Bush Home Saratoga Executive Desk with Drawers in Linen White Oak

Beautiful desk set

This desk is large size and was a perfect fit for my spot. Once assembled very sturdy with lots of drawers and a functional middle drawer, it took about three hours to assemble, and the directions were very detailed in all steps I work from home on a daily basis, and this will provide an excellent place to work for some time to come.

Looks great when assembled. However took 5-7 hours hours to assemble. Also, seems fragile to move. Recommend assembling on the same place where you plan to use the desk

Expect several hours to put this together.....I grew up building model cars and planes so this was right up my alley ( I didn't ask for help from the wife or kids ) Has a great look to it, heavy but still it is glued together wood shavings (partical board). I don't expect to move it so no worries. I am 6'2" so I was worried about the height, I fit!!! Even with my chair up high enough I don't have to fold my leggs to get under it. Plenty of room on the top and the black top is great accent to the wood ( I guess I should say wood color, no wood involved) I was missing 3 parts and one part was broke. Package was not damaged w/ I received it so it happened in the factory. The parts were for two drawers, so I was able to put most of it together on a Saturday, then wait for Monday to call Bush to get the replacement parts. FedEx says the shipment will be here 5 days later...Funny, while typing this, FedEx showed up with the parts.....very well packaged and doubled the parts I ordered?!?.. The desk does have heavy 3-part metal actions for the file drawers, cheaper ones for the small drawers. The one thing I would change on this: Add a hole for the electrical cords, I have went to Lowes and bought a plastic insert w/ cap for the top and near the bottom to run power cords so they aren't hanging over the side. Also got the lateral file w/ hutch and two book shelves and they match perfect, only 2 1/2 days of putting it all together (with the wife helping on the bookshelves)

very nice. I had a friend help put this together for me. He had it done i five hours. Though he said the directions were a little confusinghe figured it out…

After using this desk for three years I am satisfied with it for the price I paid. It has stayed in good condition even after one move. The exception is the trim around the desk top, it appears to be some kind of contact paper that is lifting along the front edge that comes in contact with your body from time to time as you move in and out in your chair. The company was also good to work with when the shipping company damaged the top they ended up sending me two complete tops with no questions asked. I would buy it again if I needed a good looking desk for a great price that would last me five or six years.

The instructions were very good. I expected I would need to do a lot of adjustments on the drawers but every one of them fit perfectly.

I chose a one star rating for several reasons: 1. Extremely difficult to assemble. 2. The top was warped and had to use glue and clamps to assemble. 3. The top continued to warp over the next two years, screws came loose as the top lifted. Pulled the whole desk out of alignment and the drawers wouldn't close properly. 4. The top of the desk is make out of pressed wood. The veneer is very thin and if you happen to hit it at all with your desk chair, the pressed wood underneath is exposed. Very cheap materials! 5. Had to use hot glue to secure the bottom of the middle drawer. Pencils and pens caused the bottom of the drawer to sag and caused open gaps in the back of the drawer. I paid a lot of money for this desk. Terrible, terrible product!! Recently moved and just threw the desk in the trash. Wasn't even worth donating to Good Will. Don't waste your money or your time!
