NICE sturdy hutch!

I love this hutch and especially the price! I purchased the desk too. It was much easier to put together than it was the desk. Only problem is you have to drill additional holes to attach the hutch to the desk. The hutch is so heavy, it sits up there by itself. Only way it will fall is if someone pushes it. I will eventually get someone to attach it properly. Overall, a great piece of furniture for the price. I work from home and I needed a desk and hutch to set up in my bedroom so it fits perfect and love the open slots at the top of hutch to store papers, what-nots, etc. I actually left the right door off desk to house my CPU and router so they can breath. Go to Walmart and purchase both parts. You will not be disappointed. Except for the...

Mismanufactured

I ordered the desk and hutch. The desk had 12 of 19 pieces damaged. I spent a couple days resolving that. Then I went to build the hutch. At first it looked like things were great. All the pieces were in very good condition. I spent over an hour building this hutch and when I when to put the top on, it was misdrilled. I called Ameriwood, they are replacing it, but again...7-14 days to replace the part. They are seriously ridiculous in how they solve problems and how they leave their "valued" customers hanging from mistakes they made.

    Just Right

    I was shopping, comparing every store online for a computer desk. It has taken me 4 months to decide and I am thankful I got this one. It is just the right size I needed for a home office. It has one filling cabinet for my files which is all I need, a little drawer for my address book, and note pads. It is large enough to put my large printer on top next to the monitor. It took me several hours, well 3 days, since I only did a little at a time. They came in two packages, very heavy. Since it was delivered right to my door, inside our porch, I opened the box outside and took the pieces in and assembled them that way. The instructions were very clear. All the parts were there and they were packed really good. Since I got the desk first and th...

    I like it.

    I had trouble putting it together part of the wood on the back was a little long but I fixed it so I could get it together. Once I put it on the desk it looks really nice I have room for my photo and printing paper. I left the backing off didn't like the cardboard wood grain, but I really like it off it leaves it open so I can see my wall so that's all good. I just wish they had the wood grain stickers to cover up the hardware but I'm still happy with it and it looks nice in my office area.

    not to my expectations

    I was not too impressed with my new desk and hutch...first the color is deceiving in the picture that is shown...it is darker than expected...it shows if it is a lighter oak colour but it is more like a reddish walnut colour....the drawers or should I say drawer....in the picture looks deceiving because it looks like you get two drawers not one and a storage cupboard....I had bought the unit because of the drawers!...then comes the set up....it took two of us 6 hours to put the desk and hutch together....there are too many little pieces.....it should be easier to put together! The pull out keyboard is too narrow and you have trouble putting your keyboard and your mouse side by side....It is very sturdy and I am sure it will last a long time...

    Great to bundle with desk

    I bought the bundle computer desk and hutch in the darker finish. The Hutch was pretty easy to put together, it looks great with the desk, the only negative is the backing is super thin pressed wood, it barely fits aross the back and is not 100% . It could be even 1/2 inch wider and would have been perfect. Still looks great overall, not that noticable unless you are right up to it.

    Great Piece for Assembly

    The folks who designed and built the pieces for assembly did a great job! Everything fit together very well. All the holes, corners and edges lined up great when we finished assembling. My only complaint is that we ordered both the hutch and the desk together. No where in the instructions could we find to assemble the hutch first. Would've made overall assembly a little bit easier. Overall, still a good product. I would recommend.

    not without flaws

    The hutch is beautiful and provides additional storage for CDS and such. The problem I found is that not all of the pre-drilled holes lined up when it came to adding the decorative moldings. Despite my best efforts I have some major gaps where the molding edges meet up. It's not bad for the price though.

    Shipping not recommended!

    I was really looking forward to the desk and hutch. The only thing was both were broken during shipping. One was shipped UPS and the other Fed-ex. The items were very heavy and seemed to have been tossed around. To bad you can't buy them in the store.

    A NIGHTMARE

    Just a few of the problems we ran into. The drawers do not align, they rub when you try to open them. The drawer guide would not allow the drawer to open all the way. The drawer handle predrilled holes make the handle crooked. The storage door hinges predrilled holes were too low so the door will not close. It is a long job to assemble the desk. It took my husband and a friend about 8 hours. The back of the desk is cardboard. The top table part of the desk is in two "slices" not one solid peice. Really disappointing and frustrating. I called Ameriwood ,the manufacturer and they were very friendly, and told me they would send me the door and drawer fronts and were very sorry for the trouble we had, but that is all they could do GREAT! Now I...

    Great add-on

    The hutch is a great feature. It should be assembled by 2 people, as it is too easy to crack when putting the top on it! It looks like a much better piece of furniture than it actually is, when it is finished.

    Great desk/hutch for the price

    I was worried about the quality of the desk and hutch based on the price, but knew I could return it to the store....it was great! Fairly high quality especially for the reasonable price. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

    Nice price

    you get what you pay for here. It's nothing special but it's very serviceable and does what we need it to do... If we didn't live on a budget this would not have been what I would have bought.

    GREAT HUTCH ONCE PUT TOGETHER

    AS I QUOTED IN MY OTHER REVIEW ABOUT THE DESK TO THIS HUTCH, THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY POORLY DESIGNED. I MAINLY HAD TO GUESS AND USE LOGIC ABOUT WHERE THING'S HAD TO GO OR BE PUT TOGETHER CAUSE WHEN I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS I HAD TO TAKE STUFF BACK APART SO THAT'S WHY I CHOSE TO DO IT WITHOUT THE INSTRUCTIONS. BUT ONCE IT'S TOGETHER IT'S NICE AND STURDY, YOU WILL NEED A SECOND PERSON TO HELP PLACE IT ON THE DESK CAUSE IT'S VERY HEAVY LIKE THE DESK IS AS WELL.

    Ok, if you don't brush against it .

    The looks of the hutch aren't bad, but the finish is so cheap that if you touch the corners, or anywhere on the surface without being extremely careful, the finish comes off and you see white board beneath the finish. Shame when you pay the money, take the time to put it together and you have to use a black permanent magic marker to cover up the finish. Not at all satisfied.

    Missing peice

    I bought the hutch to go with the desk but didn't know that to attach the hutch to the desk I would need a drill and make holes in the desk top before putting the desk together. Then when I put the hutch together I found I was missing a cap screw but since it was saturday night and not one was open I tried to put it together anyway and broke the hutch so I had to rig it the best way I could and just have the hutch sitting on top of the desk.

    Difficult to set up

    Product came in two separate shipments a couple days apart. The directions were not the easiest to understand and you could only set up the base to a certain step then had to wait for the second shipment to arrive. Parts were not labeled very well! Would not pay this much money again for there products!

    Hutch is great companion for desk.

    This hutch looks great with the matching desk and is very large and has lots of storage room in the cubbies. My husband loved this desk/hutch once we got both peices assembled! Does not take long for the hutch to be assembled but desk does take more time than states, but is worth it. Hutch is very durable and is substantial size.

    My table

    The product is very cheap quality material.. when you screw it tightly the board comes off along the margins.The assembly takes too long and the parts they provide has some parts missing in the box. Also the finishing of the table is not good as it comes with scratches and other marks

    Looks good for cheap furiture.

    First off, if you are buying this in the bundle that includes the desk, assemble the hutch FIRST, otherwise you will have disassemble the top half of your desk, and quite probably damage it. No mention of this in desk instructions, but mentions it in hutch instructions. USE TWO PEOPLE when attaching to desk top, or be sorry. Will take quite a while to assemble, mucho parts. It SEEMS sturdy enough, but is cheap quality particle board, and the laminate is quite cheap also. hutch came well packaged, with many minor scars around edges to laminate...not real noticeable, but an indication of what is to come with actual use. OK for a "spare room" piece that won't get used much...I doubt it will hold up well to every day use. If used on a daily bas...
