After looking at about a bazillion craft desks, I ended up choosing Martha Stewart’s line of crafting furniture sold through Home Decorators Collection.  I figure she knows what she is doing when it comes to designing furniture with crafters in mind.  To my delight the shipment of the 36″ tall desk in Sharkey Gray and the Flat File cabinet arrived in only a couple of days.  I knew I would be required to assemble the pieces but I had no idea how time consuming it would be!  The desk took about three hours and I did that one first.  It was absolutely gorgeous and my hard work was rewarded with this handsome desk!

I also bought this Flat File Cabinet from the same line and it took me about 9 hours to assemble, I didn’t heed the recommendation on the instructions to use two people to assemble it.  I know why they say that…it was heavy and there were sixteen drawer sliders to attach to the eight drawers and over 200 screws.  I got a blister from the screwdriver ( OUCH!) but it was also a great piece once finished.
