American Trails Freedom USB Ports Desk, Natural Oak

Looks nice

We waited so long for this desk to be back in stock so imagine our disappointment when we got it. It’s a solid built desk but some choices were made that I just don’t understand. There is a large, very visible bit of wood borer damage to the wood that was filled in with putty. This isn’t a tiny hole that could be mistaken for a knot in the wood. This is several inches of a larvae’s former home; a winding trench that is several inches long, about 1/4” wide & filled in with putty that does not blend in seamlessly with the wood color. I understand that trees sometimes have inhabitants in their trunk & that something like this is pretty normal BUT it’s literally in the most visible spot! It’s at the edge closest to you when you are sitting at the desk - look down & there it is! Questionable choices were made here - but, why? Why in the most visible spot? The most obvious choice would’ve been to flip that side over as (as far as I can tell) the wood on the other side is perfect. Another option would’ve been to have this further away from where you sit (by the USB port) since a book or lamp would easily cover it. A desk was needed, it functions as a desk and returning it seemed like a hassle. It’s a bummer too because it fits the space beautifully and the design is the clean look we were looking for. Unfortunately that wood fill is an eyesore.

I had a different desk ordered made of MDF and then I found this desk w solid oak for not that much more money. Love the style. It was so easy to put together. My oldest son has this in his new room and is very excited about the USB ports within the desk. Honestly, it’s sturdy, stylish, easy ti put together and a reasonable price. I hate writing reviews but I was so excited about this that I had to write one. Now I’m jealous of my son who has a nicer looking desk that the diy refurbished one I redid years ago in our living room. May have to order a second desk!

This product is pretty good quality. The table was very easy to assemble, there was no screws involved, which makes it great if you move around a lot like i do. its not too heavy either. I was able to get it up a flight of stairs without any issues. I took off one star because the drawers are a little awkward sized for the table, it makes you feel like you're sitting really low for the desk. becomes hard when you are at the table for a extended period of time. but this might also be a personal preference issue. I like to sit tucked into the desk.

Solid and structure was delivered safely. Careful when moving to always pick up vs pull. Legs will dig into the carpet and pull.*My only complaint is one of the drawers is slightly off (we can fix that) plus the tracks the company used For the drawers are pretty stiff. For the cost I would have preferred a better track and a drawer that is installed Properly. Funny I seeSo Many reviews of us fixing issues we pay company’s To do right. We should probablyStop Fixing on our own and resend everything back so the company’s can build properly. 🤔

So, like many fortunate people who are required to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, I needed a desk ASAP. And I wanted one I LOVED, not just some junk from the closest store. It needed to be easy to assemble, and look good. This is perfect! I kept looking for a smaller corner desk but kept coming back to this one and I’m so glad I did. Who wants to sit in a corner for Zoom/telecon meetings?! Not me.Super Easy Assembly: Take the pieces out of the box (the desktop, one box w 4 legs, and the bag with the electric cable & USB adapters. Screw the legs in (NO TOOLS!), plug it in and you are ready to go.I also want to buy any matching pieces (end tables!!) I can.

I really like it, the color is great, it's sturdy and doesn't wobble. The drawers are smooth when you open and close them. The only problems I had with it is the card that you plug from the desk into the wall falls out of the desk pretty easily. An issue I had when I got it and was assembling it, one of the legs wouldn't screw in and I ended up having to unscrew one the wooden pieces from the dresser, screw the leg in with the wooden piece loose, then screw the wooden piece back on. Other than that, pretty good desk!

The desk was simple to assemble- just screw on the legs and plug in the desk. It is a pretty decent wood quality and it pays off in the weight of the desk. However, the drawers are a little tough to pull open, so I may need to add oil to them. Similarly, the legs make the desk wobbly and it will move side to side which has already resulted in me spilling tea everywhere after a light tap. Overall, the design is great and it charges my devices quickly. I would recommend this product but watch out for the desk's stability.
