Bush Furniture Cabot L Shaped Desk with Hutch | Corner Desk with Storage for Home Office in Ash Gray | 60W L Shaped Computer Desk

I purchased this item about a week or two back, so I've had a bit of time to use it a little inbetween work.I'll start with the biggest part; assembly.It's a huge huge pain, and the biggest problem tends to be the instructions. While the pictures aren't hard to see, and the quality of the pictures is fine, at times it's hard to tell what direction a piece goes or how it should go.The directions rarely have any written parts to describe how to assemble a certain section, and you're left to just go over the picture multiple times and make sure it looks the same as you're going along.Assembly for the desk took about a full day. I put the desk together myself, with no assistance from another person. The only part I needed help with was moving the desk in place. It's very awkward to move due to the L shape, and a little heavy.The hutch I actually had more trouble putting together than the desk. The pictures threw me off much more often than the desk did, and I had to unscrew parts at time and flip them around. The hutch is actually quite heavy, but is very sturdy once assembled.The hutch assembly took an entire day as well, I probably took more time with it due to just putting together the desk. and being off work that day, but it would take a few hours to put together regardless.During the end of the assembly I had help putting the hutch on the desk, and screwwing it in. It's just about the only part of assembly in which you will require some help.The desk looks great once it's completely assembled with the hutch on top. Holds a lot of stuff on the hutch, with some extra space to spare.Nothing about the desk felt cheap to me, only thing I couldn't stand were the awful directions which gave me a headache(literally).It's a lot bigger than I expected, but it fit in the room just fine.Just make sure if you have a smaller room, to do some measurements beforehand.All in all I'd recommend this to anyone who has the space, and time(not to mention patience) for the desk.

I was in need of a large at-home desk that would serve well for holding a computer and doing basic paperwork with and this desk has been wonderful. I highly recommend this to desk buyers. This is a beautiful desk and it is a very reasonable price compared to many competitors out there. It is not cheap composite board like most desks (although it is a form of a really hard durable composite board). It is heavy duty and very durable (can hold 200 lbs. on the desk surface)!!! The desk takes a long time to put together though and if you buy the hutch then it comes in a separate package, and the desk itself also comes in two separate packages. This confused me and I actually called the company to make sure of this. I have had mine for three months and I am very pleased with it. It is very classy and is a nice touch to any home office! It is rather large though and wieghts A LOT so it may take more than one person to lift and put together. I love it though and it suits all my purposes. The desk charger is also extremely helpful and the USB hub in the desk serves its purpose well!!! Great product and well worth EVERY penny!!!

I purchased the package with the bookcase and the lateral file. See my reviews for those individual pieces.The desk and hutch came very well packaged. While the outer cardboard box had the usual expected dings and tears from shipping, inside the box the desk is encased in thick styrofoam and each piece is separated by either thinner styrofoam or wrap. The hardware and directions are easy to find. Each piece of hardware is packaged in individual bags with the part number clearly marked on the bag. It was so easy to lay out the parts and grab what I needed.Yes, you should put aside several hours to put it together. I put most of it together myself, but I needed help at a couple of points. Make sure you have someone nearby to help. But it was easy to put together, and everything fit just like it's supposed to. Any issues I encountered were self-induced. A few tips. The backing to the hutch is put on with tiny long screws. Just nail those in. Look ahead a few steps as you proceed. You may decide to do things in a different order depending on your preferences. I glued the wood dowels for sturdiness but in retrospect and looking at other reviews, that may not have been a good idea if I ever want to move it, or worse, try to get it up the basement stairs. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.The desk and hutch look beautiful when assembled! The glass fronts are a nice touch that you don't usually see in desks at this price point. The little cubbies in the hutch are useful for storing stationery. The USB hub is great since both desktop and laptop computers are sorely lacking in extra USB ports.There are a few dings that keep this from a five-star review. While the file drawer has nice bearing slides, the drawer has a simple wheel track that gives it a cheap feel and doesn't always glide smoothly. The charging shelf is really cool, but the insert isn't attached to the desk so it slides out when you are using it, but it should be removable to make it easier to reach into the cabinet to pull the USB cords through. I will probably add velcro attachments to keep it in place and still be able to remove it. Finally, the glass front cabinet below the charging station is kind of useless as it is. If you have a huge CPU I suppose that it's useful, but my small CPU doesn't take up much desktop and it's more convenient on top. So I may install a shelf in the cabinet.One more tip. This is composite wood with a woodgrain paper cover. Pretty standard stuff at this price. If you intend to use the desk alot, get inexpensive desk pads to protect the wood. You should do that with solid wood too, so this is not really a negative. Use a coaster for your coffee. Just common sense. The surface survived assembly perfectly so I expect that this desk will look great for years to come.

Everything came clean and undamaged, assembly took a few hours with 2 people, the quality and space this desk has is impressive. The wood is nice and sturdy, not rough and is comfortable to lay your hands on.
