My only complaints would be the following: 1) While assembly was relatively easy, I did need my husband to help with the construction of the raised platform, simply because a second pair of hands was needed due to the slightly awkward arrangement. 2) I prefer to type with my hands on the keyboard while the keyboard drawer is not pulled out. I can't do this with this desk simply because the keyboard drawer is too close against the desk.
My desk was missing one piece (the washer for the bottom door) but once I reported this to the seller, I received the missing piece within the next week. Excellent customer service!
Overall, I think this desk is a great buy as long as you are expecting a dark desk with smaller features. I love it! Nice piece of furniture for the price. Assembly was pretty straightforward, took one person.
However, once put together, I notice the corners are a little sharp, so I have to be careful when my baby tries to reach for things kept on it. Otherwise, very satisfied.

I recently saw the exact same desk in a different color at Walmart for half the price! :( I can't believe this desk is so cheaply priced. It is a quality piece of furniture and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Arrived quickly and undamaged and went together easily :) The Sauder Office Beginnings Wood Computer Desk has a cinnamon cherry finish. It has an elevated monitor/printer shelf, slide out keyboard/mouse shelf, storage space for a CPU tower, and hidden storage behind a door.
At first the Sauder Office Beginnings Wood Computer Desk might seem a bit small but it is a perfect size for a home office, small bedroom, dorm rooms - basically any small space (I keep it in a small spare bedroom that we use as a home office). The CPU tower fits perfectly into the space provided and I like the fact that it is off the floor especially since I have two cats with fur that seems to get into everything. The storage space with door is surprisingly roomy - I can store a lot of things there including computer paper, books, and CDs. There is an additional shelf that can be used for a printer or anything else you want to put there -for a small desk there is a lot of storage space! The keyboard/mouse shelf seems a bit flimsy but slides in quite nicely. The cherry finish is nice and fits in with the rest of the decor in my house. Although the desk small it takes some time to assemble it - it took my brother about five hours to put it together. The instructions were detailed - it just was a time-consuming project but worth it in the end.Arrived quickly; no damaged or missing parts. Easy, fast assemble if you follow the instructions. Accurate hole alignment. Sturdy and sized well for its intended purpose--complete desktop computer workstation (unless you have a scanner or large all-in-one printer), with adequate keyboard, mouse, and workspace in a compact package. The keyboard drawer slides in and out easily. The simulated wood finish is obviously not fine furniture but it looks OK from across a room. Wouldn't expect the unit to hold up to abuse but it should last a long time with reasonable care and its intended use.
Two complaints: 1) the keyboard drawer doesn't lock into its out position (suspect that is common in this price range). 2). The color is nothing like the description and picture. The product description called the color Maple while the product name called it Pecan and the picture shows a lightish color wood. The unit came labeled Pecan but the actual color is a very dark brown, closer to Dark Walnut. The packaging for this product was fantastic. It was shipped with each edge of the box reinforced as well as being wrapped in a more durable, heavy duty plastic wrap.
The product itself is of high quality. Nice color, nice weight to the boards/parts of the desk. It went together in about 20 minutes and fits perfectly in a nook in my apartment. If you are looking for a small computer desk, this is an excellent option.This desk is really cool, it didn't take long to put together the only things are the corners are a little sharp and it is a little darker color than i expected, but it is really small and can fit almost anywhere. I think this is a quality item and I would recommend this for someone looking for a nice compact desk that is quick to put together!! Exactly as promised and easy to put together. Only time will tell, of course, but so far I am very much in love with this piece! My only small complaint would be that some of the screw covers didn't go on as well as I'd hoped -- would actually have preferred stickers to the push-in ones. I bought the lighter Pecan version of this at the local home improvement store when it was on sale for less than 2/3 of the price listed here. Over the years I've become an expert at build-it-yourself furniture, so the assembly was very straightforward except for the elevated shelf. It helped to have a couple of pieces of styrofoam to balance things out when assembling it. The unit is very sturdy once it is together and had enough room to hold my Canon scanner on the elevated shelf.
In my opinion the best thing about this desk is the keyboard shelf that locks in place so it doesn't slide all over the place as you are typing. I can't tell you how many other computer desks I have had that were so aggravating because they did not have this feature. I would definitely recommend this desk to anyone who needs a computer desk for a smaller space. This one replaced my Z-Line Pacific Compact Computer desk in less space, for less money and in a much better configuration.
