Sauder Costa L-Shaped Desk, Chalked Chestnut, Home Office with Storage & Keyboard Tray

We were doing some remodeling and wanted to upgrade my desk from the 20 year old mess I had (LOL). Since my office is in a corner of our bedroom, I also wanted to get furniture that would match my new bedroom decor. I looked long and hard and decided that this Sauder desk would match my furniture as well as offer me more storage than my previous desk. The desk looks beautiful in the corner of my bedroom and I'm really pleased. It took my husband and I a couple of hours to put together because it is big and has lots of pieces, but the directions were easy to follow and we had no trouble methodically working our way through to a finished desk. It is a very sturdy (and heavy) piece. My only complaint with the desk the keyboard drawer. There is no room for my mouse on the drawer, so I put it up on the desk surface. This quickly became annoying to go up and down with my arm. I solved the problem in a very primitive way by adding a heavy cardboard "extension arm" to my keyboard drawer so my mouse can sit to the right of my wireless keyboard. It works perfectly and nobody else sees it anyways. When I'm through working, I slide the cardboard in and push the drawer in. It is neat and tidy and even my husband is pleased with how much prettier that corner of our bedroom is than before.

This is the perfect desk! It looks amazing in my home office. It took a while to put together, but the instructions were not hard to follow. Goes faster with two people.

If you buy this desk (which I do recommend), plan to set aside several hours for setup. There are SO MANY little pieces. Inventory the pieces carefully before you start. We found one piece was incorrect (we got 3 small drawer bottoms instead of two small and one large). The seller was very willing to send out the new piece as soon as we called them but we did have to wait awhile for it to arrive. And make sure to set it up where you want it - it is VERY heavy and extremely difficult to move once built. One person can do most of the assembly but will need a little help at the very end.Once setup, it is a beautiful desk with lots of space. It is finished on all sides and and looks good from any angle. The handles and detailing add a sense of style. My monitor arm mounts clip easily as the desk top overhangs at the back of the desk. The cable management is great and it has plenty of storage. And the keyboard drawer is sturdy and holds a good size keyboard.One more note though - I wouldn't advise putting a computer in the cupboard (despite the website saying you can) as there is very little ventilation and it would likely overheat. But there is plenty of room to put one under the desk.

Love the desk, it's sturdy, good looking but no fun putting it together. some labels were missing, some screws didn't fit correctly. You need a lot of patience! but worth the investment.

So it’s definitely not easy to assemble as it takes time but the instructions are quite clear and easy to understand, unlike most.It’s the perfect desk! Tons of storage, room to write, and incredibly sturdy!Also love that it has a pull out to keep the keyboard. But I use it as storage for my laptop.😁**please don’t judge my messy workstation 😂

I looked long and hard for an L-shaped desk and matching hutch where I could have a computer setup, room to work and NO WIRES. This one fit the bill. Well constructed and pretty good quality for particle board and wood laminate construction. It looks much more expensive than it is. One word of warning. While the instructions are great and it all went together perfectly, it is not an easy undertaking. Patience is required but it will be worth it in the end.

This desk is designed so that you can install the sliding keyboard holder on either side of the desk, allowing for you to pick the proper side depending on the office set up and which side you want the monitor to sit. One side has drawers and a file cabinet for those hanging file holders. The other side, has a large bay for a desktop tower to be hidden away.Assembly of the desk was very straight forward and it's been engineered well, so it is easy to assemble. It does take time. From start to finish plan at least a couple hours for assembly.The appearance of the desk is exactly as you see it in the pictures. It looks fantastic. At this price point, with a do-it-yourself-assembled desk, you will not be disappointed. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and how my home office has come together with it.
