Thank you for working with, and helping me to get this magnificent piece of furniture!
After receiving my U-Shaped Desk with Hutch in Natural Hickory in December of 2014, I still could not be more pleased!! As it turns out, there was an error when the desk was made in that it was ordered to fit in the back corner of my home office with the hutch on the right instead of the standard left location, however it arrived in the standard (left-sided hutch placement) configuration. While I was disappointed when it arrived, now I am much happier with the location than I would have been where I originally planned to place it. In this location, I can now look out my office window while still working instead of having to turn around. There is no glare on my computer screens due to the light coming in the window that there would have been for much of the day during the spring and summer. Instead of a mistake and disappointment, it has turned out to be a blessing!
Enough of that… The desk is an excellent piece of workmanship, and I admire it and the beauty of hickory grain on a daily basis! The craftsmanship is superb, and I have no doubt it will continue to serve me for years and years to come! The excellent detail and craft used by the builders shows from the dovetail joints to the way drawers close smoothly and everything is aligned and square (no sagging or misaligned cabinet doors or drawer faces).
My job requires that I spend between 10 and 18 hours (often longer, depending on the projects I’m working) at my desk most work days, however I find myself so comfortable at the desk and the way it allows me to arrange my computer screens and peripherals I often spend a good deal of the weekend in here as well.


As mentioned on your website, quality does take time, and it does cost a bit more than some of the furniture you can buy elsewhere, but in my mind there is no better way to go! Based on the quality craftsmanship of the Amish workers who created this beautiful this desk, I am confident that this desk will far outlast my lifetime, and quite possibly many lifetimes beyond mine. More than that, it was made to order so that I have a unique piece of furniture rather than a jigged-up cookie cutter piece identical to many others. Rather than the keyboard and pencil drawer, I was able to get two keyboard drawers which makes having multiple computers (necessary for my line of work) much simpler. The craftsmen also modified the cpu cabinet to have shelf that allows me to keep a lot of my network gear out of sight (since I don’t have a desktop/tower computer to store there). Yet another modification was an organizer area inside the right hutch cabinet with slots/cubbies for smaller items.
Honestly, you should highlight the opportunity to get a piece of furniture uniquely designed/modified to meet your needs more than you do. Of course that opportunity is available more in certain types of furniture (desks, hutches, kitchen islands, etc.) than others, but it was definitely a key selling point for me.
At any rate, I would be more than happy to be an advocate for DutchCrafters, free of charge :-) If there is some way I could help answer questions from a customer point of view, I’d be happy to do so. I am VERY, VERY, VERY PLEASED with my desk and think others would do well to purchase from you as well.
