Sauder 404944 Heritage Hill Computer Credenza, Classic Cherry Finish, L: 59.25" x W: 20.47" x H: 30.24"

Easy to install and very accurate on parts, durable and elegant.

The Sauder Heritage Hill Collection Credenza Model 404944 is a good value. There are better credenzas - at much higher prices. But this one is well worth the cost. I bought it primarily because I needed a credenza exactly 60” wide, give or take a half inch, with traditional styling in wood or wood veneer. This credenza fit those requirements, and looks great. Before you buy, you should be aware that: (1) This Is Not Solid Wood. This is cherry wood veneer on manufactured wood/particle board. I have a solid wood desk that I sit on from time to time. I would not try that with this credenza. The particle board appears to be pretty solid for its intended uses, but time will tell. (2) Buy More Glue. You will run out of glue, quickly. Other reviews noted that, so I just picked up Gorilla Glue from the hardware store before the delivery. (3) There Were No Scratches. That surprised me. Some reviews stated that the pieces came with scratches and that it was shipped with a touch up marker to deal with the scratches. Mine did not come with a touch up marker, but it also had no scratches on the pieces. Perhaps, Sauder now packs the pieces differently to preclude scratches. (4) Sauder’s customer service is excellent. One of the wood pieces was broken - perhaps because I did not lay the unit flat on the floor when I opened it and pieces fell on each other. I called the number on the last page of the instruction booklet and they (a real human being!) immediately shipped out a replacement unit. It arrived two days later. If a piece is missing or broken, don’t worry about it. Just give them a call. Is Assembly Easy or Hard?. Some reviewers have said that assembly was hard, while others said it was easy. In a sense, both statements are true. In one sense, assembly was easy. The directions are clear and easy to follow. There are instructions and pictures and every part is numbered or lettered. There were exactly the number of items required. Nothing was missing. If you follow the instructions patiently, it is next to impossible to get lost. In another sense, assembly was difficult. The instructions are clear, but there are 22 steps, with subparts to each step. Do not think that you will assembly the unit in an evening. It took me three to four evenings to complete. It was not particularly difficult (and I am not particularly “handy”), but it did take some time. Minor Issues. (1) Each of the two drawer fronts to the large drawer is attached to the front of the large drawer by only two screws. The drawer handles pull above and parallel to the line formed by the two screws. Thus, every time you pull the large drawer open, you will be loosening the two screws until the drawer fronts develop some wobbling and you need to retighten the screws. This is not a big issue in the grand scheme of things, but a third screw attachment could have prevented this. (2) The credenza comes with some pretty useful cable management, including a grommet in the top of the credenza. I decided to replace the pass through grommet with a power outlet grommet. If you do that, you should be aware that most outlet grommets require 3” of clearance, while the desk has only 2” of clearance (depth from top of credenza). I have ordered a low profile power grommet that should work. Again, this is not a big issue. On the whole, the credenza looks wonderful, is functional, and is well worth the price in both money and the time spent putting it together.

Just started working at home and wanted a decent spot to sit every day; yet, since on a tight budget, this was not the time to invest in a huge purchase. This desk was the perfect answer. Yes, you need to set aside good part of a day to put it together and set yourself up, but, once done, the nice quality of the drawer rollers and the overall construction is much appreciated. Our unit did have a couple small dings in it, but the company helped out nicely on the phone and we will touch them up. The color is rich, and the finished item looks like furniture. I realize it does cost more than some other basic desks, but is a huge step up in quality also. Highly recommended.

Great product and looks very rich. VERY HEAVY and had to assist the delivery guy to get it off the truck with a dolly The original package came well packed , however the top panel was broken on one edge. (Looks like the carton was dropped on the edge due to weight). Thought I might have to ship back the entire HEAVY package. But, I Immediately contacted Sauder and they mailed a replacement part at no cost. (Very good feature I didn't know) and got it a week later. You must have patience because you have to assemble the entire desk. Parts are well marked, but it helped also to have a good sense of orientation as to how the product will look. Advise: I’ve put items like this together in the past and you must follow the sequence otherwise you’ll get frustrated. Everything came together well and the draws took a little adjustments to line up. Don’t let the miss’s or kids interrupt or keep asking are you done yet  when you’re done show it off ! Took a couple hours.

There is a lot to say here so imma make a pros and con list to make this easier Pros: - The desk is beautiful. Looks like the photo and like it’s almost solid wood - It’s steady and heavy. Comes in at 118 lb and when put together it’s not shaky or wobbly. I feel like it’ll stay just fine. - When everything arrived, it was packaged so well that I couldn’t open it. Nothing will ever get damaged in shipping. lol. Cons: - The instructions were hard to follow and were put in a weird order. - The wood scratches and splits easily. A screw got broken out when I tried to put the top on and you will not be able to build this without scratching it. I was being extra careful. - You will need at least one other person to put this together - This took days to put together I did this by hand with no drills and minimal help and I got it done in 3 days. Not a quick project and not one for a beginner. - They use both cam screws and dowels. Like just pick one. - They do not provide extra screws or glue. The glue they had was not enough for the entire desk and I had to use my own. There were just enough screws and dowels for the desk. So if you lost one or it was damaged, you’re screwed. (Pun intended). - Some of the hardware was slightly bent. - The drawers and doors were hard to adjust and I wasn’t able to get to drawers to slide without scraping the bottom a little. Overall I think that this desk is a bit over priced for the stress it caused. I like the look and functionality of it but I would not order it again. Not without extra screws and glue, easier instructions, and wood that is less prone to damage. If you do decide to buy this, build it with someone and please use a drill. Trust me.

Well-made and very sturdy. Can’t go wrong with Sauder furniture. Bought two bookshelves also and very heavy duty.

So every screw/anchor in this desk uses wood glue!! Trust me it’s a headache in itself. 5 hours later I took a break from assembling the item to come back tomorrow with hopes it can be finished. I would say a 100 pieces to put this together. (Maybe more.) Only to get to the top to find the top piece don’t fit correctly with the other pieces and hoping I can find a way to make this work before I box it up and send it back!! I would not buy this item again. By far the hardest item I’ve ever had to assemble and when I say never again, I mean that “NEVER AGAIN!!” This item does arrive in one huge 115 lb box. Very heavy. Sturdiness idk yet I’ll update if I can make it work. Value for the money absolutely no. This product is just temporary to take my online proctored test until I can find the perfect product for me…. Update if I could get this pile of junk boxed up I’d return it in a instant. It’s not sturdy, broken wood pieces I had to glue back, gaps between the drawers you can stick your hands inbetween, and this is just a few of the major issues. If you’re considering a desk splurge the extra few hundred bucks and avoid this headache. I can’t box it back up or it’d be on a UPS truck back to amazon. Worst piece of furniture I have ever purchased and a complete waste of money!!!!

This desk looks nice, is a good size, and seems to be one of the sturdiest self-assembly desks I've ever had. However, be warned that it took two people 4.5 hours to assemble it. It did not require any special tools but had a lot of parts. The instructions are pretty good but there are a few pictures left out. All of the pieces were included and in good shape. We only had an issue with one small metal part having a defect in the manufacturing. I contacted the company this morning and they are mailing a replacement. I would purchase again, but be warned you will need the better part of a day to put it together.

Tres difficile à assembler mais ça en vaut la chandelle. Je l'aime bcp. J'ai cependant une égratignure.

Overall this is a very solid good looking desk that when assembled has the look of a desk that would cost far more. My only complaint which I have experienced with other pieces of furniture made by Sauder is that their instruction manuals can be vague and rather confusing causing frustration in assembly. It would be nice instead of illustrations that are drawn they could perhaps provide illustrations in the instruction manual with actual photos and more detail. Other than this complaint overall it is a nice looking sturdy desk.

Solid and beautiful piece of furniture.

It’s a good desk but takes lots of time to assemble. They should have quick assembly parts. It had two big scratch marks on it and they don’t even give colour matching market with it.

I like the storage options. Great value, happy with the purchase
