Mission Office Desk, Solid Wood, with Drop Front Keyboard Drawer, Mission Oak, 82410

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 bought this to replace a plain table I'd been using for my computer. I work at home and spend many hours at the keyboard, and I need a setup with a keyboard tray. Without one, I feel pain in my arms. This desk was easy to put together by myself, and it looks very stylish and sturdy even from the back. The keyboard tray folds open completely flat, so there is no lip to hurt my wrists. It's also wide enough for my keyboard, my mouse pad, and any other little things I want to keep in the drawer. The hole for cords in the back of the desk is a nice touch, but I use wireless peripherals, so I don't use it. All in all, this was a great choice for me.

Its great! Its pretty big but it was easy to assemble and looks good. I put my own handles on it and i love it

This desk is a perfect workstation for me. I use a Mac with a 27" screen and a Windows laptop. I need a keyboard tray for the Mac and the drawer of this desk pulls out and the front drops down to form a keyboard tray. Fully extended, the tray is about 15" deep and 33" wide--enough to accommodate the Mac keyboard and my laptop. When extended, the tray is still very sturdy. I don't usually pull it out all the way. The hardware used for the dropdown front of the tray is excellent and provides a very stable and even work surface. The drawer is 25.5" from the floor, which provides enough room to slide a rolling file cabinet under it. The desk was easy to assemble, simply by screwing on the legs. Be aware that the shipping box is heavy and will require two people to move. The corners are minimally protected by the packaging, so it is best not to tip the box on end, but carry and store it flat.

This is a very handsome, sturdy desk that I enjoy seeing and using. I use the desk for paperwork, and I also have my computer monitor on it. It seems to be made of solid wood, which I like very much. Mine had a few minor cosmetic imperfections (a small gash, the drawer protrudes from the front by a few millimeters, etc.), but other than that, I love it. It is a bit pricey, though.

A beautiful and functional desk that just fell apart. Such a disappointment! The desk sat unused until about two weeks ago. I've used it a few times and the drawer fell apart. One side is resting on my knee as I write this review. The entire sliding mechanism separated, the drawer fell out and will not go/stay in place. It is hanging and twisting the other (left) side, so it really is a total loss. I can NOT recommend purchasing this desk. What a rip off!

I love the antique design and the fact that it is solid wood with veneers... Unfortunately, one of the legs had a long split at the top and it was obviously filled in with wood glue. See photos. I refuse to pay $336.81 (with taxes) for a desk with a repaired leg- who knows how much weight it would bear?! So I returned it. Now, I am sure this is a fluke. I am sure that most of you who order this desk will not encounter this problem and will be very happy! It is a stunning desk and seems very well made. It is very easy to assemble too. So, if you order one just be sure to check for factory repairs before assembly. If not for that sneaky repair, this would have been a 5-star review.

We purchased this desk for our teenage daughter and received it last week. It was super easy and fast to assemble, basically just put the legs on. It seems to be good quality. Our daughter loves it and it looks great in her room. It's great for a teen, full size but not too huge. So happy we got such a great desk for a great price.

This item was packaged with such care -- very impressive. They took every precaution to make sure that the item would be protected from any kind of damage. Assembly was easy because the drawer is already attached to the desk. The customer needs only to attach the 4 legs, which was not difficult. As for the desk itself, it is a very lovely piece. The turned legs (legs which are carved, not just straight) make it more upscale, and there's a lot of surface room on the desk as well as lots of open space beneath the desk. Very happy with it!
