Sauder Heritage Hill Executive Desk, Classic Cherry finish

This is a beautiful desk in the classic cherry finish. I love the black inlay in the desktop which will help avoid scars on the "wood". I found it fairly easy to assemble, the instructions were mostly very clear. I ended up not using the lock stoppers. Two drawers were hard to close at first, but after the initial "force" to get them in, they work fine now. Only twice did I need help from my husband (73) to help lift it and to help hold the drawers as I screwed the pieces together. As other customers stated - buy yourself some glue before you begin assembly. The product does not come with enough to meet the need. They really should include a small bottle. But that is an easy fix. The desk is very sturdy and it is very classy looking. I highly recommend this product. Sauder is a great company.

Beautiful desk, however mine did come with a couple problems. Putting the desk together was hard but do-able by one person. One problem was that after I built it I was unable to close one of the drawers more than half way. Apparently it was a little off one of the rails for the drawer after I put it together. I emailed and called the company, Sauder, and they were super nice and sent me a replacement rail. The other problem was that the lock wasn't turning all the way, and therefore would not work. To solve this I read that you have to make sure the drawers are *completely* closed when you try to lock it. Second problem solved. Overall a great desk in my opinion, and so so beautiful. We'll see how it stands to the test of time. And many thanks to Sauder customer service!

Nice looking desk. Heavy. Fits my 3 monitors. Instructions me areas. Not much glue included. Just the exact amount of screws so don't lose one. It was so heavy, we took the pieces out of the box on the porch and carried upstairs to assemble. One piece was slightly cracked. Not sure how with all the packaging so must have occurred at factory. Pros.. clear packaging of screws. Holes line up and fit exactly. It took a full day to put together.

Of all the furniture I've put together over the years, this one had me the most apprehensive, mainly because it's the biggest with the most parts. It's also the first Sauder product I've bought, so in spite of the positive reviews on their other products, I wasn't sure. As my star rating shows, my worries were unfounded. The desk came in two boxes due to it's size and weight - this is close to 200 lbs of furniture so it's solid. The parts in the box were well laid out and protected, and there were no scratches or cracks. For the most part, the pieces of lumber were numbered for easy identification, but for some reason a few weren't. By process of elimination, it was easy to figure out what was what, and the hardware was also pretty easy to manage - in spite of there being over 130 screws of 11 different sizes, it wasn't bad at all. It says all you'll need is a screw driver and a hammer, but I also used a rubber mallet a few times and would recommend one. Of all the furniture I've put together, this piece had the best instructions. Very well written and illustrated, and easy to follow. There were a few steps when putting the file drawers together that I had to intuitively figure things out, but it was nothing major. Though I put this together by myself, I would recommend having someone help, if for no other step than when you have to flip it right-side up. Overall it took me almost six hours to finish. I've been using the finished product for a week now and am very pleased. It's looks great and has a very solid feel. The drawers slide out well and are smooth, and the edges where pieces meet are flush. If there was one quibble I have it would be the keyboard drawer - when you flip open the front, it doesn't slide out of the way, which puts me further from the keyboard than I prefer. Still, an excellent value, and I've since ordered a Sauder bookcase to go with it.

I love my new desk! It's everything expected and more! Classy, sturdy, beautiful.

This is a fabulous desk and is well worth the price! The look of the desk is awesome and others will compliment you many times over for the purchase of it. Here are a few things to keep in mind: (1) The desk is heavy to have the delivery people to put it where it will be assembled (2) It is important to put the desk pieces and screws in alphabetical order (3) Have 2 people for assembly (4) Follow drawings closely (5) Drawer handles must face you (6) Assemble and insert drawers correctly (7) Have drill AND screwdriver handy (8) There is a small, black (almost triangular) drawer release lever on the metal rods of BOTH sides of drawers if you've put a drawer in the wrong drawer slot. Press BOTH release levers up or down and pull out the drawer (9) If a drawer won't go in, it most likely means that you have assembled the drawer backwards. You can easily correct this. I like this purchase and will highly recommend it!!.

The engineered wood desk had poor quality. The drawers are unsteady. The desk is not painted. The very thin (less than 1 mm) paper is glued to its surface, it is easily scratched and torn. Due to its bad quality the desk is obviously overpriced.

This desk has several features that I had not paid attention to before I bought it. Drawer depth is enough to accommodate file standard files. The top finish is easily cleaned using a commercial aerosol furniture care product. (SC Johnson -Favor Lemon furniture polish). The lower drawer on left pedestal has a locking feature with key. Center of top has a gang port for computer and other electronics connections. Desk assembly was a little difficult. Screws on the drawer assemblies would extended too far into the drawer glide space making it difficult to close. About 20 minutes of adjusting the assembly and everything works as expected. I am very pleased with the product and the sale price.

I got this desk on sale, so I have to be straight up front about that. For a $350 desk, this thing is excellent. Its heavy, big, and sturdy. The instructions top notch. I put this together myself in about 2 hours, farting around. As in, I didn't rush it, just took my time. Ikea could learn a thing or two from Sauder on this. Finish seems to be holding up well, no scuffs et. What I thought was a nice touch, touch up paint comes with it, and little usb thumb drive size. Drawers feel strong and solid. Slides perfect, with no sagging. Boxing and shipping was perfect, nicely protected, which was my biggest fear. Could you imagine trying to rebox this thing up to send back? Overall, you can't go wrong with this.

Todo bien.pero una de las piezas llegó con Daños. Hay forma de hace devolución únicamente de una pieza?

I have dealt with Sauder for a long time and like every other product I rate Sauder AAA. Everything went perfectly. Instructions were super ,never confusing . Parts fit was unbelievably accurate. Beautiful desk. The only thing that didn't was the furniture touchup Pen. It was completely dry. Maybe if they read this they will send me a new pen.

Very good but consumed lots of time to assembled

I had to wait for a while for it to be delivered but, it was well worth the wait.Its a really nice piece of furniture, I was a little wary about putting it together so I asked a friend of my sons to do it. It only took him 2 1/2 hrs and he was most impressed with the building instructions .He said that they were very straight forward and who ever wrote them has a good sense of humor. He even had a snack when he was told to :)
