Bush Furniture Series A 72W Desk Workstation for Home or Professional Workspace, Desktop Solution for Office Use, Hansen Cherry

I wanted a few things from a desk:* Affordable* Simple* Large* SturdyThis desk ticks all the boxes for me. Its not perfect, but for the price its minor deficits are easy to overlook.The Good:* Its an excellent size. I will easily be able to set it up with my desktop computer/monitor on one end and room for my laptop and possibly a 2nd monitor on the other end. All while having nice bookshelf speakers on it and some other things without it being cluttered.* It feels sturdy enough to hold all of my stuff without any wobble. I wouldnt stand on it or put many hundreds of pounds on it, but having multiple computers and office type stuff on it will leave me without worry.* For the price, it has some nice basic touches to it, like the wire holes on each end at the top, the wire holes on each leg and the included wire guides that attach to the modesty backing. All this allowing for clean cabling.The Bad(ish):None of this is really a deal breaker, just observations that others may not like.* Its heavy. Boxed its about 100 pounds and the box had no handles to carry it easily by. Heavy may be a good sign of strength and/or quality (and is likely the case here) but it also makes it hard to assemble, especially alone.* My next point is, expect this to be at least a 2 person job to assemble. Specifically when dealing with the desk top as thats the heaviest part by far, I would venture a guess at 50-75 pounds alone. If you have a powers screw driver/drill use it...I used a plain old screw driver and it was taxing.* The way its packed, you will most likely get it with the plastic wire guides cracked from the weight of the desk at some point being placed onto them. They are on one of the long edges of the box. For me 1 was fine and the 2nd was cracked but usable.Also, not really a negative at this price but the legs are wood, not metal. The only metal part are the "feet" of each leg. Would have been nice if the 2 legs/sides where metal. They would have been lighter and sturdier but would have added to cost as well.Once put together, its a solid desk. Assembly however had me worried about longevity. This uses a method of assembly you see in cheaper furniture for which I do not know the name of the parts or process, but will attempt to describe.You had a screw that is about 25% threaded end and about 75% rod. You thread/screw these into pre-drilled holes on the bottom side of the desk top. The rod end inserts into pre-drilled holes on each leg and the modesty backing. Then you place a metal "ring" into a dime sized pre-drilled hole on the size and when twisting it it locks into the rod pulling it tight.I find these over time to easily break/fail with lateral movement...like when trying to slide furniture across the floor. This has not happened yet of course, just that previous furniture using the same mechanism doesnt survive many moves say from home to home.Overall though, I am very happy with this. It looks more expensive than it is when built, provides plenty of surface space and doesn't come with unnecessary drawers or complexity that provide little value to me and only increase cost.I would recommend it to anyone looking for similar pro's as me as a home office desk.

This desk lives up to the reviews and exceeds expectations across the board. It is exceptionally sturdy, very functional with wiring and hanging trays, unbelievable leg room (I have a printer on a file drawer under it), is very simple to assemble, and has a color scheme that is neutral enough to match seamlessly into most office/home office spaces. If you want a great desk for the money, stop scrolling here.Only considerations I'd advise with this desk is measure the area you want to put it. These are large desks, both width and depth. It provides an amazing amount of desktop space, but you'll need a room large enough for it.Also, and this speaks to its sturdiness, this desk is heavy! Like two person lift heavy in the shipping box. Don't mess around trying to move it yourself without a dolly or friend.In the end, this desk is so great I have 2 of them! They fit great together and provide me an exceptional office setup and workspace. No regrets on this purchase.

I had my eye on this desk for probably close to a year. After spending the last 3 years with a foldable table I finally took the dive. This desk was everything I dreamed of and more and is truly my perfect desk. The finish on the top of it is beautiful and looks sleek and professional. It's incredibly wide and can fit everything I needed and more on my desk with plenty of space to mix and match however I'd like.I did not install the cable management tray below because I found running them along the back panel of the desk was a bit better and easier way to keep them out of sight though it does make them much harder to get to.It was super easy to build, like unbelievably simple. You get like 6 parts and they all go together just how you'd imagine and very easily at that. In return its unbelievably sturdy and from this it also helps stop monitor-wobble from typing that many many MANY other desks suffer from.I would buy 1000 more of these desks if I ever needed to.I give this desk the highest recommendation I possibly can.

My current setup with this desk is that it holds two 27" monitors, my laptop, keyboard and mouse, lamp, speakers, and a smattering of random items strewn across it.I looked through a lot of the desks available on Amazon as well as local office furniture stores, and couldn't find one that matched my criteria: A long, solid slab of wood. I didn't need drawers, wheels, or any wooden shelves. I wanted something very minimalistic, and this 72-inch desk from Bush Furniture fit my bill.The construction of this desk is straight forward, but requires a fair bit of strength as the individual components have some heft to them. The only tool needed is a Philip screwdriver (size #3?) for some light fastening when the wooden slab is placed upon the two legs and backboard. The process took roughly 2 hours at a leisurely pace. Having an additional person for the assembly is recommended, but it's possible to gingerly muster through.The package included two plastic pencil holders which I left uninstalled, and two plastic covers for the two holes on the slab of wood which I use for cable management.A nod to the Bush Furniture's customer service:There was an incident in which I was missing one of the screws for the final assembly; it seemed to be a non-standard screw that I couldn't find at a local hardware store. I called the number on the manual, and explained the issue. They were willing to ship me the missing screw, and it arrived promptly (about 3 days). Ultimately, I could've ignored the missing screw, and proceeded with the final assembly just fine, but I was willing to wait to finish the assembly exactly as was outlined in the manual. The process was very painless, and added to my satisfaction of this product.
