Q: What is the top of the desk made out of? Is it wood or wood veneer? The description says metal construction but is that just the base or the whole desk?
A: The veneer top is durable as long as you take care of it appropriately. It wipes up easily and I make sure to keep it dry, as it is a veneer. Overall I love this desk!
submitted bymnloving - 8 years agoA: It’s particle board. Not durable at all.
submitted byKc - 4 years agoA: Hi Max - Thanks for asking. The top part of this desk is made of wood with a paper veneer. You can find more useful information by clicking Show More in the item details. Have a great day! - Nathalie
submitted byNathalie - 8 years agoTarget staff supportA: Be VERY careful about putting anything wet on the surface. It was start to buckle. I put a damp glass on the surface and it left a raised ring on the surface.

Q: Does this desk have a chemical smell? Or does it arrive with little or no smell?

Q: How much assembly is required? How much skill is needed?
A: easy assembly tool 20 minutes
submitted byMy desk - 2 years agoA: Very little skill necessary. The entire top/wood part comes already assembled, all you have to do is attach the legs with the screws included. You can do this manually with a screwdriver, but I used a power drill and it was much faster!
submitted byMeghan147 - 8 years agoA: It's very easy to assemble. You attach the metal legs and stand part to the already assembled desk/drawer area. Probably took me less than 10 minutes to fully assemble.

Q: Does this desk come built or do we build it ourselves?
A: Hi Sharon - This stylish desk does require some assembly, but you just need a screwdriver to get it ready to complete your home office. Thanks for reaching out. - Mark
submitted byMark - 4 years agoTarget staff supportA: The desk body itself is pre-built, even the drawers. You only need to assemble the metal frame and place the desk on top. Took us 15 minutes start to finish and that includes cleaning up the packing materials. We used a drill instead of the allen key.

Q: Can you hide the attached cord when it isn't being used? It doesn't show up in any of the photos.
A: No. Once you place the receptacle end of the extension into the desk the plug end hangs out the bottom. There is no way to store it or put it back into the extension cubby.
submitted bySusanB - 4 years agoA: Hi Cheryl – Thanks for viewing our home office furniture! This writing desk has 2 outlets and 2 USP ports in a cubby along the back of the desk. This will allow you to plug in an electric cord or use the port for charging your phone or laptop. Once you plug in your cord, you won’t be able to hide it. Thanks for dropping by. – Anita

Q: Where does the power cord run from? The desk top or the leg of the desk?
A: Hi TriciaAnn - The power cord measures 8'6" and runs out the back of the desk. Thanks for shopping Target! - Philip

Q: Can you paint the desk? If I were to paint it black would the wood grain show and make it more of a black wood stain or would it completely cover it?
A: It has a wood-grain texture to it, but seems like a paper veneer that wouldn't take paint well, especially since I've read here that some people put a drink on it and the condensation made it buckle. Get a coaster too.
submitted bySusanB - 4 years agoA: Hi Lopez -Thanks for browsing our home office furniture selection! I'm glad you found a desk you're interested in. We recommend that it be enjoyed in it's original packaged form. We're glad you dropped by! - Dante
