Question: How close is the color to what is pictured? Is it a darker espresso like other Dorel Asia espresso furniture?
Document: I want to begin by saying that this desk is exactly what I am looking for: the color, the size, the functionality. Halfway through the build, found 1 crucial missing part labeled &#34;J&#34; (and one extra part &#34;L&#34;) + 3 damaged parts (veneer/finish crack). Emailed Dorel Asia customer service got a reply initially apologizing for the inconvenience and parts will be sent via UPS within 1 week.
I had to send this desk back because there were so many manufacturer's defects plus damage from poor packaging. Dorel Asia gave me the runaround about getting replacement pieces so I shipped it back. They have very poor customer service.Save yourself a headache and don't order this.
I have been using a hand built drafting table for the last year and was experiencing some pretty negative effects on my back. The table was too low so my posture was terrible while drawing. I decided to check out drafting tables online and found The Dorel Asia... it arrived with all necessary pieces and very easy instructions. The table was in perfect condition when it arrived - no damage occurred during shipping.I sat at that table for 8 hours last week and absolutely loved it.
I absolutely love this desk. It's actually nicer than I expected it to be! The color is richer than in the photo (so it's more like cherry colored), which I love even more. The downside--it took about 2 hours to build. & it's also very tall. But I didn't check the dimensions before I ordered it.Great buy! Highly recommended =)
With my old desk I would always have to use a tv tray to keep my supplies next to me. I also frequently keep my laptop on it, and books open for easy reference. Another huge draw was the price. &#34;Professional&#34; Cartooning desks can run in the high hundreds, even thousands.I loved the fact also that is not designed to look like a typical art desk. Its color and design are more like to match a home decor.
(its mid January as I am writing this)  Not acceptable. I've tried really hard to like this product but ultimately I will be disassembling the parts of the table that I have built already and ship it back to Amazon. Did not want to risk going through the same process to exchange for a new desk and have the same parts missing. What a waste of time. The quality is slightly lower than Ikea's. Though I should comment that Dorel Asia's customer service respond to their emails quickly.
Needed something interim to get my 7' hubby away from the breakfst table. This works well until i can get a custom made counter height full desk for an accountant.Assembly time, about an hour. Nice color and look!
I love my desk. There was an issue with a part being cracked, but Dorel took care of it with no questions asked. Now my desk is built and it is amazing!
2 people. 2 hours. This is not a desk, but a jigsaw puzzle. But, the price is right, and the result is beautiful!When I pulled the pieces out of the box, my father's and mother's jaws just dropped. Now, they've assembled loads of things over the courses of their lives, but this... They told me it had to be the most pieces they'd ever seen in terms of furniture they'd had to assemble.
I hope most of you reading this never buy furniture. I sold furniture at two companies. One was a national brand, the other featured furniture from all the major furniture brands. Most of you have purchased furniture (unless you have solid oak or mahogany) that is not on par with the quality of pressed wood then this drafting table.You know the quality the minute you pick up the box.
Answer: The colore is spot on.  its a well built piece of furniture.  my daughter loves it.  but it does require assembly.  nothing hard, just tedious.
