Comments about South Shore Element 48" W Desk in Chocolate:
I love the look of the desk, and the drawers on the side were the main selling point for me. I like that they can be installed on either side. The desk is very heavy (100+lbs), which is great for durability (I use it every day) and horrible for having to move it. I live on the second floor and had to open the box downstairs and carry pieces up in about 5 trips. The other thing that instantly annoyed me was the packaging. The Styrofoam basically disintegrated inside the box, leaving little statically charged balls of Styrofoam all over EVERYTHING. I'm still finding pieces around my apartment 2 months later. The assembly took a couple hours; some parts of the directions were great and others weren't very clear. At least there were no missing parts. So, it's a good desk, but make sure you know how heavy it is and have some time set aside for assembly. It'd be great if they could fix the packaging issue, too.

Comments about South Shore Element 48" W Desk in Chocolate:
I use this desk in my home office and I love it!
It arrived on time, and although assembly was time consuming, it was not difficult.
It is big enough for my laptop with space left for a book or notebook.
The only thing I do not like are the fingerprints everywhere. Simply touching the surface will leave a fingerprint and is quite annoying.
All in all, I am very happy with this desk :)
Service and delivery comments:
I was not happy with the delivery, it arrived via FedEx and was left at the front door. There was nothing to sign to make sure I was recieving the correct item, or to make sure it was in good condition. It was left leaning on the wall next to the front door and sat out there all day from 9am until I got home around 7pm.

Desk arrived in basically perfect condition, it is very modern looking and not cheap looking AT ALL- as that was one of my biggest concerns. It is in fact elegant. I highly recommend it!

Comments about South Shore Element 48" W Desk in Chocolate:
I wanted to use a closet as a mini office nook. The desk was the right size and it looks great. Real quality product. The only down-side is that while assembly was not hard at all, it did take a a few hours as there are a lot of pieces and I'm not particularly quick at this kind of thing. The instructions were very clear. Anyway, the desk looks great, and the price is pretty low.

Comments about South Shore Element 48" W Desk in Chocolate:
Despite what the box says, it is NOT easy to assemble... it is quite time consuming and REQUIRES 2 people, a drill, and plenty of patience. Instructions are not 100% accurate. Still, with the price and [...]finally the way it looked and works, I am pleased and would recommend the product to a friend with similar needs and finances.
