"I wanted to have a tiny home office in my living room and thought a secretary's desk would be the best solution. I am incredibly happy with this product: it looks nice (I have it in black), has worn well, and is sturdy. The only complaint was that the packaging is HEAVY; this speaks well to the overall quality, but makes it a pain for moving it to where you want to put it together."

Great item, Somewhat difficult assembly
Date:June 7, 2013
"Common sense needs to prevail when assembling. Instructions are a good guide but if you are not looking ahead you will have to loosen some of the assembly to accomplish the next step. Otherwise great item, sturdy and visually pleasing."

Very Happy!!
Date:May 7, 2013
"It came very quick and intact with very sturdy wood. I had read most of the reviews and they said the same things. It took me and my husband 3 hours with only 1 complication which was the sliders for the drawers!! Just had to line the holes up on the right sides:) My husband always says its a true test of marriage putting stuff together like this!! We survived and I know you can too! Just take your time and it will come out great!! The only worry would be the screws are very small and the product is very heavy. But it will take time to see if there will be a problem with that."

Oxford Tall Secretary Desk
Date:April 11, 2013
"I am very pleased with this purchase. It was shipped fast. The desk was slightly difficult to assemble, but not more so that any other piece of furniture of this nature. It is incredibly functional and just what I was looking for."

Great product for a small office space
Date:April 6, 2013
"It took my husband a couple of days to assemble, and was very frustrating for him...needed to saw an edge for a match up of a panel, as well as redrill a few holes. However, once assembled, it looks great and is very practical for what we wanted it for."

Great desk, but check the size of your monitor!
Date:March 6, 2013
"I love the desk, it has everything we were looking for- file drawers, mail slots, and a door to close so the baby cannot get to the computer. However we have a large IMac monitor and while I measured the width before ordering and knew that would be fine the height was a different story. Luckily my husband is handy and was able to adjust the mail slots up higher by drilling new holes. So it was a little extra work. Just thankful we were able to use it once it was put together!!"

Solid Piece of Furniture
Date:February 25, 2013
"This unit was not the easiest to assemble but that was mostly due to the weight.As it was assembled i noted a few spider cracks in the partical board but it wasnt anything that would impact structure or appearance. Do yourself a favor and keep your area organized. make sure your shelves are right side up and your using the correct screws. Keep a blanket or something you can use to slide the desk to the room/ area you need. Its very bulky and cumbersome to move once assembled, even with 2 people. You will also need a second person when attaching the back panel because this levels out your gaps around drawers (one person to tack and one to eyeball openings)."

Wonderful Desk!!!!
Date:February 5, 2013
"The desk is perfect! It took my husband about 2 hours to put together! Very easy directions. We find the desk to be sturdy. We thought it might be a little taller than described, but actually works out better. It's perfect for our spare bedroom, where we wanted a desk/storage area! I would absolutely recommend this desk to all. I also love this site, and the deals that come our way!"

Very Nice

"We bought this for a home office. Assembly went fairly easy except for the mail slots at the top. Even that went with only a moderate stuggle. It fits nicely into a small area of the room and does a good job as a work station."

Great piece of furniture
Date:January 18, 2013
"We needed a place to store a new computer. This desk was the perfect choice. It was easier to put together than I anticipated, even if it did take about 4 hours. It looks great and has a lot of storage space. I would strongly recommend it."

Made in China
Date:December 31, 2012
"It was a lot to put together. 2 boxes and lots of parts. I used wood glue to give it more stability. The drawer guides on one of the drawers did not line up with any holes. The other drawer matched nicely. I did my own hole drilling in the drawer to get the guide to line up. The cam/pin assembly grabs the pin yet it puts so much torque on the wood pieces that they bubble outward. I had that happen to 2 of the pin assemblies. The unit suits my purpose and it seems to be working out. I would like to say it was worth close to 500.00 but it is not. It would be better if it was 300.00 plus shipping. The novice homeowner will not like that this is not simplistic to put together and that you may need to be able to make your own predrilled holes to put it together. Build quality lacking."

"We bought this desk for my daughters first apartment, she needed something small that wouldn't show clutter, so this was perfect! My husband & I were so surprised as to how nice it is! Wasn't really that hard to put together, it is very sturdy & it is great! Got it for a great price on sale, wish I had bought one for myself!"

OK for the price
Date:June 21, 2012
"For the price, this item is OK. I've purchased a lot of different pieces from HDC but have been much happier with the others. This piece isn't nearly as sturdy as I expected but it's OK for what I need. I marked that I would recommend it to a friend. However, I would certainly have that friend come over to my house to look at it first."

nice little desk
Date:June 20, 2012
"I purchased this to fit in a tight space in my kitchen/eat in area. The fit is perfect and the look is very nice. The pieces are a bit heavy for 1 person to assemble on their own. Ultimately, you will need 2 people to put the entire piece together and to move it to the desired location, however, 1 person can put MOST of it together. There are a lot of pieces but the instructions were thorough and complete. I had a couple hardware issues, but sent an email to HDC and they are sending new pieces. Overall, I am pleased with the piece, it holds what I wanted it to hold and looks nice with the rest of the decor."

inferior parts
Date:June 19, 2012
"The connectors and screws are insufficient for use, the break easily and warp under medium pressure. The screws stripped easily and are unable to be removed du to cheap metal. Some of the pieces of desk were too long for assembly and had to be hand cut by me (the assembler)."

Good Find - Great Price
Date:June 19, 2012
"I think this was a very good find and it fit perfectly in an area in my house that I consider primarily a breakfast area. The computer fits well inside and the construction is very good. It takes about 3 hours to put together because the instructions are a little tough to figure out. The overall quality is there for the price and it looks great where we put it. I would recommend it, but be careful when you put it together - don't force pieces together because they can puncture and break easily with too much force."
