Beautiful desk! It arrived quickly. Everything was nicely packaged, and the pieces were labeled clearly. It was easy to assemble. As a petite, middle-aged woman, I did it in less than an hour. The color is a smooth cherry. I am impressed by the quality. I noticed a lot of reviews mentioning the drawers not lining up. Note: They are Right and left-specific, so if yours don’t line up, switch them. I am very happy with this purchase.

Unable to support the weight of just a basic sewing machine. The top is cheap and bowed from the weight, now the drawers won’t shut properly.

TERRIBLE desk don’t but it. After FOLLOWING all the instructions and putting it together, there’s huge gaps in between the drawer and the piece that goes under it target will do anything to help me unless I return it … and I’m not going to take it apart after spending hours putting together
Awful construction.

Sreed2002 - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
The quality of this desk is awful. Once assembled it is not sturdy, and rarely during assembly did the holes line up, which makes it look terrible due to none of the seams aligning. The drawers are a whole other story, making me question is they are even intended to go with this desk, so janky and crooked. I’d return if it wasn’t such a hassle now that it’s already assembled. Do not buy.
The drawers dont line up at all

Lex_b - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
I’m really disappointed with the time I spent putting this desk together, for the drawers to not fit or look as pictured. They’re completely unlevel and off centered! I’ve taken them apart and rebuilt twice and it’s just unfixable. They don’t sit flush to their slots and there’s a huge gap in the center. But I spent so long assembling it, there’s no shot I’ll be taking it apart to return it. Don’t buy! Please save yourself.

The color runs a little more red than pictured but still gorgeous. Assembly was simple and quick. I got it done in about an hour and a half. I was a little worried because it’s held together with mostly cam locks, but they lined up very well. It is made of particle board but the finish still feels quality and is sturdy. I do think the price is a little high for particle board and cam locks, but it’s a more affordable option than most “rattan” furniture nowadays.

This desk is beautiful but it is very cheap quality. I received mine with the wood damaged in two places, one on the top of the desk and one on the drawer. I was going to keep it but the damage on the top was too noticeable.

I hoped the negative reviews were only about the color of the tan desk but I learned the hard way they weren’t. The black desk came damaged on one of the drawer fronts. I decided i’d keep it anyways and started putting it together only to learn it had missing pieces too. Would not recommend.

I am giving 2 stars since Target has great customer service but the desk is a completely different color than advertised. I thought it was a blond wood but it came a darker red. The size was perfect for my space unofortunately the materials lool really cheap too, very dissapointed.
Good buy!

Great instructions, easy build! I love it! Only downside is the color online/pics is different. Online it shows like a light wood color but in person it’s actually a darker wood color. The wood is slightly fragile so i’d be gentle when building!

I bought this for my college apartment. It's big enough for my fiances game setup (laptop, keyboard and mouse) with room to spare. The color is darker than the picture, but it's still a gorgeous color. It was easy to put together and feels sturdy. Considering buying another so my fiance and I can have our own desks. Great purchase!
