Sauder Heritage Hill Executive Desk, Classic Cherry finish

This is a fabulous desk and is well worth the price! The look of the desk is awesome and others will compliment you many times over for the purchase of it. Here are a few things to keep in mind: (1) The desk is heavy to have the delivery people to put it where it will be assembled (2) It is important to put the desk pieces and screws in alphabetical order (3) Have 2 people for assembly (4) Follow drawings closely (5) Drawer handles must face you (6) Assemble and insert drawers correctly (7) Have drill AND screwdriver handy (8) There is a small, black (almost triangular) drawer release lever on the metal rods of BOTH sides of drawers if you've put a drawer in the wrong drawer slot. Press BOTH release levers up or down and pull out the drawer (9) If a drawer won't go in, it most likely means that you have assembled the drawer backwards. You can easily correct this. I like this purchase and will highly recommend it!!.

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.

Some reviewers state the desk is weak, or needed reinforcement to avoid damage to the item. I’ve no clue what these folks are referring to. Yes, the product is made from engineered wood but the wood is very thick. This desk has survived 2 apartments, triple monitor setups and every day wear and tear. It’s rock solid.Assembly was a pain in the ass, that’s my only “complaint”. Grab a beer and a friend to make things go more smoothly. All the drawers work just fine, there are no signs of structural weakening and there are no chips / scratches to speak of. I highly recommend this desk to anyone.

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.

I ordered a desk from Amazon and was extremely disappointed. The item arrived damaged, with visible defects right out of the box. When I contacted customer service to request a partial refund, they flat-out denied it simply because I had already opened the package which I had to do just to discover the damage.The quality of the desk is poor limsy materials and shoddy craftsmanship. It’s clear this product wasn’t built to last. On top of that, the customer service experience was frustrating and dismissive. There was no real effort to resolve the issue or even acknowledge the inconvenience.I won’t be buying from them again

2 people @6 hours each labor to assemble.

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.

Not sure about the desk. The package was opened like the desk was taken out of the box then put back in. This package should have never been shipped.
