After much deliberation on how to furnish my tiny home office, I decided I wanted a solid wood desk that didn't look like computer furniture. Home Star offered other affordable solid wood styles but I chose the Country Cottage Collection because it had the lightest finish. The "whitewash" has a yellow cast which didn't bother me. I couldn't believe how pretty this desk was when it arrived. It is solid and sturdy, yet assembly couldn't be easier; simply screw on the legs and the drawer knob. My only minor complaint is I wish the drawer was wide enough to accommodate my mousepad as well as my keyboard. The drawer opening is tall enough to fit my Microsoft 4000 keyboard, which has a high wrist attachment. (The inside dimensions of the drawer are 22.75" W x 3.75" H x 15.75" D. The drawer slides out about halfway. Laid flat the drawer face adds 4" of space.)
I also purchased the side table and bookcases. Not as thrilled with the bookcases as they are a little smaller than I would have liked and they were overly fussy to put together. But if you want a matching set, what choice do you have?
The desk, however, is worth every penny (shop around!) We purchased a lot of inexpensive DIY furniture and these pieces were by far the nicest and the easiest to assemble (aside from the bookcases).
