Comments about Powell Furniture MasterpieceWood Hunt Writing Desk in Faux Mahogany:

I needed a nice looking table for my home office, which wouldn't turn my living room into something official "office-style" look. I didn't need anything except for a desk where I can put my laptop on. No useless keyboard holders and shelves "for PC box". Just laptop table.

Then I saw this table on the site and loved it immediately. However, when they brought it finally (took an age, but that's OK), it was even better than o the picture! It took me about 15 minutes to assemble it alone. You immediately feel how solid all the materials are, and how well they fit together. I think the whole thing is real wood, or at least most of it, and it really feels like it.

This desk has VERY special finishing and "hand made" feel - I especially love dark gold insertions. And on the top it has 3 glass insertions which again look like gold hand-paint - just AMAZING.

The price, although seems high, is fair or probably even less than what I would expect for this piece-of-art of furniture.

The only con's I may need notice:
- if you need large drawer space for junk - this table is not for you. There is 3 drawers, but they're super small. Middle drawer can fit A4 paper sheets if needed, which is quite handy. Documents - yes, but that' it.
- Glass insertions on the top didn't fit exactly on right and left, so the surface won't be exactly flat. It may disturb your shoulders a little. I don't know is it a defect or something they intentionally did- perhaps to be able to remove insertions easier, I don't know.
- Do not buy a chair with handles, it won't fit. The idea is to rest your shoulders right on the desk sides - that's why it's made round. It is very convenient, given that your chair will fit in the middle - that's why you don't need handles for it
- If you plan to use this table in your bedroom, once you will receive it, you will understand that there is no way you will hide such a nice piece upstairs. So plan to use it in your living room or office - if you have one, NOT in bedroom. Just my opinion, anyway :)

I got this desk for a corner of my office. Because it is semicircular, I thought it would fit nicely and it does. It is a bit smaller diameter than I expected (a picture of someone actually sitting at the desk would be more helpful visually for this purpose), however, it is so much more beautiful in person than you can see in the pictures. It is simply a stunning piece of furniture.
