The beechwood is solid wood, quite beautiful (needs oil polish to preserve), and somewhat heavy for the size of the item.For anyone wanting yet another piece of furniture, but has space constraints, the Winsome Wood Foldable Desk is an ideal choice.
The surface comfortably holds my laptop, a lamp, various desk items, and has space to spare on one side or the other for papers. It folds up easily when I need to slip it out of the way.
The major detraction here is the keyboard shelf. If you like to do anything with your legs/knees other than sit in the prim and proper upright position at the desk, then you're in trouble. Removing the shelf is the simple solution, but since it does aid with the stability of the desk, the desk is a wee bit wobbly without it.
A side note: Winsome Wood is a name I've known since I was very young. It has a great deal of quality credibility attached to it. And while this desk is all wood and functional, I would have expected something of slightly higher quality given the name. However, I did only pay about $100 for it, so I'm not really complaining.
I tend to travel and move a lot and so this desk is perfect for me.
It can fold up and fit in my trunk (along with my folding bookshelves).
It is relatively light weight, and yet sturdy (as long as you keep the
keyboard tray in it). Oh, and it looks beautiful.
This desk is so easy to put together. It is very sturdy, not to big, not to small and looks good in the room.
The part that slides out and holds the keyboard has metal corners just
at the right height for my kids to whack their heads accidentally as
they pass by (eta or when they come up to me and practice their newfound
jumping skills, as my daughter did 5 minutes ago). And the tray also
falls off regularly. I gave two stars simply because it is made of real
wood. But other than that, it's a pile of fail. I'll have to put some
double-sided tape on it covered with plain to make it safer.
I bought this desk for use with my small Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)
setup, centered around a 17-inch MacBook Pro on the desktop, with
monitor speakers on either side on foam risers. The interface is in
front of the right monitor (I'm right handed) and my headphones stay
parked in front of the left. To use my 49-key MIDI keyboard on the
computer keyboard shelf, I relocated the drawer slides 5/8" lower. This
put the the top of the white keys right at 27 inches up from the floor
and the bottom of the keyboard shelf at 24 inches up. Even with my
office chair at the highest setting, I still have an inch or so between
the shelf and my legs. The desk top is about 29-1/2 inches up from the
floor.
The solid wood quality and beauty of this desk far exceeds that of the vinyl contact paper over sawdust wood furniture you pay almost as much for. The strips in the "butcher block" top and keyboard shelf are constructed of shorter (than full length) pieces spliced with very well done finger joints.
Assembly was a piece of cake. The four screws are not at all hard to drive in if you hold the long side of the allen wrench instead of the short side, and turn the screw 120ยบ or so each time. You also don't fully tighten any of the screws until they're all in 90-95%. This keeps them from binding. Those with low hand strength might also remember to drag the threads of a wood screw across a bar of soap before driving it. I hope this helps. Not the same quality I bought 10 years ago. I just wanted to match my Mission style shelves, but it was a disappointment. The wood and craftsmanship are inferior. I bought Foldable 4-Tier Shelf, Foldable Cart and Foldable desk. I kept the first two, but the desk was so bad, huge pieces of broken wood were patched with the wood filler on top and the bottom of the table, I had to return it. I don't recommend this product. This item is surprisingly flimsy. The instructions direct you to build the product upside down, which I did. While flipping it back over after building it, I did not exercise extreme caution and one of the flimsy legs cracked. The desk is still usable, but I was disappointed
The list price of $199 is absurd. I'm now thinking that $99 is a bit much to ask for it as well. It's seriously just a few bits of finished wood attached together.
The product came packaged with large sheets of styrofoam around it. I understand that the product needs protection during shipping, but the styrofoam is the obnoxious kind that crumbles into thousands of little foam bits. Annoying and messy. Arrived very quickly but unforfunately it was also broken. I look forward to hearing back from the company as the size and quality (other than all the broken dowels on the left hand side of the desk) are exactly what I was looking for. The packing showed no rough handling, was very adequate, and all the hardware components (four screws and an allen wrench) were sucure in the box, so I was pretty surprised to find it broken inside. We'll see how the company handles this situation, I used their "Contact Us" link on their home page to notify them of the damage. I'll post a follow-up (if that is possible???)
