“I LOVE this desk. Unlike so much furniture I have purchased online, this one met every expectation! It is so cute and contemporary, and was a breeze to put together. We were missing a part on the first desk that was shipped to us, and after contacting customer service, they replaced it at no cost to us and had it to us in under a week. I was already amazed by the responsiveness and friendliness of their staff, when I received an extra little gift in the mail thanking me for our patience! Probably the best customer service I've ever received and I'll probably try to order all the furniture I can from them because of it!”

“*Revised - Customer service did an excellent job reaching out and compensating me appropriately for this desk that I wasn't happy with! Very very cute looking desk and easy to put together, but I have the following issues with it: - It was delivered with a couple small chips in the side- not worth returning it, but annoying, although they did offer a return and new desk, which was great. -The wood seems pretty soft; it already has a ton of scratches on top that look terrible (one of them was my fault but the others I don't even know what they are from..) -The drawer is not on metal drawer sliders (just wood on wood), so it feels cheap.”

“I’m so pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Parker desk! It’s very minimal but looks and feels great. My husband loves that all the computer cords can be hidden in the open compartment. He can comfortably fit two monitors on it, maybe even 3. Plus, it was super easy to assemble - all we had to do was screw on the legs!!”

“Love it. Much more space for my monitor, etc + the drawer hides all the miscellaneous items needed for working from home. Fits in perfectly with my mid-century inspired decor.”

“I decided to purchase the Parker Desk as it was very reasonably priced for a mid century desk. I really think it’s a fairly solid option for the price and it works well in several room. A few things I did not like as much was the materiel is not amazing and marks easy and it’s deeper than I imagined and wish it was about 20 inches deep instead of the 24ish. In the end it’s a good option and i recommended it.”

“Needed a small desk for my bedroom and this desk is perfect. Great quality and easy to assemble. It’s a simple desk but exactly what I was looking for. The distressed wood goes perfect with the rest of the room.”

“I love this desk! I've had it for about a year now and have run into no trouble. Durability it great and holds all of my work-from-home items - including a iMac desktop. It was very easy to assemble (I did it solo). It looks fabulous amongst my other Nathan James items and ties in my apartment very well. Space underneath is a perfect fit for a desk chair as well. Just make sure you follow directions on instructions and don't end up like me on the first round with the holes on the wrong side! Everything is perfect!”
