Perfect! Was looking for a white graceful writing desk for my home-based practice and this was just what I was looking for. My husband put it together easily. I only wish it were antique white to match the furniture in the room rather than pure white, but at this price am very happy with the desk!.

This desk was purchased for a temporary office space. While it was affordable, it arrived in a box that was not very well packed and the desk was broken in several different places. I barely got the box open before it was evident that it needed to be returned.

Thank you for this feedback. We take every post, positive or critical, seriously. While we absolutely do not question the validity of your claim we're perplexed since all packaging is thoroughly tested by an independent and internationally recognized testing laboratory. Moreover, overall feedback and ratings for this desk have been favorable. While not our intention to pass blame we believe the carton may have been severely mishandled in transit. Nevertheless, it should have been able to endure the most adverse treatment. We sincerely apologize for your unfortunate experience and disappointment and are happy to learn you took advantage of the return privilege. We feel very comfortable inviting you to order another desk but certainly understand any reservations you may have. Again, our apologies. SouthernEnterprises

Arrived quickly and was super easy to put together. I love the height of it as I am using it for a sewing table for my machine. My only disappointment was that there was a slight chip in the paint in the front but it really is no big deal not worth making a fuss over as it is in a quilting room and

This a great little desk. I have never ever put anything together but was able to do this one all by myself. It was just adding the legs. Everything else was in place. I got it for my tween daughter for homework and computer time. It isn't too big nor is it too small for a child's room.

I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my sister and it was perfect! She said it took her about half an hour to set it up. It’s big enough to set up a vanity mirror with makeup around the edges and still have enough space to sit down and write or do your makeup. Best purchase ever.

Simple desk at decent price
We were looking for a basic desk for my tween's room for homework and her sewing machine. The desktop comes preassembled, so all you have to do is attach the four legs. The drawers are the only negative in my book as they lack guides or rollers. It's perfect for homework and seems to withstand the vibrations of the sewing machine just fine so it's fairly stable. We plan to change out the drawer knobs with more decorative ones.

Nice Small Writing Desk
This is a very nice small writing desk. I needed it for an alcove in a small bedroom and it works perfectly. It arrived quickly from Home Depot. It was packed securely. Nothing was moving in this box. The desk came in good condition. It went together quickly. My only complaint is that the legs of the desk could have used a little more paint. I am going to change out the knobs on the drawers. For what I paid for the desk the knobs were pretty pathetic. All in all, the price was OK. I saw the same desk on other sites for more money. Home Depot had the best price. There was a big debate about the color on all the other sites. This desk is pure white in color.

Just what I needed
Easy to assemble. Fit my space perfectly. Light enough to move if I need to. The black matches my furniture. Would by it again.

The perfect little desk!
I so wanted to get rid of my huge desk and hutch made of flaking particle board, and this pretty little desk was just the thing. It's graceful and the top is roomy, and I was forced to go through piles of stuff I'd kept in the old desk. I replaced the white wooden knobs with rubbed bronze ones from Home Depot and now it goes beautifully with the wall of bookcases we bought from Ikea. Great purchase!

Better Than Expected
A sturdy item, much more so than I imagined it would be. Looks good, too. My son uses it for homework and he likes it.

      Nice, simple desk
      This is a nice little desk. My 13-year old daughter loves it. It is sturdy enough and I think a good deal for the price. Very easy to assemble.

      Great desk, great value
      I'm very pleased with this purchase! The desk is sturdy and clean and looks just like the pictures. Easy assembly, and I haven't had any issues yet. My brother did point out when he was reading through the instructions that it can't support more than 40lbs of weight, which seems a little low to me, but otherwise it's a lovely desk.

      one of the legs won't screw on
      Great desk. But it came a bit deformed on the left front side of the table. They must have not measured it well but the leg won't screw on. And I have no time to deal with costumer care so for the next week I have a 3 legged joe!
