drawers don't glide well
March 6, 2011
This is a handsome looking desk, but the drawer glides are really bad. It's hard for me to open the drawers, forget about my son. They're just off. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy it, which is too bad. It's so cute.

Timeless desk
February 3, 2011
The desk is very solid, size is completely enough for a kid, great quality. You only have to check for damages like hacks or scratches. Ours had that, but the service was great and they replaced it promptly. And what I didn't like was the desk coming in three different packages on three different days. Construction was easy and now we are happy to have it :)

Disappointed
January 26, 2011
I am a huge fan of Pottery Barn products, but this desk has not met the mark. The drawers, especially the file drawer, are difficult to operate -- they do not run smoothly on the tracks and they are very difficult to shut and open. Lastly, the color we choose has a definite orange tinge, which we were not expecting, and the wood is very soft and susceptible to marks and dents.

School Desks

This classic desk is of high quality and it is the perfect size. It has the good storage space for kids to organize their work. I bought one in white for my daughter and one in expresso for my son. Both my kids love their desks and they can't wait to come from school and start working on their projects. My husband is thrilled to see the kids work in their own study space. My friends absolutely love the classic look and they are very impressed by the high quality of the desks. Can't wait to buy my next piece of furniture from here! My own desk :)

Schoolhouse Desk And Hutch
October 5, 2010
Tools required to put together. Assembly fairly easy however before you attach hutch be sure you have file drawers exactly how you want them. They can be flush with desk or sit back and have a lip above them. We bought 2 desk and accidently attach one hutch differently not realizing they are adjustable by flipping desk top forward or backwards. Once you attach hutch there is no going back. They are well made and look great.

Big and handsome

We ordered the desk with one file pedestal and hutch and were pleased with what arrived: Solid construction, assembled in a couple of hours (with distractions). The style and sizing makes it a bit big and serious for a young child's room--we're using it in our shared family office, and it looks fantastic. So far functionality is just fine.
