should i buy Winsome Wood Computer Desk, Honey reviews

These days, home offices are often as busy as their corporate counterparts--and they need to be equally efficient and organized. Winsome Wood offers a line of modular furniture to supply just that while also presenting a clean, inviting style that blends well with domestic décors. This solid/composite wood computer desk features a large, open workspace accompanied by a pullout keyboard that stows behind the faux drawer front. The Honey finish is warm and casual, and the slender legs keep the overall look light and airy. Add the writing desk, corner table, printer stand, file cabinet, and bookshelf to customize any space. This desk measures 42 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 29 inches high. Assembly is required. After reading the June 8, 2007 review, I was worried about the quality of packaging. When this desk arrived at my front door, I saw that my fears were justified. The package was compact, leaving little room for protective material like bubble wrap. Careless handling might have caused some damage. Fortunately, my desk arrived in perfect condition. The legs, desk top, and keyboard tray were all wrapped to protect against scratches.

This is one of the few products not made in China. It was made in Thailand.

The wrench needed to attach the legs was included, and I used my Phillips screwdriver to screw on the front knob. The magnets are too powerful, making it difficult to pull open the keyboard compartment. I solved that problem by placing four pieces of transparent packing tape over the magnets. All told, including the taping, assembly took me around 40 minutes.

The legs, tray and desk top are all made of beautifully finished solid hardwood with a reddish blonde color. The tray slides in and out smoothly. The style is a bit plain and unadorned, but the quality and functionality are excellent. I'm very pleased with this purchase, especially because the modest price of $130 included free shipping.I bought this desk because I wanted a simple desk that matched the color of my kitchen table. It really is what it is, simple. The design is simple, the assembly is simple. That's not a hit against it because if that's not what you're looking for obviously you wouldn't be looking at this desk.

Anyway, there isn't much to say about it, it's put together well, and it's solid after it's assembled.

As far as the packaging goes, the other people that have reviewed this are spot on correct. The packaging looks like something you'd get from a table you bought at Wal-Mart. This is fine when all you have to do is run it from the store to your house, but it's really inadequate for cross country shipping. There isn't enough give in the packaging to be very forgiving of any mishandling. Luckily mine showed up just fine, but keep that in mind when you order one of these.

Love the desk! Good quality and the only assembly required was putting the legs on. Even the sliding keyboard tray had the "rolling tracks" already together. Highly recommended!

I was a bit sceptical to order this based on some of the reviews but I am glad I did. This desk is solid wood and very nice looking. The desk holds my computer, and printer with room to work. There is also no wobbling at all, this desk is solid and will last. It was fairly easy to put together.

I also ordered the printer stand and the file cabinet to match the set. They all look great although the printer stand did need to be shipped back and amazon sent a new one because their was a large black mark in the wood on the front. Amazon has excellent customer service so this was not much of a problem just a delay in setting everything up.

The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is because I did end up replacing the knobs on the front of the drawers but that was because of personal taste. I wanted to break up the honey color finish so I used bronze colored knobs which look very nice and did the trick. Also, the finish has an orange color to it so if that would not work with your decor you may want to think twice before ordering. However, the wood grain is lovely and I would definately order this again for the quality and price! The desk is a good size, and sturdy. I use it for a laptop on a stand and an external display. Then I have another desk for paper and writing.

However, one piece did arrive broken. Fortunately, it was some of the trim from the front, which I can live without. So in my case, I don't have the keyboard drawer cover installed. Small scale desk with big features. Keyboard drawer adds surface area and makes a narrow desk feel bigger. Great color and finish. Highly recommended. I have a small space to set up a laptop. The dimensions of this computer desk are perfect for a laptop. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse, so the keyboard drawer was a big plus. The height of the desk is great. The assembly was easy - the good stops there.

The top is made of laminated wood and the wood colors are markedly different with dovetails showing. The pre-assembled drawer does not align properly and the width of the drawer is too small and the slide-out drawer wants to drop - so I am going to have to shim the sides of the slide-out drawer track. Installing the shims is fairly easy. For the price, it's ok. I previously purchased a sofa table from Winsome Wood and it is perfect for the use I have for it and so I decided to puchase this desk to replace a ginormous 80's monstrosity. The first desk came damaged but I just sent it back, without drama, and got another one.The new one came faster. It took longer to move the computer on to it than to assemble it. I really like it. It fits perfectly in the new office space. I will consider Winsome Wood if I need any more furniture. I ordered this desk because it was reasonably priced, looked nice from what I could see on the computer, and it's size was perfect for the space I wanted to set up my home office. Desk was shipped and delivered in less than a week using Amazon's Free Shipping. Easy assembly: 8 bolts, 8 washers, and 8 lock type washers. 1 wooden handle for the keyboard drawer, and 1 screw for the handle. Assembly in 20 minutes. I would recommend this to my family and friends. I am moving from a big home to a cottage so I purchased this for my smallhome. I was so happy with product after my son got it together. Looks very nice and even my picky son said it looked well built. I am moving from a big home to a cottage so I purchased this for my smallhome.

I work from home and I just moved to a small apartment. I have an Ikea desk for my work PC and I wanted something for my personal PC. Only I just didn't want two desks next to each other. This table has almost the same dimensions as my work desk and is nice enough to dine on if I need table space.

I agree that the packaging could be a bit better. I had a little dent in the back that doesn't affect the workability of the table. For $119 you can't beat it. I could have spent a little less for a similar table at Ikea, but it would be pressboard versus wood with a lovely finish. Plus, I would have to put together more than just the legs.

I also bought a pair of matching Winsome chairs. Love those, too!
