Great basic L-shape pieceAside from the 38 day wait for FedEx to locate/communicate the whereabouts of box 1 of 2 (I had received box 2 of 2 only a week after initial order) once both boxes were here, I set to assembly. Follow the instructions and any supplemental assembly instrux, and you have it done in a few hours. I bought the Espresso Oak finish. I love the glass door, and I also bought the hutch which offers additional storage. Particle board can be crumbly if you are not very careful starting fasteners centered and straight. I will add some features of my own to make it even more enjoyable, like a roll-out tray where the open shelf is and perhaps some rope lighting on the hutchs’ underside. All in all, pretty happy with Bush products thus far.

Good Hutch, Bad ManualThis hutch arrived intact, in order, and when they said it would arrive.Of the 62 nails that are used to attach the backboard, one was missing. This was not a problem since 61 nails were enough and the backboard remained perfectly secure.The construction appears solid after complete assembly, but it is made out of cheap particle board and errors during assembly are not within tolerance.The manual was vague in its instruction, the small print and illustrations proved difficult for me to read and understand. However, I managed to properly assemble the majority of it without error. If you have poor reading eyesight, I recommend a magnifying glass and lots of patience. A second pair of hands is also recommended.The door was a pain to install, and the manual’s lack of direction led me to install it incorrectly. I ended up placing the door mount over the hinge. I should have stopped the moment I heard crackling coming from the particle board, but it was too late. All of the screws stripped out the material and I was forced to replace the screws entirely. After some trial and error, I discovered that the hinges were supposed to go over the mount instead of inside it. I re-fixed the mounts with butterfly bolts that went straight through the top of the hutch. It is now secure and working properly. The manual is at fault for not providing this important bit of information. Would recommend Bush Furniture to review and refine their manual to be more clear and detailed.5 star construction for what I need-1 star for manual and resulting damage causedLower half of the hutch provides 18 inches of vertical clearance for my computer monitor. I plan on pairing it up with my new desk tomorrow. Hopefully the measurements are compatible as advertized.Will recommend, caution during construction advised.

It looks nice but is not high qualityFor the price, it’s OK. It looks nice but is not high quality. It arrived in a VERY beat up box and some of the boards had cosmetic damage from the shipping (pieces scrubbing against each other and leaving discolored areas, with a few small nicks). I anticipated something like this after reading reviews here, and I was not really willing to make the calls and wait for replacement parts. It would sure be nice if it arrived in perfect condition, but it is HEAVY, and I’m sure the delivery guys aren’t very careful with it. Also, the piece that covers the back is low quality. It is folded into 4 sections and the three seams between the sections don’t look very good at all, and it is flimsy. But, the hutch is relatively inexpensive and does what I want it to do.If you’re used to assembling IKEA furniture, this will be fairly straightforward to you. Each piece is labeled (which is good), and the instructions are fairly easy to follow. As others have said, the instructions are pictorial and sometimes are a little confusing, but I got it put together on the first try and didn’t have to go back a step or two. (The very first step is confusing — it shows the front and back of the same board but at first glance appears to be showing two boards.)One good thing about it is that it can be used on desks with left or right returns or knee wells to the left or right. It’s just a touch under 18″ from the desk top to the bottom of the first shelf. My Acer 23″ screen G245HD monitor easily fits with a low profile web cam on top.I’m thinking about building some shelves to fill in either side of my monitor. This would give more storage space and also support the shelf (that seems to have an issue with sagging over time; see other reviews). There is a lot of open space under the first shelf, and I’ll try to make better use of that space.It’s 57.5″ wide, outside dimensions, so it easily and safely sits on my 60″ desk. I did not attach it to the desk (though brackets are included); it sits solidly and I don’t think it would fall over short of someone grabbing it and pulling pretty hard.

It is good looking and functionalI bought this unit to fit on top of my Bush Cabot Corner Desk. It is good looking and functional, but I have some concerns. There really is no center support, and since it’s constructed of particleboard, I’m already seeing some drooping. Also, the way it attaches to the desk is very tricky to achieve without doing some damage. I found it better to just fasten two pair of angle brackets directly on the inner bottom edges and to screw them into the desktop. It may not look as pretty, but it’s sturdier and easier. And besides, they get all covered up by stuff on your desktop anyways. So right now, it serves it’s function and looks good, but I know sooner or later I’ll have to retrofit something to correct the drooping.It’s been a few years and this hutch is still doing it’s job. My fear of droopage turned out to be unfounded. The laminate finish is absolute garbage however, but unlike the desk, there are no wear areas. The large flat area under the bottom shelf was serving as a sort of bulletin board but is a little too thin to hold pushpins very well. So I bought some 12×12 cork board squares and attached them using contact cement. Now I have a nice large eye-level cork board to pin all my important business papers on. One thing you have to be careful about. Don’t forget to close the glass uplifting door when you’re done with it. I’ve had a few painful episodes where I forgot and stood up, whacking my head on the corner.

Appearance and Space SaverVery easy to assemble but time-consuming; everything fitted perfectly in line. Very happy with the appearance.

A great value, very nice unit. Assembly instructions are HORRIBLE.I’ve been shopping for something exactly like this for a couple of months and I’m glad I found this. It’s made with inexpensive materials (particle board and very thin wood grain veneer) but it does exactly what I want it to do, and the price ($160 with free shipping) was more than fair. Appearance-wise, it’s plain but handsome, stable and strong, and it fits perfectly on a desk I already had. I do want to caution – no, WARN – potential buyers that the directions for assembling this unit are the worst I’ve ever seen. I’ve put together several pieces of furniture of this type, including Sauder brand. I can say with all honesty that if I hadn’t brought that experience to this project, I never would have been able to figure it out. There are no written instructions, only a single drawing for each step of assembly, and those are small and lack detail, so you’re left to figure out a lot of the connector steps yourself. The boards are all numbered and those correspond well with the drawings, but the screws and patented connector pieces are not always intuitive, and the drawings are of very little help. All of that being said, since I was able to figure it out based on my earlier experience, I was able to put the unit together completely by myself in about 90 minutes. If you can put it together, you’ll love it. P.S. the one dimension that doesn’t show on the schematic image is the space from the bottom of the lowest shelf to the desktop, where you would fit a monitor. It’s exactly 17-3/4″ so if your monitor is any taller than that, you’d have to raise the hutch with blocks.

Looks great, holds everything I need it to…but…I’ve put a LOT of demand on this thing in the roughly year and a half since I bought it. My printer and paper are inside the glass part, my financial paperwork is in the far right thin space, my arts and crafts supplies are in the middle two, and my handheld video game consoles and games are in the fat left. I just use the two big side pockets for decorations. The top is littered end to end with various knickknacks and books, so without a support under the middle, it wasn’t long before it began to seriously bow. Other than that, it has held up quite well to my demands, and having a very high energy little boy and small dog in the house.

Love Bush furniture but hit a snag!I love Bush furniture and like putting it together. I got a great deal on this hutch but I’m missing a lot of nails and about 6 pieces of hardware to put together. Maybe that’s why the price was so low. I’ll call and once I get the items and put it together I’ll change my review. Thanks

100% Customer Satisfaction!!I don’t normally write customer reviews. However, this is worth taking the time to write and to inform customers about my experience. I recently purchased the Harvest set that included the desk, hutch, and vertical filing cabinet. First off, I would like to address how great Bush’s customer service is. I had to call the customer service line for Bush twice. Once for a broken piece and the other for a dent and scratches on the desktop. Both times I called, they were very polite and professional. They ordered me the replacement parts for both the filing cabinet and desk with no questioned asked. I also asked if they had a touch up pen for some minor scratches and they included one for me as well!Before I purchased this item, I reviewed the customer reviews and noticed that a few people gave lower ratings because of receiving the items with scratches and dings. All they had to do was call Bush’s customer service and they would have replaced those items at no additional cost. Therefore, I don’t feel that others who have read these reviews should be discouraged in purchasing Bush products. I have to agree with some of the reviews that this is not top quality furniture; however, this company offers top quality customer service that makes these products worth it.Overall, for the cost, this set is very nice set.I would definitely recommend this set to those who are interested!
