Winsome Studio Home Office, End Table, Honey

Great table and a welcome extension of my desktop - more horizontal space always welcome.

Needing more desk space I’ve been considering this desk for a while now but didn’t want to buy it because of the price. There are cheaper printer stands out there, but this is one of the few that matches my desk’s size and finish. I ended up buying it this Christmas when my wife told me to order it for myself as a present. Like most pieces of utility furniture you buy these days this stand arrives unassembled. I’m sure most of you have had some experience with desks and bookshelves that have anywhere from 6 to a dozen assembly steps detailed with poorly written/translated assembly instructions. This printer stand is not like that. It comes in six main pieces: the four legs, the top of the desk and the lower shelf. I didn’t have to assemble the sliding drawer – it was already assembled and installed in its place. All I had to do was attach the four legs, push in four pegs for the shelf and install the drawer knob. The hardware includes a wrench for attaching the legs. It does the job, but I wanted to use something better. Funny thing is that it took longer for me to find my tools than it did to put the stand together. On to the quality – when I had a look at the pieces I understood the price. This is not laminated particleboard or MDF material. This is solid wood construction. The stand is sturdy, everything lined up perfectly during assembly, and it has a nice finish. If they make a desk the same size as what I have now I’d seriously consider ordering one of those as well.

It arrived in perfect condition! Quality construction. Easy assembly. I only referred to the instructions once (to confirm which legs were for the front-left and right) but the overall assembly was so simple that a 10-year-old could manage it. Small tightening wrench was included. Only needed a small Phillips screwdriver to attach the drawer knob. --- Not a single scrap of MDF or pressboard or particle-board. It is indeed SOLID WOOD through and through. We are VERY PLEASED with this purchase. The only thing we added were self-adhesive, 1" diameter felt pads on the bottom of each leg. (Wood-legs on wood-floors is not a good combination.) The base shelf is removable and rests on four metal "shelf-pins" that are inserted into each leg. Even though the center of the shelf is 1/8" plywood, the side (framing) pieces are solid wood, and it's sturdy enough to hold a small (12-bottle) Wine Enthusiast wine-bottle cooler. Only one minor improvement could have been made. And this is a nit-picky criticism on my part... the plywood base was attached to the solid-wood frame with tiny finishing nails that were "hammered-in" with a nail-gun. Each nail was perfectly positioned, but the head of each nail is below the surface level of the wood. --- This "defect" in workmanship is only due to the assembly-line nature of this type of furniture and would only bother the most critical person. For our purposes, the wine cooler that we've placed on the bottom shelf completely hides the nail heads, so I'm not worried about it. However, if we were using this table for any other purpose, I'd get some matching Minwax wood filler putty and dab it into the small nail-head holes. Again, they're so small that the only person who's likely to notice is YOU (but only because you put it together)... but from a normal viewing distance, NOBODY else would notice. We anticipate needing other small tables and cases for our home, and the Winsome brand will be our FIRST choice when shopping again.

Was looking for a well-built, well-priced printer stand and this one is both. Love the design and color and it holds my large printer with no problems. Was easy to build and is very sturdy.

Sturdy, functional, and solid. Matches other Winsome studio office furniture with honey finish. I now have five pieces of this series of furniture, and have been very happy with them. They are not fine furniture, but have some nice design features like slightly tapered legs and beveled edges to the tops. Sort of mid-century school library with a style that will not look out of place in many homes. Winsome also has an arts and crafts style series of furniture that I like, but they weren't the best fit for my current location. This table and other pieces in this series are nicely finished. The honey finish is just right for my taste - not too dark, but also doesn't look like unfinished wood. The finish is fine on the exposed sides of the furniture, although a little less satiny on unexposed surfaces. The construction is almost all solid wood. Rather than large boards, some have been boards have been joined from smaller boards - but still solid. The drawer bottoms are not wood - probably for the best. On this piece, the drawer runs on a wooden guide, a little sticky, but similar to some vintage furniture that I own. The drawer is smallish, but useful, for example, for small ink cartridges, extra cables, and a box of paperclips (have the Winsome drawer/file cabinet for bigger items). Was very easy to assemble - I like that it uses real screws and bolts. All in all, a nice appearance, sturdy, functional, and a great value for money.
