“It is beautiful desk and good quality, except that color on the right side of the desk is not even. It seems that paint is peeling.”

“This is a beautiful desk. Note, however, that "Solid Wood" is a slippery term these days. The top of the desk is made of MDF, as advertised. MDF contains formaldehyde and is a carcinogin; on the plus side, I did not notice any strong odor from that. Also note, MDF is moisture-resistant, not water-resistant and not waterproof, so don't put a weeping beverage container on it. For my purposes--furniture for an occasionally used guest space--this desk is a good, stylish addition and I simply ask guests not to put anything wet on it. This is a reasonable purchase even at the full price I paid, and I notice that it is now on sale!”

“I LOVE this desk. Unlike so much furniture I have purchased online, this one met every expectation! It is so cute and contemporary, and was a breeze to put together. We were missing a part on the first desk that was shipped to us, and after contacting customer service, they replaced it at no cost to us and had it to us in under a week. I was already amazed by the responsiveness and friendliness of their staff, when I received an extra little gift in the mail thanking me for our patience! Probably the best customer service I've ever received and I'll probably try to order all the furniture I can from them because of it!”

“*Revised - Customer service did an excellent job reaching out and compensating me appropriately for this desk that I wasn't happy with! Very very cute looking desk and easy to put together, but I have the following issues with it: - It was delivered with a couple small chips in the side- not worth returning it, but annoying, although they did offer a return and new desk, which was great. -The wood seems pretty soft; it already has a ton of scratches on top that look terrible (one of them was my fault but the others I don't even know what they are from..) -The drawer is not on metal drawer sliders (just wood on wood), so it feels cheap.”
