Signature Design by Ashley Carynhurst Farmhouse 60" Home Office Desk with Drawers, Distressed White

I like Ashley Signature Products and have bought quite a few items from them over the years. Liked the finish and color of the desk. The only issue I had was that there are left legs and right legs for assembly and this unit shipped with 3 left legs and only one right leg, rendering the desk impossible to assemble. I have contacted Ashely and am hopefully getting correct legs sent out. I will update when I receive those parts. Also, packaging could be better. One corner of the box was torn and a large screw was hanging out. Apparently, rough handling broke the fastener package allowing screws to bang around the box damaging the finish in several places. Luckily, I had a Min-wax touch-up pen that fixed most spots acceptably (Shouldn't have had to though). Other spots are hidden on the back side of the product.Update: Ashley Furniture Service is on the ball. I went online on a Monday to get my desk leg issue resolved. Never talked to a real person, just looked up my desk, picked missing components, went through a "check-out" process (no cost to me) and a new complete set of 4 correct legs arrived at my door by Thursday. No hesitation, no lame troubleshooting, no questions asked. They just delivered. Hats off for the fine response. Upping my review to 5 stars, even though I did have to touch up a few spots scratched in shipping. Will definitely buy from Ashley again.

Amazing quality and easy to put together. Really brought my home office to the next level. Looks elegant in my space.

My only complaint is that they don’t make a matching lateral 2 drawer filing cabinet and the tall shelf has an open bottom with no door. They sell a printer stand, but this collection needs storage.

The desk is not distressed white - it is a distressed light gray. In addition to the distressed marks you would expect, it contained yellow marks that could be someone’s fingerprints or drops of something- that is not distressed but dirty! Also, this is the most frustrating assembly experience I have ever had, and I have been assembling furniture for over30 years. Whoever wrote the assembly instructions should be fired. Actually there was no text, just pictures full of mistakes. The pictures in the manual did not correspond to the correct parts. I spent over an hour before I realized the problem was not my understanding, but multiple mistakes in the manual. I finally just used my prior experience and common sense, without the manual, and then everything worked. However some of the screws provided were of poor quality and didn’t hold the parts together in a sturdy way. Also one of the holes was not cut properly which created a problem. Overall I would not recommend this product. It is just unfortunate that the packaging is so large and heavy that I could not return it.

This desk was more than we had expected with the sturdiness and quality. Perfect for our little den! Instructions need to be clear. We made it work. It seemed like the way we put it together we had no issues once we stopped looking at the instructions. We had cross bar issues with them not lining up and the screws not wanting to hold the piece together. So not sure why they have you put it together the way they do. Tip- try not to tighten the leg screws all the way until you have the cross bars in. This helped us with the remaining cross bars. Our desk did have a little chip but nothing i couldn’t hide.

Good size, sturdy and doesn’t appear cheap.

I dislike that Amazon can't do a simple thing as to find our office TO RETURN TO SENDER and PICK THIS UP!!!!

First order arrived damaged on the top of the desk and while assembling it by screwing in a bolt to attach a leg, the inner bolt housing tore out and it was not fixable (see first image of bolt). Had to return. Second order arrived damaged (see second image of corner of desk). Also, two pieces of rectangular wood that attach to the underside of the drawers fell off (see last two images). The desk itself is great, the quality control could use some help.

Definitely isn’t white wash. It’s grey. Box came damaged and bottom of desk damaged but that was most likely due to purolator. Also instruction are not correct. You use B & C on each leg, not B & B as instructions state. The instructions could be a bit more helpful instead of labelling things the way they did so it made assembly a bit harder. Desk is really heavy so it’s probably more of a two person job but I did it by myself and now I’m sore after lifting it. also, couldn’t get the dowels to completely fit in one so it made the screw not fully dig in as well but all in all I’m not sure how I feel about the desk yet. It’s pretty deep it’s 26 inches deep. I’m not sure if it’s taller than an average size desk but I was going for more white wash look and it’s more grey than white wash, also the top is not flat whatsoever. You would need to get a clear 1.5 to 2 mm protector mat to go over top of it. Oh no it’s a good desk but I give three stars for it being so deceiving. I’m glad I bought off Amazon though instead of from Ashley furniture because it was much more expensive from Ashley furniture. That’s why I bought it off Amazon.
