Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am between 3 and 4 stars with this one but am opting for 4.
First of all, this desk looks really nice and has all the features that I wanted in a desk. It has large drawers, an open space on the upper-right below the top to place things that can still be easy to grab yet don't take up desk space. It is a really nice design in the layout respect. Looks-wise, The desktop is a rich brownish (not good at explaining colors) wood that contrasts the black nicely while still matching with the black-theme of the room that it is in. The handles on the drawers are very stylish (rustic looking) and the drawers are butter-smooth.
The one MAJOR downfall is that the wood is NOT treated. This results in 2 issues. First, the desktop bubbles up. I use it as a surface for my computer's mouse and if I run my hand across the area that I use it in, it feels rough with small bumps throughout. However, there are other areas that are unaffected. The only thing I did in that area was use a computer mouse, so it is a little odd. I am also a habitual coaster-user, yet I have noticed one ring from a cup that I must have placed down very briefly. This isnt very noticeable and you'd have to run your hand across the desktop or look at it from an angle to notice. I use a wireless laser mouse and it tracks perfectly on the surface (well any surface) so I couldn't knock it to 3 stars because of that. The second problem you will run into is that the edges of the opening for your desk-chair get worn pretty quickly. This results in an unsightly exposed area where you rub up against it often.
I am not a carpenter or wood-expert but I do respect wood and use coasters, pledge, etc so I knocked it to 4 stars because of the wear issues I mentioned. I do not know if you can treat it someway, but if you can definitely hit the corners that you will be rubbing against a lot as well as the entire top area.
I have owned this desk for about 7 months. If I wanted it to last a couple of years I feel that I would have to pain the corners black that are worn down and exposed.
I would purchase this product again if I had the chance, probably with the consideration of treating it with some type of protectant. It is definitely a classy looking desk and has great styling, coloring, and layout-features that make it a great buy.
