Sauder Shoal Creek Executive Desk, L: 65.12" x W: 29.29" x H: 30.55", Jamocha Wood finish

Most of those who wrote the hours it took to assemble were spot on and the sheer weight of the unit made it difficult to work. One assembled you love the weight. I have assembled many pressed wood products and most all felt flimsy and not long for the world. Not so with this desk. It feels like it's built to last. Granted moving it several times would be a challenge but for my purposes it will be where it is for years and I have full confidence it will last it. The desk is beautiful to see and both the file drawers will replace to file cabinets I had. I have on the desk two laptops a monitor and an Ion turntable and it's deep enough for me to still write on and not look cluttered. My only suggestion is to replace the two top drawers that have the false front appearing to be four drawers with actually four drawers to have more storage space. Overall this is the most pleasing Sauder product I've purchased.

After reading the reviews, the negative were on how hard it was to assemble. Some said it took two days. I decided to time myself. Took me an hour and 11 minutes to assemble. Directions were clear and easy to follow. The desk looks great in my home office and is the perfect size. For the money, you can't go wrong. Desk was heavy (shows weight in the description) so you will need two people to bring in or, open the box and bring in piece by piece. I think some or most of the negative reviews are from people who just don't have any idea what their doing. I don't thing this Desk deserves the negative review because of that. If you are unable to turn a screw driver, don't buy the Desk. Great desk, I love it, easy to assemble if you have some knowledge.

they ain't lyin', it's a bitch to put together, it took the better part of a day. and it's heavy as can be, you need two strong people to carry it. very sturdy, looks nice.

When reading the reviews, I thought to myself, "my husband is a whiz at putting together furniture and following the rules step by step. This might take time, but we got this!" WRONG. This birthday present turned out to be a nightmare. The desk is 200 pounds or so = HEAVY. We knew that. The delivery people will NOT bring it into the house, you have to do that. Okay. So we brought it in piece by piece. Then we followed the 29 steps of directions only to find out that the legs do not attach to the body of the desk...? It's not even that these directions are terrible, the hardware was sub-par and there was not enough hardware to make the desk become...well, a desk. We're talking to the company now about refunds, but PLEASE save your money and time. Buy something else. Update: After going back and forth with the selling company and discussing the $890 shipping it would cost to return the desk, we filed our claim with Amazon who finally took care of us after I schlepped the 200 pound desk to UPS and everyone told me to throw out the desk. I really wish this had been a positive experience. The element that was positive is that Amazon took care of us. I'm actually shocked they still sell this product, Nevertheless, don't waste your precious time and energy on this back breaking fiasco.

This afternoon, we received and assembled our new desk, and the investment of time in putting it together was absolutely worthwhile. The desk stands out for its remarkable solidity, boasting a spacious surface area that caters perfectly to our needs. The drawers, impressively roomy, provide excellent storage solutions. The overall quality of the desk is exceptional, offering a high standard that is truly reflected in its value. I wholeheartedly recommend this desk to others seeking a durable, well-crafted, and spacious addition to their workspace. It has exceeded our expectations in terms of both design and functionality.

this was a beast to put together but after all is done, it looks wonderful. great quality and lots of surface space. Love that the keyboard and mouse hide in the middle drawer and have a hole behind the drawer for those using wired keyboard and mouse, to extend to the cpu. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but think it's a novel idea. also there's a hole in the top of the desk for wires to go down to the floor. I personally prefer the wires to be behind the desk so it's easier to hide them, but great to have the option depending upon your preference.
