Bureau d’écriture en bois massif Schuster

Very cheaply made. Not worth the money. Hardware was not sufficient to hold the thing together.

I was in the market for a new desk for a very long time. What I wanted was very specific, and this desk seemed to meet my specs. It was either this desk, which for what it is, was rather inexpensive, or paying far, far more for a desk I knew would be of higher quality. I chose this one, fully knowing its quality wouldn't blow me away, and I've been vacillating on how many stars to give. When putting it together, the pre-drilled holes for the legs were not measured out exactly, so the legs were not able to be completely flush with where they were supposed to go when fully assembled, but both cosmetically and functionally, it is fine and one cannot tell from any distance. The discrepancy was small enough that a little elbow grease got the whole thing to work. I've only had it for less than a month and a half, and already, a part of the veneer in the back is warping. Since it's in the rear and I plan on applying some wood glue to it, this is also acceptable. More concerning, however, is that it appears the top is bowing, and I think it has gotten worse in the past week or so. This is something of which that I'll have to keep track. As a side note, the slide out keyboard tray could be a little more smooth as well. One might even think about giving the desk a 2 out of 5, but since I knew going into it that this was a cheaper desk, I cannot blame the manufacturer. It is very striking looking in its room among the other furnishings. I hope to get many years of service out of it, but if the problems keep mounting, I think I'll have to look elsewhere. I'll just have to treat it with more respect than I had planned.

Beautiful desk with elegant clean lines. Love the slide-out keybaord shelf. It is wide enough for my keyboard, mouse and some peripherals. The desk easily holds two gaming monitors. Mechanics of shelf are smooth and it hides away when not in use to present a gorgeous looking desk.

I loved this item . It's very sturdy and beautiful

The attachment of the legs to the desk top is poor. There is a metal slat that bolts to the bottom of the desk, but the slat is attached to the legs with 3 short, 1/2 inch, screws that are arranged in a straight line in the side-to-side direction. There is no bracing in the front-to-back direction. A moderate force in the front-to-back direction could easily rip the screws out.
