I have used Charlton Home before and had very good results.   This desk was a total disaster, the biggest problem being the instruction sequence.  They have you assemble the hutch and the desk with them both lying on their backs.   The result is that it is extremely difficult to stand the unit upright and very easy to damage both.  Also, once full assembled, it is difficult tp move the unit into place.  Why not assemble the desk first, move it into place, assemble the and then place the hutch on top of the desk.  I guess this is too logical.  I was very dissapointed in this product.
