Signature Design by Ashley Baldridge Rustic Home Office Desk, Distressed Brown

Absolutely love the desk. It looks great and is the drawers and size make it really functional. I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing it and was a little skeptical due to some of the negative comments, but all in all it’s been great. I will agree with the fact that lining up some of the holes/bolts during assembly is a challenge, but if you don’t tighten things down all the way it makes it easier to assemble and then tighten up once each section is connected.I’d recommend it, especially for the price.

Arrived before expected delivery date. Box was in good condition, all pieces secured with styrofoam and cardboard. A small scuff mark on one corner of the desk, not worth repacking and returning. Found many items in stores for more money and they felt like plastic. This feels like wood and is very solid. Drawers are on metal glides and open and close nicely. Happy with my purchase.

Size, function, and appearance is a five star review. I knock it one star because the threaded screws for the cross bars are a total miss. They were neither long enough or aggressively threaded enough to make a good lock up through the joints on an angle. I swapped them for a hex head fence/deck screw that fit the bill and made the grab. Stunning looking for the price.

I like Ashley Signature Products and have bought quite a few items from them over the years. Liked the finish and color of the desk. The only issue I had was that there are left legs and right legs for assembly and this unit shipped with 3 left legs and only one right leg, rendering the desk impossible to assemble. I have contacted Ashely and am hopefully getting correct legs sent out. I will update when I receive those parts. Also, packaging could be better. One corner of the box was torn and a large screw was hanging out. Apparently, rough handling broke the fastener package allowing screws to bang around the box damaging the finish in several places. Luckily, I had a Min-wax touch-up pen that fixed most spots acceptably (Shouldn't have had to though). Other spots are hidden on the back side of the product.Update: Ashley Furniture Service is on the ball. I went online on a Monday to get my desk leg issue resolved. Never talked to a real person, just looked up my desk, picked missing components, went through a "check-out" process (no cost to me) and a new complete set of 4 correct legs arrived at my door by Thursday. No hesitation, no lame troubleshooting, no questions asked. They just delivered. Hats off for the fine response. Upping my review to 5 stars, even though I did have to touch up a few spots scratched in shipping. Will definitely buy from Ashley again.

None of the assembly hardware fit right. Everything had to be reinforced with additional hardware. Very poor quality item. I would not recommend this product.

It’s a beautiful and solid desk but it came with pretty bad damage

I love, love, love this desk. It looks good in my space. I mainly bought it for shooting videos and its rim design allows me to attach mounts for my camera. It’s relatively easy to assemble but you won’t have to do so from scratch. The desk and draws already come assembled. All you have to do is attach the legs and supports.

Beautiful desk. Two smooth drawers. Bought matching bookcase and printer cart. I don’t usually write reviews but these are great pieces and dark wood tone is beautiful. I saw in a local furniture store and Amazon price was less!
