Sleek, Stylish, Useful, and Sturdy

"We've had this piece for about two years now, and love it. If you have a large book collection, this is a wonderful way to show it off! The shelves were really quite easy to assemble; we put them together in less than an hour. They hold up really well, and they look so chic and modern. It's not something to buy if you are needing more of a desk than a bookcase. But if you just need a place in the middle of your book collection to be able to sit down and open up your laptop - this piece is perfect. Highly recommend."

"This is perfect for my study- I have a relatively small space and I can fit this shelf in as a workspace/ decor, and still have room for my architect desk without overcrowding the bedroom. My boyfriend assembled it in minutes, the wood (grey) is more brown than grey but I love the color. It feels solid and it's so easy to dress up. I would recommend it in nearly any room- it's so versatile that way."

Good. Cheap. Attractive. Easy to assemble

"You'll need an hour or two to get this together, but the good news is that it's packed super flat so it's easy to haul in a small car.
We live in a modern high rise and it fits perfectly with our furniture.
Unfortunately the stain/finish smell is a bit strong the first two weeks, but over time it disappears."

At Last

"I have been eyeing this desk/bookcase for years. My fiance just purchase it for the office in our new home and I couldn't be happier. I am not a traditional desk person and desperately needed a place for my laptop to call home. This product is perfect and is awesome for displaying/storing my art supplies, pictures, and books."

Absolutely STUNNING!!!

"Like every other review here, this desk & bookshelves combo is breath-taking, gorgeous, and so simply it's unreal! My husband wanted me to make sure when I reviewed it I mentioned how easy it was to put together, easy to follow the instructions, AND they give you extra pieces of hardware just in case. It comes in 6 boxes and each box was very well wrapped to insure nothing would arrive damaged. I'm still settling into it and organizing it, but this will be a staple in our home for many decades to come."

added height, openness and personality to the room

"In the last 13 months two major changes, over which I had no control, have impacted my life.
I felt that I needed to take charge, and make some changes of my own.
I decided to do it through freshening up my home.
That's when I purchased the grey Sloane desk and 2 bookcases....and I am so glad I did!
I removed a large roll top desk (which held a pc, keyboard and more than a little clutter) from my office. In their place, I now use the two bookcases, and rely totally on my laptop.
I placed the desk in the guest room, which houses a bed and only a few necessary pieces and homey accents.
My home is small, as are my rooms, and the furniture did exactly what I thought it would do. It added height and openness to the spaces which now have fresh and stylish personalities, look and feel complete, and are absolutely inviting!
The design and color of the bookcases and desk are great, the pieces were easy to assemble, and are as functional as they are attractive!
I love them!
I was confident with my decision to replace the furniture, and pleased with the style of my selection,but I am truly thrilled with the outcome!

Perfect for a Small Apartment!

"These shelves are so sturdy and attractive! This was one of the best investments we've made for our small apartment. We purchased one of the larger bookcases, one narrower one, and the desk unit, which fit perfectly against a small wall in the living room. These are so easy to arrange to fit into any space, they were easy to assemble and are sturdy enough to hold heavy books without warping. I love these shelves!"

Perfect Desk!

"This desk was perfect for our guest bedroom/office. It was not hard to assemble you just have to follow the instructions! The only trouble I had was attaching the full piece to the wall, I needed the assistance of my boyfriend to complete this. IT is slim, sturdy, elegant. The dust seems to appear more quickly on this dark furniture more than others but, it is not a problem. The wood is very smooth and the desk holds a ton of items we have our books, supplies, computer, printer, cds all organized on the shelf."

Very well made

"I purchased this unit because I was setting up a computer for my son in our living room. It was very well made and easy to put together. It looks wonderful and now my son has his own computer as well as I can display photos and store all of his books and games and it keeps me from having to pick up at the end of every day"

Fabulous unit!

"I received the Sloane leaning shelves and desk as a wedding gift! We have now had them in two different homes and they look fabulous in both!!! They add a fun element to the room with their leaning. I just love these desks and they are very easy to clean and show very little dirt."

Nice desk and shelves

"Good storage space, although I am still not confident that the shelving units are firmly in their place, even witht eh wall mounting.
I use the desk on its own, which is great; that, I would give four or five stars. The shelves can be placed separately, which I did, and I am just not sure how well they balance on their own."

The Perfect Fit

"After months and months of looking for the right desk for our home, and my new home office, my husband and I agreed on the Desk/Bookcase combination.
We also decided to buy an additional bookcase in order to house my ever growing collection of books.
The assembly was quick and easy, and I've now settled in to my office away from work.
We couldn't be happier with this product."

Love Love Love

"Great, versatile desk. Easy to assemble, and sturdy when you are done assembling. The shelves hold so many things, but it doesn't take up a lot of room. When I first purchased this I lived in a loft, so it was great since it isn't big and bulky, yet holds all of my books and laptop!"

Stylish and functional

"This desk looks even better than in the catalogue. The dark color matches my hardwood floor. A handyman assembled it for me, so I cannot rate the ease of assembly, but the result is perfect."
