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.

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

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.

I had to replace a Sauder desk due to water damage. It was a pain to assemble, but I new that. All in all, a good value for your money. The assembled desk looks fabulous. I would like to suggest that the manufacturer come uo with adjustable legs for the desk, because the parsticle board it is made from will not stand any water damage. Nowing this, I fastened 2x4 boards to the inside of the uprights and put adjustable legs on them. Now a water leak in the house will not destroy a desk that I put a lot of hours into putting it together,

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.
