My son loves it
October 26, 2011
My son has a very small bedroom and this was the largest desk that we thought would fit comfortably; it is just right in the width and not so deep as to take up a ton of floor space. The chestnut color wood finish is beautiful and although it's a bit darker than his Sun Valley Honey bed and dresser, it looks right at home next to it.
Assembly was pretty easy, that is, once I went and found the assembly directions for the desk on the website (they were not with the desk hardware). The hutch was easily attached as well, but if someone were to try and move the desk by grabbing the hutch, the four small screws would probably pull out.

Perfect Desk

My daughter just celebrated her 16th birthday and a remake of her room was a birthday gift. She absolutely loves the Beadboard desk that goes with her new MAC laptop. Just need to get the perfect chair to go with it!

Nice addition
April 15, 2011
Finally got the desk! We had a few issues with the company that delivered it. (logistics). It's a nice addition to my daughter's room. It has way more storage than that other thing she was using as a desk. Plus we love the power strip to charge all of her electronics! Finally a place to put all the cords! I think this desk will be exactly what she needs!

Beadboard Desk
October 5, 2010
Hmm...
Nice desk, small, put together with screws and glue. Clean. $500 plus $75 handling charge plus $50 Delivery Fee plus $50 for tax. $675 for this desk. If my daughter didn't scream upon delivery, this thing would go right back. Nice desk, horrible value.

Bought this to replace a hutch that took up my daughters whole desk and was not able to do homework. With this new hutch, it's like having a new desk and there is so much space! The design is simple but sturdy!

Perfect desk
September 1, 2010
My daughter, who started middle school this year, needed a desk for her room that would fit in a very small space. This desk was perfect! It is narrow enough for the space, but still has cabinet storage WITH a power strip inside for laptop, lamp, etc. The drawer is ample-sized and the corkboard is a great addition for important papers, mementos, etc. The quality is very good and the white glove delivery was fantastic. Thanks Pottery Barn Teen....you thought of everything!!

Some faults but still nice
August 24, 2010
As the first reviewer mentioned, it is true that the desktop is not attached to the desk. However, I found this useful because my chair scratched one side of the desktop and I could easily flip it the the other side. The first drawer can, indeed, be pushed in very far but it isn't difficult to put it in the right spot and I have never accidentally hit the other wall. It would be nice to be on gliders, though. The one problem I have experienced with this is that I keep my computer monitor in the cabinet and in order for the screen wires and things to be on the desktop is to leave the door ajar, and it is a bit annoying to have the door open. I took out the handle of the back cabinet so I could put it closer to the wall. But the thing is, if that really bothered me then I could easily screw out the back door. It doesn't really bother me, though.

Looks can be deceiving
August 20, 2010
Purchased multiple pieces from the Beadboard collection. Was happy with quality. When the desks arrived, very surprized that the quality was so poor. The drawers are bizarre. If pushed forward, they can hit your wall. There are no rails on the drawer, they slide across the bare wood, with a slim piece of felt tape as the only guard against scatching the unit. There is an electric strip inside the cabinet, but no way to access it without drilling a hole. This collection has a white color that is difficult to match, so options are limited. The hutch is cute, and the size of the unit is perfect, but I would think twice before purchasing.

My daughters desk
August 14, 2010
My daughters room does not have a lot of wall space. This desk was the perfect size. The hutch was easy to attach to the desk. She loves the bulletin board.

POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!!!!
August 13, 2010
This product is cheaply made and poorly designed. The desktop does not attach to the desk body. If you place a heavy object near the desktop edge or lean on it the desktop can pop up. The drawer is simply a box inserted into an opening, not on gliders. Since the drawer is "reversible" if you push the drawer in too far, it pops out the back, potentially damaging your wall. You must be very careful when closing the drawer that it is flush with the front of the desk and not pushed in too far. Lastly, the cabinet storage area has a front door AND a back door due to the reversibility of the product. When plugging a laptop, for example, into the outlets inside the cabinet, the only way to run the cord up to the laptop on the desktop is to run it out the back door, thereby leaving the back door ajar. So you can't putsh the desk against the wall and dust and dirt will gather inside the cabinet storage area.
I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS BEFORE ORDERING THIS PIECE.
