Great,
sturdy desk for the price point!
Very good, sturdy desk for less than $300. It's all particle
board with a (almost certainly) fake veneer finish. If you know how to operate
a screw driver, you'll be able to put the desk together. I put it together
practically by myself (I had someone hand me the screws and such as well as
lift it to where I wanted it in my room because honestly I only lift weights
when I carry my groceries from the car to my apartment). I have a gaming PC,
two 24 inch monitors, mouse, and full sized keyboard sitting on the glass
cabinet portion of the L-shape and still have room for a drink, full sized
heasphones, and various wires. The desktop shows no signs of deformation under
that weight either. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that I place in the phone
cubby thing. It's a tight fit, but I can keep my phone off the desktop. My only
dislikes are that the veneer (the cherry, espresso, or gray) definitely shows
dings (I may have dropped my mechanical keyboard on it....... (; A ;)), the
drawers appear to sit slightly crooked and unaligned, and the drawer bottoms
are really dense cardboard or cardstock as opposed to a piece of wood. Besides
that, I love it. I'm also excited that it's part of a complete set. I'll
probably end up buying the matching hutch thing and fancy-looking filing
cabinet so I can get rid of one of my two dressers and a small bookshelf. Also,
I didn't install the back board for the cabinet and shelf (see pictures)
because I had already moved it into a position too close the wall to fit my
hands, nails, and a hammer between the desk and wall.
Great desks, great price.
See photo
Great desks for the price, nice and solid. Nice
cherry color, even though it's just laminate on particle board We purchased two
of these L-shaped desks and put them back to back to make a nice work station
with a large work surface to sprawl our papers, etc., out on, as you can see in
the attached photo. Our wall is 131" long, so the two 60" desks were
the largest size we could fit together this way but it works out nicely and
allows us easy access to the French doors to our balcony, which is to the right
of the photo. The black portal for wires is too small for our current Mac's
wires to run through so we set the Mac at a 45 degree angle which works fine
for me.
We considered getting a pair of Bush's more expensive 60" L-shaped desks but the Cabot collection is less heavy and less than half the price of the other set. I actually prefer the the look of the less bulky Cabot line. One word of caution: be careful with the laminate panels. We leaned one against the wall while assembling the unit and the laminate cracked. The cracked piece is up against the wall, though, so you can't see it.
So nice I bought it twice!
We have been using this desk for four months
now and LOVE it. We wanted a desk that would go in our second bedroom office
and fit our spacial needs but didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on an
expensive desk. This desk is GREAT. It took my husband and I about three hours
to put it together. It has not bowed or absorbed any condensation from cups
(although we try to be mindful and use coasters). The drawers are smooth and
the cabinet for the computer tower is a good size. We opted to leave the back
of the computer cabinet open though to prevent it from over heating. The only
drawback is that the charging station is kind of lame. It's at an awkward angle
so you can't use your phone while it's charging and just connects into the
computer
VERY HAPPY FOR THE PRICE
We moved into a new house, but unfortunately my
beautiful, albeit old executive desk, couldn't join us as it was destroyed in
the move. I work from home as a grant writer so I needed a new desk
desperately. I had my eyes set on the Carlyle Home Office Desk from Ashley
Furniture, but the cost was well over 1,500 (that's not including Shipping cost
either). With everything we've already spent furnishing the new house my
husband asked that we hold off and think about this particular purchase since
maybe he could find something more reasonably priced that was similar. I was
skeptical, but he actually found both the desk and the hutch on sale for a
total of $355.61 (Shipping and Tax included). Needless to say I thought that
the price for both items was very fair. Honestly, for this price I figured I
could research ways to extend its longevity until my husband felt comfortable
splurging on the desk I had originally wanted. Although after the extra steps
we went through to put this desk together we not only saved A LOT of money, but
now I don't even want to buy the other desk at Ashely Furniture anymore! With
me working from home and my husband being a computer engineer this desk has
been getting a lot of use and has held up to the task even shared by both of
us! Now to protect the desk from scratches from regular use we went to Lowes
and purchased 2 pieces of Duraplex brand plexiglass and had them cut to size.
The only tedious part was having to hand cut the opening for the cord and USB
hub. It's not hard, just tedious because you have to take your time with it. We
purchased the cheapest plastic cutting tool at Lowes and used small pliers to
cautiously snap off the pieces of plastic we scored. The total we spent at
Lowes for the 3 items was $70.24 (LA area 9% tax included). We also purchased a
basic underneath desk keyboard tray from Staples for $16.55 (LA area 9% tax included).
Overall for the grand total of $442.40 we've invested for this desk we couldn't
be happier!
Very nice corner unit for
under 300
Very nice desk for under 300 shipped although
some reviews would lead you to think this isn't a nice unit at all. Totally
false in my book and I am picky. The only blemish I found was on the fiberboard
that is hidden on the back side tacked on. The drawers are off a bit on their
alignment but I can deal for the price. I would recommend this unit, take your
time, line up the bags of screws to see what all you are working with and since
all pieces are stickered A-Z line them up and your putting together will be a
breeze. It is quite a few parts that's my only suggestion.
