When I first opened the box I asked myself whether the desk had been painted--it appeared only primed. I could see the wood grain (looking more like pine than poplar) in several places. I will be sanding and painting it myself to make it look nice. The writing surface seems to be made up of two planks, poorly joined near the back edge--there was a sixteenth inch gap where there should have been none. I will have to fill this with wood filler, prime it, and then paint. I'm still amazed that this product was approved by even the most negligent quality control inspector. The desk is sturdy (it doesn't wobble on its legs), but it is poorly constructed. Superficially it looks OK, but the joinery is second-rate, and I'm being charitable with that description. I would send it back and look for another desk, but this one perfectly fits a space I allotted for a desk in my renovation, and the style appeals to me too. I think it will be less troublesome to fix what I have, rather than box it up and return it. My experience with this product differs widely from the other two reviews I read before purchasing--I don't know why. I will be leaving a similar critique with Safavieh. I am surprised and baffled that this company would affix its name to such a substandard piece of work. I repeat: Save your money.

Wonderful Product
Luv this addition to our small dining area! The decor perfectly blended well with our white dining furniture. Only had for about 2 weeks and it's already part of the family!

The desk is the exact size I was looking for. Love the sizes and number of drawers and the little hutch. My laptop computer fits perfectly into the space in the hutch between the drawers. BUT, the finish work on the product could have been much, much better for the price paid. It is quite rough in places. But as it is the perfect size for my space, I will be keeping it.

It is a very nice desk for the money. One issue that I had with it was the lower left drawer hung up on a frame piece in the back tending to keep the drawer sticking out 1/2". I chiseled out the frame piece a bit to make a ramp so the drawer would slide home more easily. It is much better now but you can still feel a bit of interference when the back of the drawer interfaces with the frame piece in back. Overall, I like the desk for the price I paid. I've had the desk for a little over a month now.

Very nice little desk
Easy to assemble--hutch comes attached to desktop and legs are already pieced together, just attach to desk body with 8 bolts. Front curves out a little--functional and attractive. Overall, nice sized small desk. Drawers are good size for writing supplies, etc. Perfect for any room.
