This desk looks nice, but the quality is poor. The drawers were damage when received, I called the customer service and they sent me the new ones.
Some parts of the desk should be metal but they are plastic instead. So, it is very easy to break. My 16 months old son opened the drawers and CPU door a few times and they broke. They are very easy to get scratches.

Pros:
1.Appearance-Desk looks very sophisticated
2.Style-Elegant design
3.Storage-Fairly sizable drawers
Cons:
1.Workmanship-although the materials look good it is rather cheap and easily damaged. The desk is assembled in two large pieces and when moving there is significant strain at the connection interface.
2.Drawers don’t line up precisely
3.Due to the location of the tower, a lot of the wires had to be stretched significantly in order to reach the surge protector. This makes addition of peripherals VERY difficult since pulling out the tower is nearly impossible without ripping the wires out.
4.Pulling the tower scratches the finish.
5.Assembly took a VERY long time and I have experience assembling many of these types of furniture.
6.Tower seems to heat up a lot faster inside the compartment due to poor airflow.
Bottom line: Not bad for the price, but certainly not great.

I hate this about a lot of pressed board furniture: the pre-drilled holes are not in the right place and the drawers and doors are all crooked when you’re finished.
It looks sloppy. The door is the only straight piece on this because it can be adjusted with the hinges.
The keyboard tray slides out very easily which is sometimes not so with this type of furniture. It is a beautiful color and would look awesome if the drawers weren’t so crooked.
It’s very solid, doesn’t wobbly at all and has just the right amount of storage space. It has a nice thin 2 shelf system above the filing cabinet section that is perfect for routers, cable modems & other small devices to be placed and free up desk/floor space.
Next time I will be spending more for real wood furniture with STRAIGHT drawers. But for the price, this serves it’s purpose well.

I bought this desk from a Bush outlet and it was shipped to my house. It arrived broken. The desktop was literally cracked in half. For what should be a very substantial piece of the desk, that should not have happened. So my first impression is that this is not very good quality, even though UPS probably dropped or dameaged it.
Once I put it together, I could see that the whole work area of the desk is basically unsupported underneath, and has two rather flimsy legs. So moving this thing into my living room was a bit dangerous as the desk twisted and buckled as I moved it over the carpeting. I’m afriad to ever move it again, I suspect one day the top will crack in half.
I had no trouble with getting the doors/drawer straight, as some people have posted, but it is good to have a level to help you get the alignment right. What bugs me about this whole desk is that unlike other put together desks I’ve had – the finish is not really wood laminate. It’s a wood grain printed PAPER! So within days, my son had chipped off a small bit of the finish on the cpu door. After 2 months of use, the edges of the desk are also showing wear and I’ve had to use a furniture scratch pen to “paint” over the scratches. I don’t see this desk lasting very long at all. However, its one of the few desks I’ve seen that has a CPU door, which is very helpful with a toddler in the house.

I have been using this desk for the past year and had not had any major problems with it. It is fibeboard/MDF and paper. It looks great but the paper does come off easily especially if your kids put stickers on it! I have moved it 3 time and disassembled it into 2 or 3 pieces (tower and file cabinest can be removed from the top and legs section) to make the transfer easier and used a blanket to sheild it from scratches and that seemed to do the trick.
All my drawers and door asembled correctly so no issues there, but I did get some parts dinged up but they did not show and I took the cove off the back of the tower for more ventilation

This desk looks great and has alot of desktop space. Just received it last night and it was very easy to install. Took me over 3 hours but I was doing it by myself and decided not to use an electric screwdriver to prevent overtightened screws or damages, yes call me cautious
Anyway, the thing that impressed me from beginning to end for the installation was the well packaged parts and especially very well-labeled parts leading to major ease of installation. The instruction manual is very well-detailed and points out exactly which part number and screw number to use at each step. Very idiot-proof in my opinion. All pieces arrived in great condition. The keyboard plank had a minor scratch on the rear surface but nothing to really upset me about. One screw did not have its head indented properly so I couldn’t use the Phillips screwdriver but thank goodness a bag of spare screws was included for each of the approximate 8 screw types. This is a nice luxury I rarely see other manufacturers provide.
My only other gripes about this desk are that:
1) The corner surface’s single straight leg support seems to fall a little short. Maybe it’s my uneven floorboards but I had to untwist the leveling wheel to its maximum support distance.
2) The 4 front legs also tend to be a bit sharp. During shipment they are covered by a black plastic sheath/protector. I usually wear slippers at home but I plan to drill holes into the sheaths and re-insert them before screwing the circular feet back in so that I would not accidentally cut my toes or feet when moving about at the desk. They should have made the plastic sheaths gray with openings at the bottom to let use simply attach the table feet right into the legs.
All in all still an excellent product and willing to give it 5 stars.

I actually purchased this desk directly from [...] (through Amazon.com) because it was about $20.00 cheaper. The desk is pretty solid and enough space for all of my computer peripherals and more. It took a little over an hour to assemble myself, but would have likely easier with an additional pair if hands.
I was worried that the bolts would be cheap aluminum, as I have experienced with other desks, but to my surprise everything was solid.

Best price and perfect for my use as a solid base for my sewing/embroidery machines which need to be kept stable. Can be put together by an amateur like me.

This computer table was much better than I expected. Nice stainless steel hardware, easy to assemble and very sturdy. I was very pleased with the overall quality and value.
