Expected better for the price & from PB!
September 13, 2011
This desk has a very nice silhouette which is feminine, modern. However the finish details are less than what I expect from the PB brand. 1) Inaccurate Dimensions- overall footprint is larger than specified (actual 49" w x 27.75" d x 31" h) The 2+" deeper dimension was a problem & deal breaker for a smaller space. 2) Inaccurate Color- it's creamy butter not the cool white shown. Slightly chalky feeling finish seems cheap & makes it more shabby chic than fresh & hip. 3) Construction was just fair- Sloppy seams at the detail areas, under side of the desk is rather rough/splintery. Disappointing because it is a great design.

Great desk!
September 6, 2011
This desk is exactly what we were looking for. It's stylish, well made & a welcome addition to my daughter's room. Only caveat: I wish the instructions were better written. It was not clear how to install the legs, and took us a bit of maneurving to figure out how to remove the drawer pulls so we could screw the legs in. This wasn't addressed at all in the instructions.
Overall, a great purchase!

Lovely desk
August 10, 2011
My 9 y/o daughter loves her new desk. It is a nice size and the drawers are a great feature to hide all the school supplies she has. Definitely a good value. The desk came a little scuffed, but it isn't too noticeable, hence the 4 stars. Other than that, it is really nice.

Love the Desk & Hutch
June 14, 2011
Yes my daughter and I truly love the french-styled Lilac desk & hutch. Bought sight unseen, I relied on Pottery Barn's reputation and they didn't disappoint. The construction is impeccable, the delivery was speedy. My daughter wishes the "antiqued-stress" marks weren't soooo stressed. Definitely worth the price!

Lilac Desk
June 4, 2011
Quality of the desk is great and it was very easy to assemble. Item arrived quickly. Only negative thing pertained to the shipping. I did not know the desk was shipped UPS and that I would not receive a call before it arrived. Came home at 6:30 pm to find VERY large box sitting at my back door. Had to call a neighbor to help me move it into the house. Good thing I was not on vacation.

Love this desk!
May 14, 2011
I finally got my parents to buy me this desk and hutch a couple of months ago. I LOVE it!! It looks great in my room, and is a perfect hight for doing homework. The only thing I didn't like about the desk was that it was really hard to get up the stairs, even with my dad and brother trying to get it up, and it took my dad a really long time to put it together.

Needed help attaching legs
April 11, 2011
Legs took awhile to get attached, but beautiful desk once finished. It seems as though it had just been painted because we smelled paint fumes coming from the piece for about 5 days. My 12-yr old loves it and uses it every night for homework!

drawer won't open
April 2, 2011
The middle drawer of mine won't open either, like an earlier person said. They are replacing the entire desk. The other drawers do come out, but you have to use a good amount of force.

My Favorite Desk
March 14, 2011
This is the perfect desk for a young girl's bedroom....the curved legs add to the feminine theme of the room and it matches the other furniture to a "T".....we are more than satisfied......

Not to girly.
February 21, 2011
At first, I saw this and liked it but thought it was too girly. I'm more of a tom boy, but wanted my new room to be elegant and calming. This was perfect---the legs do look kinda weird in the pict. but in real life they're beautiful! I recommend this to ALL teens!

Very Satisfied Picky Shopper
December 25, 2010
This desk was so easy to put together and the quality is excellent! It took my husband less than 30 minutes to assemble it. He only had to remove the side drawers to screw on the legs. I purchased this for my daughter who will be eleven shortly and she is very happy with it. I like it because I was apprehensive about paying so much for a desk for my daughter, but the desk is very solid in construction. The design is timeless and I think with both of those things combined that we have got ourselves a life long furniture piece!
