should i buy Sauder Computer Desk reviews

Slide-out keyboard/mouse shelf with metal runners and safety stops. Storage area behind door holds vertical CPU tower and has an adjustable shelf. Two drawers with metal runners and safety stops; file drawer holds letter or European size hanging files. Desk top grommet hole for electrical cord access. Quick and easy assembly with patented T-slot drawer assembly. Brushed Maple finish. This is a great desk. I ordered it for my husband to use in his home office at our new home. Sadly, a similar one (also from Sauder) which was already assembled and used for many years, would not fit through the door of the office we were using at a temporary location. The movers (grrrr...) refused to disassemble it and abandoned it in our back yard. We immediately had a rain storm (of course). Everything else & all our boxes were inside, safe and dry, but the desk was ruined. The Sauder products come with clear, detailed instructions for assembly, and once assembled will last longer than you will, probably, but just don't let them get wet. It stayed outside and eventually just fell apart. I tried to keep it covered w/ an old shower curtain liner, but it always blew off w/ the wind. Hurricane Irene did it in!

So, after we got settled at our new address, my husband was still desk-less. The desk was shipped quickly (unassembled, of course) and the delivery man left it leaning against the side of our house. The thing was sooooo heavy that my husband and I had to carefully "walk" the box into the house. It was really too heavy for us to lift, so unless you're a weight-lifter, don't plan on tackling this by yourself. You might want to borrow a hand truck and enlist the help of a neighbor if you live alone.

We managed to get it inside and my husband assembled it. There are lots of different screws, etc, and the process was made easier by following the instructions to sort all the various pieces of hardware by type FIRST, before doing anything else. He used a clear tackle box for sorting the hardware. It made the task of assembly go much smoother.

This desk arrived quickly, the box was very heavy and my husband doesn't like putting things together so I had to do it myself. I've been searching for a desk for a while but haven't been able to find anything that matches my style. Most of the desks I really liked were over $1,000 and the cheaper ones were ugly looking. I love how modern this desk looks and how practical it is. This desk is stylish but extremely affordable. I was concerned that the price would mean that the product would be flimsy but it is not. It did take about 3 hours to assemble by myself. I think if my husband could've helped me, it would've taken half the time. The instructions that came with the product were awesome. I hate when the instructions are just pictures with no explanation. These instructions actually had video online you could watch, though I didn't use that feature. The one thing I love about this desk is it's color and the straight lines lines. I struggled with some parts of the assembly like getting the drawers on straight so they lined up together. I had to redo that a few times. The instructions said not to use an electrical drill but I did anyway and I think it was fine. The desk looks much smaller in the picture and it was larger than expected. The top has a lot of room and now our printer is on the desk, when before we had to put it on a small table beside our other desk. This is the best desk! Buy it but set aside a lot of time to put it together and really follow the instructions carefully.

Parts do not fit perfectly. Easy to scratch. Relatively small opening for the cables in the back of the PC case compartment. Otherwise a good product for the price we paid.
