Bush Business Furniture Series A 36W Desk in Light Oak and Sage

We ordered two of these to replace an old workstation, lining them up side by side along the wall. First - they both arrived with ZERO defects and ZERO damage. Second - each one takes about an hour to assemble. Assembly is easy, but leveling on carpet is tricky. If you're placing these on a hard floor, should be much easier. What we noticed is that the leveling system needs to adjust to your carpet. The workspace is phenomenal. There is enough room to put a large printer, a large monitor, keyboard and still have working space for writing etc. The track to contain wires and cords is rather flimsy but it is definitely worth the effort to install it. After we installed the track, we mounted multi-outlet surge protector bars up underneath by screwing them up underneath on the sides. The result is very clean and efficient. No more loose cords and wires dangling underfoot. We have a shredder underneath one and a large wastebasket under the other. Plenty of leg room left. These tables are a great bang for the buck.

As our home office has grown, the best decision we ever made was to start using the Bush Furniture Series A. We now have 7 desk and cabinet pieces in our collection with accessories. This supports 2 full computer work stations with large dual monitors, printer, holds ours 5 years of household filing and still gives us room to spread out our projects. The series has stayed identical for years and you can't tell the first piece we bought about seven years ago from the piece we bought this year. That is also a testimony to how well these pieces are built and stand up to daily use. They come packaged in a flat box that should probably be a two person lift, but I've muscled them around just fine. Each piece is protected with just the right amount of foam and covering. All the pieces are clearly marked and the instructions match up perfectly. 30 minutes later you have a solid desk that will last longer than your next 5 computers. They are basic shapes, but in real life I find basic is more functional than fancy. Pros: Solid, well built, true value for the money, consistent colors/sizes/appearance. Cons: Solid and Heavy, not practical for college life if you are going to move around a lot. They don't wear out, so if you like to change your furniture every couple of years... try something else All our friends marvel at our desk setup and the quality of these pieces. I'd give this 10 stars if I could, they are twice as good as any other desk product I have ever owned.

This desk comes in a variety of widths but I chose the 48" since that fit in the area I had available. This width looks like a standard desk. This is a desktop only without drawers. There are cutouts for routing cables and an optional cable tray that can be used to keep cables off of the floor. This is business furniture so it is much better built than the consumer-quality desks in the same price range IMHO. The top is solid wood. The sides and back are solid wood. The hardware is good quality and fits the first time. If you need a file cabinet or a hutch, there are other models of this desk that include them at a discounted bundle price. Assembly is about average for furniture of this complexity and took under an hour for one person.

Thank the lord my desk didn't come damage like other's have experienced, my came super clean, the quality of the table top is about as good as you can get for the price, I spent about 3 months looking for a sturdy desk that was and not an ikea desk or one of the cheap 100 dollar desks you can get on amazon, I wanted quality, there was no reviews anywhere really except amazon so I rolled the dice and came out a winner, I have 150lbs on it and it's handling it no problem, no bowing or bending in the center. The was about the only good experience I had was taking it out of the box, now this is where the nightmare begins, the instruction manual is so vague and unclear it is nauseating, it only has pictures of item's and screws but no clear direction on where they go or how to install them, maybe I'm stupid and didn't get it but I called their customer service and they thankfully helped me get it together before bed. I love this desk.

I happen to live near the warehouse where this shipped from so Cymax got it to me quickly and without issue. Assembly was a different issue. The desk is simple to put together, however, the side leg panels require attaching the plastic bottom runner with two 3" screws on each side. The problem was that the holes for this were apparently only drilled to about a 2 inch depth and were impossible to screw all the way in. I ended up having to get out my drill and drilling the hole deeper. After that, the screws went in fine and assembling the desk was a cinch. For just around $200, this is an awesome desk if you prefer long workbench-style desks. I also purchased the computer keyboard tray that Bush makes for this. That was extremely easy to install as the desk already comes with predrilled holes on the bottom of the desktop designed to making installation of the keyboard tray a snap. A few turns of four screws and I had a place to set my keyboard tray and mouse. The only thing I wish this had was the ability to install two keyboard trays side by side as I have my gaming laptop on one end and my work laptop on the other. I'd have preferred to have a separate keyboard/mouse for each, but sadly only a single keyboard tray can be installed without drilling additional holes (something I'm not interested in doing). Overall this is a solid, sturyd desk for an great price.

Table arrived as advertised and in great condition. It was relatively easy to assemble, however you'll need some floor space to do it correctly. I love the Beach/Slate Gray look as the Beach top doesn't show dirt/dust as easily as a darker surface. Also, the desk is rather sturdy and does NOT move/wobble when typing on my iMac. Other desks would show slight movement of my iMac computer as I typed, not this desk as it is apparently much more solid/heavy. Not the greatest feature when you must move the desk, but you'll appreciate it when you use the desk!

This desk reminds me of some office furniture I've used in past jobs. I bought two of them to setup in the corner of my studio (bedroom) somewhat like an "L" shape. These are very sturdy and I've even stood on one to put some foam on the walls. The cord trays needed at least 2 or 3 more screws to really secure them for all the cords I'm using. I got the light gray color for 2 reasons: 1) Priced lower (than black). 2) Black shows every spec of dust and debris.

PROS: If I could skip the whole assembly I'd have given it 5 stars. This desk is incredibly sturdy and large enough to have all my stuff on it with plenty of room for food, drink and mouse movement. I love all the cable tidy stuff, it's nice putting my feet under my desk without having to worry about hitting the off switch on the power strip. CONS: Here's why it didn't get 5 stars. The design of this desk was incredibly sloppy in terms of assembly. The holes on either end where the large plastic feet are attached were not drilled deep enough, the screw stopped midway down and it took a whole lot of power to screw them in. It drained the power drill/driver battery three times just to get them all the way in. There was no doing it by hand, it was way too hard to turn, even as a guy with muscles. The decorative caps on the pin screws (whatever they're called) were obviously made for some other furniture from another store. They hardly fit at all. The ones that did I had to force them in and I'm not sure if it really even looks any better. The rest just bent and refused to go in. The mount holes for the cable/strip holders were drilled way off center. I'm pretty sure whoever did this was stoned at the time. There was a cracked bit at the corner underneath the front part of the desk when I got the thing. It's not noticeable though since it's on the underside. That bit is also easy to chip off with the screws you add to go into the holes. Overall, this was all very frustrating, tedious and time consuming to assemble and I'm pretty sure the makers of this desk don't actually ever use the desks or have to deal with assembling it, or they'd know. Talk about not painting the back of the fence. In the end, once it's assembled, it's a really good, sturdy desk that will likely last for a while.

Very large, solid, good looking desk. I particularly like the way that all my wretched computer cables are more-or-less hidden. Easy to assemble, although I did need another person to help me lift the top onto the base as it is heavy! I was pleased at how quickly it arrived.

Amazing desk assembaly took about 1.5 hours
