This desk broke the first day it was in my house! The drawer is actually supposed to pull out (for a computer keyboard, presumably) -the drawer face is supposed to rotate out 45 degrees to lay parallel to the drawer's bottom. Upon receiving the desk, however, I couldn't get the drawer to open -until the whole desk face CAME OFF in my hand. Wouldn't purchase it again, or recommend it to anyone.

I had (3) of these units delivered as each one was broken in transit. Finally AMAZON declared the unit non-deliverable. Looks good but badly constructed. Scared to place anything on the desk as the desk looked like it would collapse.

I returned this desk. It is made of very cheap material. It arrived with a split leg, cracked corner and broken drawer. It did not hold up well to the shipping but it is fiberboard (or least it appears to be). I would not recommend this desk.

Honest reviews on Carolina Cottage Bella Desk

I was concerned about the reviews on this desk but did notice that most of the poor reviews were many years old and the newer reviews were better. So I took a chance and I am glad I did. I was looking for a desk that was not pure white. The antique parchment color is a creamy white with a very slight hint of green (depending on the lighting). It is a distressed finish but not too distressed.

My only issue with the desk is the hinge attachment for the drop-down door front. It is poorly designed and one hinge actually came off while I was assembling the desk. However, I liked the desk so much that I reattached the hinges using small finish bolts (through the drawer bottom) instead of the screws that were used. It is now much sturdier that the original design and did not affect the look of the desk at all.

I matched the desk up with the Folding Chair with Wicker Accent in Antique Buttermilk Finish. The color is not exact, but very close (much closer than the pictures look) and they look great together.
