Sauder Heritage Hill Executive Desk, Classic Cherry finish

Bought this desk and am very happy with the purchase. Worth it to order from amazon and have it delivered; this desk is HEAVY. Desk came well packaged; surrounded with styrofoam and all the outer "pretty" peaces facing in so any shipping damage occurred to unseen parts. I unpacked desk and all parts were there and NO damage d/t excellent packaging (I wish other manufacturers would take notice). The directions were well written, easy to understand, and assembly went off without a problem. Desk is beautiful and meets all my needs.

This is probably my third Sauder desk over the years. They have well built and attractive products. Always pick Sauder because the screw holes and parts always line up. The instructions are always easy to follow and the appearance is amazing. I think this is my favorite desk of them all.

Found out I'm getting to old for these assembly projects.Lota parts but when you get done it really looks nice. Good instruction sheet. Everything fit were it should have. Free delivery to my front door on time. I have nothing bad to say about this project.

Of all the furniture I've put together over the years, this one had me the most apprehensive, mainly because it's the biggest with the most parts. It's also the first Sauder product I've bought, so in spite of the positive reviews on their other products, I wasn't sure. As my star rating shows, my worries were unfounded.The desk came in two boxes due to it's size and weight - this is close to 200 lbs of furniture so it's solid. The parts in the box were well laid out and protected, and there were no scratches or cracks. For the most part, the pieces of lumber were numbered for easy identification, but for some reason a few weren't. By process of elimination, it was easy to figure out what was what, and the hardware was also pretty easy to manage - in spite of there being over 130 screws of 11 different sizes, it wasn't bad at all.It says all you'll need is a screw driver and a hammer, but I also used a rubber mallet a few times and would recommend one. Of all the furniture I've put together, this piece had the best instructions. Very well written and illustrated, and easy to follow. There were a few steps when putting the file drawers together that I had to intuitively figure things out, but it was nothing major. Though I put this together by myself, I would recommend having someone help, if for no other step than when you have to flip it right-side up. Overall it took me almost six hours to finish.I've been using the finished product for a week now and am very pleased. It's looks great and has a very solid feel. The drawers slide out well and are smooth, and the edges where pieces meet are flush. If there was one quibble I have it would be the keyboard drawer - when you flip open the front, it doesn't slide out of the way, which puts me further from the keyboard than I prefer. Still, an excellent value, and I've since ordered a Sauder bookcase to go with it.

Very hard to assemble. Very time consuming. Nothing is assembled and it has a lot of parts. Is not real wood. Is particle board. I had to reinforce it with angles to make it stronger. At 289. Dollars not a bad buy.

This is a great desk. According to my Amazon account it will be delivered on April 13th after a delivery date of the 9th and the original delivery date of the 5th. It actually arrived on the 2nd. The carrier must have forgotten to record the delivery. Just wondering how long it will remain open on my account. Contacted the seller and Amazon over a week ago. Only thing that happened was the changed the delivery date again.That doesn't take away from the quality and great appearance of the desk, it is beautiful and durable. Lots of room for everything.

Desk is beautiful, but drawer slides were worthless. Poor quality slides that literally fell apart. I’m going to have to rework the drawer on one of the file cabinets because slide failed. Also lock on the same drawer only put gouges in the drawer in the unlocked position.

A bit tricky to put together, you will need two or three people at times. Not drill friendly. Beautiful when put together. Take you time.
