SauderBeginnings Desk, W: 46.93" x D: 18.58" x H: 29.96", Cinnamon Cherry finish

All the negative reviews point to either damaged product via shipping or those that lack basic skills with a screw driver/ hammer, or following the directions. This product came in excellent packaging, the directions were easy to follow, and you literally just need a hammer for one step, the rest require a screw driver. Assembly took almost an hour working at a comfortable pace and a couple beers.The keyboard tray might be a little low if your taller, or have a computer desk with arm rests. Serious gamers will most likely set keyboard on top of the desk anyway. As for a moderate use desk that will look great, take up little space, this product is perfect. I myself am a casual gamer, web surfer and it works perfect for me. I am 6'2" and have no complaints as I store my keyboard and mouse in the keyboard tray when not in use. Less clutter keeps the wife happy and me off the couch ;)So if your in doubt here are some facts about the product.You can fit multiple monitors, huge PC's might not fit in cabinet, arm rests will most likely interfere with keyboard tray, again I put mine on top of desk, and store it when not in use. You will most likely have to adjust the horizontal and vertical screws on cabinet door for perfect alignment, and the instructions are easy to follow. Take your time and separate all the hardware, layout the wood pieces and just stay organized.

The desk is nice and sturdy enough but just a fair warning: it takes a long time to assemble. I say this as someone who always assembles any furniture I buy, this took a few hours longer than expected. And although I like the final outcome, I can't give it 5 stars because there was a metal bracket missing. I know that's not the most essential piece but I would simply suggest going through ALL the parts and pieces before beginning to assemble to ensure you have everything you need.I do like that the shelf in the cabinet is optional; I opted out as to have bigger spacing for my PC. Other than that, desk seems alright for now.

For the price, the desk is super good! Any parts that may "break" (screw holes) over time or even arrive dinged, Sauder will immediately replace no questions ask. Beyond one major ding in shipping and one screw hole which was admittedly MY screw up, I've had no issues with this desk or this company. The only thing worth noting is that the handles on this desk are not metal in the slightest but matte grey, glossy plastic, but again for the price, I can't complain.

Sauder makes outstanding furniture. This desk is no different. It's easy to assemble. I put this together a few years ago in less than an hour and I'm no carpenter. The desk is still holding up well years later. The directions are straight forward. The finish is classic. The wood is particle board but good quality none the less. Sauder has outstanding customer service so if a piece is missing or something is wrong they are on it right away. This beginnings desk is priced reasonable for the quality it delivers. This is a good buy. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

Let me start off by saying that who ever came up with the idea of making furniture from saw dust, wood scraps and glue is brilliant. Low cost production(your using trash) and if there is a mistake, you can just grind it up and start over. On to the desk, it is functional, the laminate/veneer looks nice and it seems like if you keep it dry and don't ever move or scoot it, it may last awhile. On to the bad, it is very cheap and made from saw dust, wood scraps, glue and a laminate/veneer finish. It would probably not survive a drink being spilled on it or a move once it has been setting for a bit. I probably wouldn't put very much weight on it either. Overall not terrible and not great either.

I really like this product! I assembled it myself with a screwdriver and a hammer and I'm not a builder, so assembling it yourself is more worth it. The instructions are really well written. And even when/if you build it, it's very sturdy and firm. I got the summer oak finish, and it did make my room smell for a day or two but it'll go away. This desk also provides a good amount of space for organization. I totally recommend!

This is a good desk for the price, assembly was very easy and quick. I wish It had a little bit more storage, but I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I am pleased with the purchase.

Great value! I purchased this desk to be used in my bedroom. What attracted me to it was the Sander name; the price; and that it was not as deep as other similar type desks. At 68 years old, I was able to assemble it in my bedroom with ease even though it is very heavy. Sturdy construction with dowels and screws. I love the color as it reminds me of driftwood in my ocean themed bedroom. The only slight drawback is that the little vinyl stickers that cover the screws will not stay on. I can live with that since the desk gets more than five stars from me in all other areas.

great desk. easy to assemble. feels very sturdy. 5 stars.

It's great for my needs.The assemble took a little longer then I thought. Then door hinge came off

Il ne faut pas oublier qu'il faut le construire la tête en bas

When the table came in, it was covered in a lot of dust and parts of the desk was chipping off. I expected a nicer looking desk, especially when I paid over $100 dollars for it. My advice is to go to IKEA instead of here if you need a desk

Cheaply made. All edges are very sharp .Lots of assembly required.
