Lapierre Solid Wood Executive Desk

The quality is what you get with a much less costly desk you put together yourself, only its already assembled. The desk weighs very little relative to its size, which tells you about the quality of the wood. The finish looks like thick stain, didn't stick too well in a few small places, that was not rubbed off and doesn't appear to have any hardening varnish of any ilk over the soft wood and iffy staining. Paying extra for delivery and set up was semi-worthless: the delivery people did not even want to bring it in the door and said it was not their job to do that or anything else, just deliver the thing. Honestly, in most ways its about what I expected, although the minimum density of the "solid" wood was not. The cable management options are good and the right cabinet will hold a full size desktop computer box, although you need to keep the door open for ventilation. I will apply some polyurethane, at least to the top, and hope I get a few years out of the desk before it becomes too scratch and dentified.

This desk is a piece of junk. The craftsmanship is terrible. There are no holes inside the cabinet where the tower sits to pass the cables through, I had to drill them myself. The tray that the keyboard sits on is 1 inch off crooked I had to take the sliders off and level up the tray. Please do not buy this desk if I hadn’t thrown the box away I would’ve sent it back very disappointed zero stars.

The desk is nicer than the site photo, It was delivered in a timely manner. As lovely as the desk is, it had a very strong odor of shellac. I put an air filter and fans and opened the windows After about a month the odor was no longer detectable.

The desk looks just like the picture. It was delivered carefully and unboxed for us. No complaints so far.

For the price this desk is not all that sturdy. There are many unfinished thin plywood pieces. It’s too big and too costly to return so I’m keeping it but I worry that it will not hold up overtime
