Leick Home Stratus Solid Wood Laptop Writing Desk with Drop Front Keyboard Drawer, Space-Saving Design for Home Office, Heartwood Cherry, 22400

This is a great desk. It looks just like the images provided by Amazon. It is substantial and sturdy, and very easy to assemble. You just attach the legs with bolts using the allen wrench provided in the hardware pack. The desk is better than much higher priced products I have seen. I especially like the size, stain color and the drawer pull hardware. A few things to consider if you are buying this desk. First, when you unpack the box, before throwing away all the packing materials check carefully for loose small screws. One of my drawer hardware screws was loose in the box and I almost threw it way. It was easy to just screw it back in on the hinge that lets the drawer face drop down for keyboard access. Second, don't force the box of legs out of the drawer when unpacking them or you will probably damaged the drawer slides. Third, the desk top is particle board covered with vaneer. There is solid hardwood trim along the sides and the front edges but along the back edge there is just a strip of vaneer. The desk is pretty heavy so it gets knocked around during shipping and this unprotected vaneer along the back edge can be easily damaged. My desk arrived with a small chunk of the back edge, particle board and top vaneer broken away. I knew this might happen from other reviews and with a little stain it isn't noticable along the back since I have the unit up against a wall. If you are going to have the back exposed I would recommend that you plan for possibly having to repair minor shipping damage. It would be very easy to patch with wood dough or to attach a strip of small hardwood corner trim stained to match along the back edge. With the low price, great look and sturdy functioning of the desk, it would be a small inconvenience. If like me you are putting it up against a wall, just plan to touch up the back with stain or even those furniture scratch repair pens.

The first table that I ordered arrived mostly in good shape and very quickly. However, the box arrived very beaten and with a split in the middle, exposing foam packing material. The condition of the table under the beaten areas and the middle was good -- no scratches or dents, but one of the table top corners had a two-inch split in the veneer that appeared to be a factory defect. It is hard to see how that passed their QA as the underlying glue for the veneer is a bright mustard yellow, and contrasts with the rich reddish/mission oak stain of the wood. I decided to take a gamble and requested a replacement from Amazon.The replacement table arrived very quickly, too. Kudos to UPS for their speed in the delivery process, BTW. This box looked fine, but one of the corners of the table top was smashed, despite the fact that the box was reinforced at the corners and the table also had cardboard surrounding its corners. I sent this second table back and decided to attempt a repair and stain the first table.Assembly was quick and easy - 2 bolts screwed on to each of the four legs with the included allen wrench.The table is a very pretty piece. It is the Leick computer/writing desk with the farmhouse oak turned leg, which is an attractive option. The table is flat and unmarked and the legs are straight with no wobbles; however, the finish coat is pretty thin - I'm not sure how durable it will be. Other than the split at the edge, the veneer was well applied to the wood base. The keyboard drawer is very tight, and pulling it out tends to move the entire table, so I have to hold the table back when pulling - I suppose it will loosen up with use. The latches appear to be well made and are tightly screwed into the draws. Based on my experience with other computer-type desks, the drop-down front is one area where I might expect problems to occur, so I will monitor this location for any loosening of the screws.I am glad I bought this table. It will meet my needs for a very reasonable cost. The table probably needs even better packing to survive the journey from factory to homes, however, because getting one that is in perfect shape is a bit of a crap-shoot.

I love this desk! It is beautiful! Very solid and a deep rich color too! I love that it has the drop leafs allowing you to adjust the width. The mission style goes perfectly in my Arts and Craft home. It also ha a a generous keyboard drawer with a face that can drop open on a hinge or close for safe keeping. Highly recommended! Easy to put together. ☺️

I'm pretty picky. I find defects in the smallest of things. But this desk arrived in very nice condition. Built strong. I needed a computer desk for my living room area but did not want an over-sized clunky desk with big drawers on it. This bolder mission oak desk is simply elegant, beautiful wood, nice rich wood grains, very distinquished an professional looking. The desk lines are sleek, slim, clean and lanky looking. No wobbles, no creaks when you lena on it. Stunning and expensive looking finish. It came without damage and was packed well. It is a heavy desk. But VERY SIMPLE to put together..just bolt on the four legs, two bolts each leg. That's it! Even the wrench is included. It took longer to unpack the desk than to put it together. The desk drawer comes fully assembled and operates very smoothly and quietly. The drawer is also big, spacious and very roomy too. The drawer is over 33 inches in width! Nice! This is one of the best purchases I have made with Amazon. And I buy a LOT from Amazon. Thanks Amazon for the great service and fast shipment. I would definately buy this again.
