Loring Wood Writing Desk with Drawers and Charging Station - Threshold™

A: The veneer top is durable as long as you take care of it appropriately. It wipes up easily and I make sure to keep it dry, as it is a veneer. Overall I love this desk!

A: Be VERY careful about putting anything wet on the surface. It was start to buckle. I put a damp glass on the surface and it left a raised ring on the surface.

A: Hi Max - Thanks for asking. The top part of this desk is made of wood with a paper veneer. You can find more useful information by clicking Show More in the item details. Have a great day! - Nathalie

A: It’s particle board. Not durable at all.

A: I purchased one last week and it has a very stong chemical smell to it. After a week no improvement. I will return it for sure. Smells awful!!

A: Hi Jr - Thanks for browsing our desk collections! This desk should not have any chemical smells upon arrival. You are going to love this! - Katrina

A: Just put mine together, no real odor besides the average packaging material smells.

A: It's very easy to assemble. You attach the metal legs and stand part to the already assembled desk/drawer area. Probably took me less than 10 minutes to fully assemble.

A: easy assembly tool 20 minutes

A: Very little skill necessary. The entire top/wood part comes already assembled, all you have to do is attach the legs with the screws included. You can do this manually with a screwdriver, but I used a power drill and it was much faster!

A: Hi Sharon - This stylish desk does require some assembly, but you just need a screwdriver to get it ready to complete your home office. Thanks for reaching out. - Mark

A: The desk body itself is pre-built, even the drawers. You only need to assemble the metal frame and place the desk on top. Took us 15 minutes start to finish and that includes cleaning up the packing materials. We used a drill instead of the allen key.

A: No. Once you place the receptacle end of the extension into the desk the plug end hangs out the bottom. There is no way to store it or put it back into the extension cubby.

A: Hi Cheryl – Thanks for viewing our home office furniture! This writing desk has 2 outlets and 2 USP ports in a cubby along the back of the desk. This will allow you to plug in an electric cord or use the port for charging your phone or laptop. Once you plug in your cord, you won’t be able to hide it. Thanks for dropping by. – Anita

A: Hi Raquelle - Thanks for browsing Target.com for a new desk. The desk has a sturdy metal frame and holds up to 100 lbs. Hope you like it! - Melissa

A: No, it isn't top heavy at all.

A: Hello sstring - We’re glad you stopped by to ask! Keep in mind, this charming desk measures at 25.38" height from the floor to the bottom of the drawer. Happy shopping! - Erinn

A: I bought this chair and it works great. https://www.target.com/p/upholstered-swivel-dining-armchair-blue-kinwell/-/A-82163842#lnk=sametab

A: I bought the Upholstered Swivel Dining ArmChair Blue -Kinwell and it works great.

A: Hi Jarkitect - Great question! The dimensions for the flap are: 12” W x 3.7”D. I hope this will work for you! - Katrina

A: Hi TriciaAnn - The power cord measures 8'6" and runs out the back of the desk. Thanks for shopping Target! - Philip

A: It runs out the BOTTOM, not the back of the desk.

A: It has a wood-grain texture to it, but seems like a paper veneer that wouldn't take paint well, especially since I've read here that some people put a drink on it and the condensation made it buckle. Get a coaster too.

A: Hi Lopez -Thanks for browsing our home office furniture selection! I'm glad you found a desk you're interested in. We recommend that it be enjoyed in it's original packaged form. We're glad you dropped by! - Dante
