Bush Furniture Cabot L Shaped Computer Desk in Modern Gray | Corner Table with Drawers and Storage for Personal Home Office Workspace

I bought this desk because I am working from home and need a lot of space for these monitors, which are each 20 inches, for the perspective. I am very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend this desk. Here is my feedback:PROS:- The finish is very pretty. I got the Harvest Cherry. It's not "wood", don't expect wood and you won't be disappointed.. this is particle board that has a finish, but it's a nice finish. You do want to be careful not to chip or scratch it, but it's not made of glass. I am honestly glad it is not real wood because this desk is very heavy already.- It has enough space to hold everything I need it to hold. Two 20-inch monitors, two laptops, some odds and ends, keyboard, mouse, etc. One of the sides is a little bit wider than the other (the side with the cabinet), just an FYI. The cabinet can fit a standing CPU or you can use it for whatever.- It's not too big and not too small for a space... It's a good-sized desk to have to sit at all day.- It looks exactly as advertised. No surprises.- I thought the glass in the cabinet looked a little cheesy in the advertisement but I wanted the desk anyway; in actuality the cabinet is pretty nice. I thought there were colored bars in the glass in the picture but it's actually just how they cut/designed the glass itself and that's how it looks when it's photographed. The quality is nice.CONS:- Okay, let's talk about this assembly -- there are 31 steps and some of them have these mini-steps. It WILL. take. A GOOD FEW HOURS. (Like maybe 4 hours) ... Do not underestimate this. It is not terribly difficult, you don't need to be a rocket scientist, but this is not a walk in the park. You CAN do it using only a screwdriver but my hand is in paaain now; a power screwdriver might really help as some other reviews have said. You have to screw in like 300 THINGS. :O D: The finished product is worth it though. My hand needs a spa day now but I am chilling at my nice new pretty desk lol. --- I did have to take a break and come back to it...- Guys, seriously, it's a whole carpentry project. You will need a screwdriver, a hammer, and some wood glue. The wood glue is for the dowels but the finished assembly will not be "relying" on the glue as it will be held in by other pieces; it's just very good measure and helps a lot during the process. I thought about it after-the-fact and would really not recommend skipping the glue, avoid the temptation if you don't have any and go get some lol. Be careful not to lose these little nails, it comes with the exact amount of things you need and it's a LOT of little screws and metal pieces. The good thing is the instructions are not hard to follow at all, everything is clearly labeled .... make sure you look closely at the drawings and pay attention when it says "finished side up" etc so you know your pieces are in the right orientation. On two steps it will direct you to watch a video to help, which is nice.- This phone holder shelf thing is kind of pointless. It would have been better if it were a real shelf... it won't fit many people's phones and I think it will be more convenient just to charge my phone and not have to string all these cords through to that part. But I don't mind it, it's not bothersome to me, it doesn't look ugly... I just doubt anyone is really using that feature. Maybe I'll just put my phone in it to prevent losing it. *shrug* So the desk has a little quirk. Probably everyone who ever sees your desk will be like "what's this part for" and you'll be like "I am not really sure" ..- You CAN put it together yourself, but it would be WAY. EASIER. with a helper (and the instructions say that you need one on four or five steps). If you do it yourself, you will have to use some boxes or something to hold parts up at times. I really do not recommend putting it together by yourself unless you have to. . ... Particularly the step where you put the big heavy slab on top and you need to make sure 22 bolts line up with 22 holes omg... I was SWEATING. (I am a 5' 3" woman, for the perspective... maybe if you're a big strappy dude it won't be a problem)... CAN it be done alone? Yes. But it's not made to be put together alone so please be careful not to hurt yourself. If you are strong enough to lift and install one of those older heavy window air conditioning units on your own, you can probably do this. If you are not, don't even try this, please get a friend; with a buddy it's probably a piece of cake.All in all, I REALLY like this desk. It was worth the assembly and the time. I am very happy with it.

Overall:We have no complaints about this desk. It is about on par or slightly better than IKEA's upper-middle line: particle board with the veneer over it, but it doesn't feel cheap and flaky, nor does it smell of glue. Building this was an easy task for my husband and I, and I was 5 months pregnant at the time (no heavy lifting for me, but that didn't negatively affect the building process). The only time we had some difficulty was getting the glass door hinges adjusted properly for the door to close without rubbing. I think we over complicated that on our own, though, because we took the hinge apart before trying it at the default tightest setting, which ended up being the right one. Also, when attaching the veneered backing, the nails have screw heads. I think this is because it offers a more finished look, but it was super confusing when we couldn't screw them in. Of course, the instructions show using a hammer, but when you pick up a slightly threaded fastener with a screw head, it is natural to assume it is a screw, not a nail.Every single piece in this set is clearly labeled. All of the hardware and fixtures were labeled and present in proper number as well. Any of the labels are easily peeled off if some of them end up being visible. The instructions are very clear and well-labeled. The only time we had any confusion over the instructions was when we were building the drawers and had were supposed to have not reattached the runners to the drawer mechanism already in the cabinet (they were supposed to be attached to the drawers and then slid back on). Not a big deal! We realized our mistake and remedied it within two minutes.If you've ever built IKEA furniture, this is a walk in the park in comparison. Any reasonable adult or adolescent should be able to build this piece with little difficulty, though it is definitely a two-person job at times.Tools needed:We used a cordless drill with the clutch helping us keep at a slow speed, but a screw driver would have worked fine.Regular claw hammeroptional: rubber mallet for tacking in the included plastic floor protectorsoptional: wood glue to secure wooden pegsBuilding time:I am not exactly sure how long it took, but we accomplished it in an afternoon. I think it was around 4 hours working at a leisurely pace. We unpacked both boxes, grouping like pieces together in our hallway for easy access, put the baggies of various sized screws/pegs/etc in numerical order, and then built on a beach towel to prevent scratching of our wood floors or new desk.Packaging note:This product comes in two (heavy) boxes. The boxes are stapled and glued shut, and then are lined with Styrofoam inside. Small boxes (often housing the bags of hardware) or pieces of styrofoam are used to keep the pieces from sliding around. I was impressed with how well this was packaged! However...at one point in shipping, one of our boxes had been dropped and was delivered in an obviously "exploded" fashion. Fortunately, nothing was missing or damaged, and this is not an Amazon problem. But, I think it is worth noting for both the positive and negative implications: these boxes can survive a beating, but be sure to count and check your pieces right away for damage if you get a damaged box.End result:My husband has his two 23" monitors on one arm of the desk along with his two speakers, keyboard, and mouse; his computer is in the corner (he has a LAN computer with a case shaped like a milk crate...it isn't going to fit in any standard CPU cabinet, so we put the serge protector, wireless router, and modem in the cabinet); and a printer in line with the drawers on the other arm of the desk. It is a tighter fit than we had hoped, but, it is comfortable, and there is some room on the drawer-side arm for a laptop to sit, or some snacks, or just to have some basic elbow room. We haven't had any scratching or damage in the past couple of weeks of use. Will update if anything bad happens. :)

Awesome desk absolutely love it for gaming great leg room, sturdy, and room for my cat underneath. Loads of holes for wiring, and the filing cabinet is a great snack drawer lmao The only bad thing is that one of the top desk pieces was cut backwards so the screw holes were placed on the wrong sides which forced me to place it backwards, causing one side of my desk edge to be white instead of walnut. That was my only problem though and a little wood stain fixes it so idc that much. Fantastic desk. Buy it.

LOVE. THIS. DESK. No issues with assembly. Lots of different places for storing items. Lots of table top space. Great use for a teacher space. Totally worth the cost!!
