American TrailsFreedom Made of Solid American Desk with USB Ports, Natural Oak (New) (A605-526)

I had a different desk ordered made of MDF and then I found this desk w solid oak for not that much more money. Love the style. It was so easy to put together. My oldest son has this in his new room and is very excited about the USB ports within the desk. Honestly, it’s sturdy, stylish, easy ti put together and a reasonable price. I hate writing reviews but I was so excited about this that I had to write one. Now I’m jealous of my son who has a nicer looking desk that the diy refurbished one I redid years ago in our living room. May have to order a second desk!

Well built and practical - great for kids desk

We waited so long for this desk to be back in stock so imagine our disappointment when we got it. It’s a solid built desk but some choices were made that I just don’t understand. There is a large, very visible bit of wood borer damage to the wood that was filled in with putty. This isn’t a tiny hole that could be mistaken for a knot in the wood. This is several inches of a larvae’s former home; a winding trench that is several inches long, about 1/4” wide & filled in with putty that does not blend in seamlessly with the wood color. I understand that trees sometimes have inhabitants in their trunk & that something like this is pretty normal BUT it’s literally in the most visible spot! It’s at the edge closest to you when you are sitting at the desk - look down & there it is! Questionable choices were made here - but, why? Why in the most visible spot? The most obvious choice would’ve been to flip that side over as (as far as I can tell) the wood on the other side is perfect. Another option would’ve been to have this further away from where you sit (by the USB port) since a book or lamp would easily cover it. A desk was needed, it functions as a desk and returning it seemed like a hassle. It’s a bummer too because it fits the space beautifully and the design is the clean look we were looking for. Unfortunately that wood fill is an eyesore.

The desk has a lot of issues. From a cracked top, uneven seams with visible glue, splinters and gaps. Contacting the manufacturer didn't seem to be an option so had to communicate with amazon. They offered a partial refund, I accepted as returning this heavy desk would be quite a bit of hassle (especially with the holidays fast approaching) and I needed a desk and could not wait for a replacement (that could also have issues) - but please be wary of ordering the desk, the quality control seems to be lacking. I will have to spend the partial refund I received on materials to fix up the desk unfortunately. The amazon representative was not very sympathetic.

So, like many fortunate people who are required to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, I needed a desk ASAP. And I wanted one I LOVED, not just some junk from the closest store. It needed to be easy to assemble, and look good. This is perfect! I kept looking for a smaller corner desk but kept coming back to this one and I’m so glad I did. Who wants to sit in a corner for Zoom/telecon meetings?! Not me.Super Easy Assembly: Take the pieces out of the box (the desktop, one box w 4 legs, and the bag with the electric cable & USB adapters. Screw the legs in (NO TOOLS!), plug it in and you are ready to go.I also want to buy any matching pieces (end tables!!) I can.

I really like it, the color is great, it's sturdy and doesn't wobble. The drawers are smooth when you open and close them. The only problems I had with it is the card that you plug from the desk into the wall falls out of the desk pretty easily. An issue I had when I got it and was assembling it, one of the legs wouldn't screw in and I ended up having to unscrew one the wooden pieces from the dresser, screw the leg in with the wooden piece loose, then screw the wooden piece back on. Other than that, pretty good desk!

It’s beautiful, functional, and I just love it! I’m super impressed by the quality. It’s got that nice wood smell too. It’s perfect! I love it!

The desk was simple to assemble- just screw on the legs and plug in the desk. It is a pretty decent wood quality and it pays off in the weight of the desk. However, the drawers are a little tough to pull open, so I may need to add oil to them. Similarly, the legs make the desk wobbly and it will move side to side which has already resulted in me spilling tea everywhere after a light tap. Overall, the design is great and it charges my devices quickly. I would recommend this product but watch out for the desk's stability.
