I love it but it had some minor damage.

I just got this desk today. It’s pretty, but it’s not as advertised. It is NOT solid wood and a bit oddly colored. Clearly the product has changed because the pictures in the other reviews below show a solid wood top. Mine came with a particleboard top with a very, very thin veneer. Maybe the switched to MDF to “fix” the splitting issues. The desk came damaged and it’s off-gassing so much that it burns my eyes nose and throat when near it. I honestly had a hard time sitting at the desk for more than 10 minutes. I reported the damages to Wayfair and immediately upon filling out the information was directed to contact the manufacturer. This is despite noting that it arrived damaged. The message was something like “Don’t worry, the manufacturer is used to handling these kinds of problems and is committed to resolving them”. I’m hoping thisis the case.

I had it for a 6 months and the wood is already splitting and continues to get worse.

I had such high hopes for this desk and felt like it had a beautifully simple, classic look to it. Sadly, I should have known there might be an issue because when I was assembling it, I noticed one of the legs had a significant crack in it. I contacted Wayfair who promptly contacted the supplier and had another desk leg sent to me. That part was helpful! The problem is that I should have taken that as a larger sign. After a few months passed, more than 12 significant cracks have appeared all over the desktop and underside/side of the desk. I am so incredibly bummed because I really did love this desk. I'm concerned that with time, these cracks will only continue to grow in size (similar to cracks in cement after an earthquake) and the desk may be unusable eventually. Most of the time when you see reviews where customers have cracks in their furniture, it is because it was damaged during shipping. I believe there to be an issue with the wood supply or design because this has occurred over a short period of time when I've barely touched the desk (which I hate to admit) since assembling it. I'm currently trying to work with the supplier and a supervisor at Wayfair to see what can be done. Very sad.

Beautiful so easy to put together. Love it
