces with cracks, the placement of the cracks didn’t seem detrimental to the desk holding up so I decided to put the desk together with those cracks instead of waiting for the manufacture to send new parts and delay assembly. In my pictures you can see the worst cracked piece. Another thing I wanted to note is the stickers used to number the pieces WILL peel the finish off! I peeled one of the stickers off right before attaching it to another piece and it pulled the finish off as you can see in the photo above. My advice would be to keep all stickers on unless they are visible and when removing be very careful! Another thing you need to be aware of is this is entirely particle board, the ENTIRE thing!Other things I did not like: the desk counter is not one unit, I was very unhappy with this but by time I realized it the desk was 90% assembled so I decided to just give it a try. You use 4 brackets to attach the 3 pieces that make the top of the desk. It’s a bit odd and makes me concerned about the longevity of this desk. Also, the drawer isn’t fully functional, as you would think. There is a bar that is screwed into the middle of the desk counter. It is located under the counter and inside of the the drawer area. I bought organizers for the inside of my drawer but am only able to utilize them in the front half of the drawer or they hit the bar when you shut the drawer. So just be aware that the draw space is limited.FYI: the back of the cabinet is closed off by a piece of cardboard (printer with the wood finish) and nailed to the back. If you want to use this desk where the back of it is showing It will be obvious that this is not top notch quality. Also this cardboard backing has no holes so if you plan to place anything that will need to be plugged into the wall you will need to create a hole on the cardboard. The back of the desk footing is also very thin, not like the front pieces that look like a normal piece of wood.What can I say, you get what you pay for. This is overall visually appealing from far away, but the quality isn’t quite there. If you buy this be prepared to be careful with moving it/using it because it will fall apart much easier than a wood desk would.

I got this desk to match with some other pieces I had around the house. I decided I need to put home office together so I ordered this desk. It arrived quickly and it took me less than 30 mins to put it together, I didn't even need help. I love how it looks and it's definitely sturdy.

Above and beyond expectations. Was extremely easy to put together and is very stable and spacious. I am using it with dual purpose… as a computer desk and as a sewing table for my portable sewing machine. I live in a small retirement apartment and this desk fits my needs completely👍

Heavy. Nice color and great quality.

First off the desk was returned by somebody else. We could tell that because the back panel had already been torn off, and you could see the nail holes in it as well as the wood particles in the nails for that back panel. It did not have any instructions. Upon requesting it via email through the website, I got no response at all. I was finally able to find instructions on their website which were also horrible. All of the screws and pieces needed to assemble. The desk were in one plastic bag, so you didn’t know which parts were which. It was missing several pieces, of which you didn’t know until you started putting the desk together. How anybody ever rated this desk before a five or even a three is beyond my belief. The desk is mostly particleboard and in some cases paperboard. The desktop is oversized and you actually add pieces to make it wider. This is a horrible company, with a horrible product, and nonexistent customer service. I would never buy a piece of crap from them again . I’m not sure why I didn’t stick it back in the damn box again and send it back. Once I had it together even with adjustments, the door doesn’t close correctly. Totally a piece of crap.
