Ameriwood Home Dakota Space Saving L Desk with Hutch, Dark Russet Cherry

Arrived fast. Upon putting together, many scratches dents on the pieces. More cracks created very easily when putting screws in. Could deal with most. But then the major piece of the whole desk is cracked and bent. Customer service is great about sending a new one out but it’s going to be several weeks before getting it. Defeats the whole purpose of buying something prime. Desk does not seem very stable, but can’t even use it until I receive the broken piece. Overall, kind of easy to put together but a lot was frustrating as some of the screws don’t fit any screw driver, as they either don’t match with each groove or have been grinded down to present no groove. Which also explains why this may not be stable since unable to screw everything tight. Disappointed in this purchase, but hopefully it gets the job done when and if ever the other piece arrives.

Summary of my initial review, which I wrote at ~3 months: Arrived looking good; as described. Impression of the assembly (which was done by someone else) was 3 or 4 stars out of 5 on difficulty/frustration/whathaveyou. Already had that "bubbling" of the "finish" that pressboard gets even though I had been being careful to avoid letting water sit on it. I got a lot of compliments on how nice it looked, pre-pandemic when I had people visit. A little wiggly when e.g. erasing.I've now had this desk for going on 3 years. It's great! I love it. Is it a little wobbly? Yes, but really only if whacked accidentally with a knee or something. I've only had very light things fall over as a result. Is the "bubbling" worse? Yeah. It's not badly warped (still basically entirely flat) but there is more of the desktop color worn away. But it has seen and continues to see a LOT of use. I finished college fully remotely and now I WFH, not to mention use in my free time. And I know a lot of the finish wearing away is due to the meals (most of them) that I have eaten/continue to eat there (e.g. condensation, spills, ...).The side part came loose from the main part after a year or two, but we split it apart and then re-attached it when I moved and it has stayed secure since, so if that happens to you, I recommend just reaffixing it. I did that part alone; it was not hard. I bought it because it was cheap, but even now that I'm not so broke, I have no real desire to upgrade when it meets my needs just fine. Note that I do not have a desktop computer (laptops instead). However, I used my sewing machine on it a couple of times, and it was steady enough for that, so I imagine it would handle things like desktops/all-in-ones or something like a printer just fine. So, definitely 5/5 stars overall for this price bracket.

I ordered two of these because my fiancé and I moved into a new place and we liked the style and price, and we both needed desks with upper storage space. I ordered mine first and he decided to go for the same one. Most desks with hutches cost a fortune. This desk is the perfect size- it isn’t too huge or overwhelming and the individual pieces are pretty lightweight.Unfortunately mine came with parts damaged- there’s a huge, obvious scrape through the wood on one of the pieces. Fortunately it’s on the underside of one of the upper shelves, but unfortunately I look up and see it all of the time. Otherwise the parts were intact and all of the screws were present which was the important part. Overall I’m happy with it.

Great desk! Assembly took a bit, make sure u have space to work and possibly an extra set of hands for moving and lining up the heavy boards. It was also difficult to find the letters on all the pieces as not all of them have stickers, some boards have writing on the edge and its very faint. Anyway, once its set up, it works like a charm. I am an author and bit of a chaotic mess when it comes to my desk, but theres plenty of space for all my chaos and it still offers a lot as far as under desk storage space and a multipurpose desk top area on the L lip part. Will be buying more furniture from here!

This desk is great for the price paid. It took quite a while to assemble, I took my time and I would say about 4 hours. But that was with me doing it mostly on my own, when my boyfriend helped the last steps flew by, some parts are heavy to put together so I’m thankful I had someone there to help, as I feel like I may have broken things otherwise trying to lift ans position correctly.I would give this 5 but there were 2 big problems.1) it came with small damages (see pictures)2) it came with wrong parts, thankfully the parts that were missing were not necessary to put the desk together. So I was able to put it together, then email the place for replacement parts (the place was great, all i had to do was fill out an order form and I got the parts shipped to me for free).

You probably won't be able to find an l-shaped table with a hutch at the price point of this table. All the pieces of this table are either cardboard or particle board with textures on them. It's fairly light compared to other tables of its' variety and the table top has plenty of space, but shelves lack some depth. Fair warning though, the material is easy to bend/crack.Overall, it's a great bang for your buck.

love it, wood quality is not as great
