Sauder Palladia Computer Desk with Hutch, Home Office Desk with Drawers, File Cabinet Storage Drawer, Cable Management, Keyboard Tray, in Vintage Oak finish

This desk came in two boxes. When I first ordered it, I only got box 2/2 and not box 1/2. Apparently, the first box, which had the cabinets and all the screws plus the instructions, got lost somewhere in shipping. However, after calling and reaching out to Amazon to let them know of my problem, they sent both boxes again for free and I received both box 1/2 and box 2/2 the second time around. I had to wait longer than I wanted to for this to come in, but it winded up being worth the extra time in my eyes!Now, it is little difficult to build and it took quite a few hours to make it (started at 3PM, finished at midnight, though there was dinner and snacks and talk in between). We used screwdrivers instead of power tools, though, so screwing everything in by hand was really what made it take so long. The little fancy blocks are solid wood, and were so difficult to screw in, but me and my sisters managed to get everything secure, and the desk turned out beautiful! And it's so sturdy, too!! I think the only downside for me is how easy the paint is to scratch, so just be careful assembling.

We just got it put together so my comments may change with time. I really am pleased. This Desk Computer and Hutch has most of the features I was wanting. This are the features I like: closed drawer/pull out for wireless keyboard; multiple drawers, shelf in computer tower location. I use a laptop rather than desktop computer but it fits into this opening; needed a desk with opening large enough to sit my printer (HP Officejet Pro 8610); correct measurements needed for space (width primarily) An issue we experienced was the round holes for wires need to be larger diameter as we had to trim and force the rubber end of the monitor cable as it would not go through the holes. As others have remarked the assembly time is extremely long...6 hours+. The instructions were very detailed and complete it's just that there are a lot of pieces to assemble.I had an issue with getting the removable shelf in as it was a very tight fit in the space. I called customer support number and received prompt assistance with little diificulty. Once completed it a very sturdy nice looking piece of equipment. It is a Sauder product so it is very heavy to move. We used furniture sliders and that helps a bit.

This Desk is absolutely Beautiful, Solid and Very sturdy, BUT it comes literally in pieces. We've never seen a piece of furniture come this unassembled. It was so very time consuming and the instructions were not always the easiest to follow. Now that it is fully assembled, I do feel it was worth it, but my husband who had to do the assembling may say different. Lol! It truly is a Beautiful Desk with old world charm and rustic class. I couldn't give it 5 stars due to the difficulty in assembling it.

Item is as described, total weight is 227 lbs. Been waiting a very long time for a new desk. The additional space and storage was really needed. Although there was some minor damage the over all unit arrived intact and unharmed. It is heavy, comes in two separate packages. I am a carpenter, it took me 6 1/2 hrs. to assemble. Not every piece is marked and some screws are in with cabinet handles. Some screws however where missing. A suggestion for the keyboard drawer, put down some extra padding. The hinge screws may cause you some problems. Also that same drawer will move, use padding that can be wedged or another item to stop that from happening. If you want a nice desk, it's worth the time.

Beautiful desk and hutch. It gives me so much more room to do my work. The drawers are great. I can now keep all of my paper work hidden instead of on the floor. The only drawback was the time that it took to put it together. I spent two days for a total of 8 -9 hours. The instructions were good, they could use some extra words in some places. It went together fine, had no problems with the assembly. I only has 2 small screws left over. Great buy for the price.

It's a great desk, looks better than the pictures once assembled and is super solid. The issue with that statement is "once assembled." The instructions are very well written and easy to follow, if you're fairly strong you can do it yourself, but it will take roughly 11 hours. That is not an exaggeration. You'll want another set of hands to help screw the two trillion parts together, and there's no mention of a knife in the instructions, which you'll need to neatly remove the perforations.Altogether I'm very happy with my purchace, I'm not sure you can find better at this price point.
