I am looking for an inexpensive computer desk (and hutch) for my home office. I want something attractive, of course, but I don't want it to fall apart or give me the frustrations that I have with my current desk- such as jamming drawers. Bush seems to have fairly attractive designs (from what I see online), but I was wondering about the quality. If you have any recommendations for an attractive, inexpensive desk/hutch with decent quality- let me know! :)
I have a Bush desk that I have had for about 6 years. It's good quality as far as the 'workmanship'. That is to say the drawer and door on it has stayed 'true' and both open and close with ease.
What I am not overly thrilled with is the finish of the piece. Mine is a cherry stain in color. I have a few scuffs on the surface of the desk that I haven't some up with a way to repair. I don't use the desk roughly - just your standard papers, computer keyboard, glass or cup (drink) on a coaster sort of items on the desk-top. So be prepared to wipe up any rings very soon if you set a glass/cup down and get a wet ring on the desk top and that sort of thing. I wish they would have put an extra coat of urethane or whatever on the desk top to increase it's durability.
We have moved the desk a couple of times (big m oves - in moving vans) and it still is in good shape as far as the 'structure'. Again, my only 'issue' is being very mindful of the desktop surface.
Good luck.

Her office also incorporates cord management for clutter control and is decorated with meaningful items, including artwork by husband Dave -- the retired owner of a Redford car dealership -- and souvenirs from their African travels.
"This room makes me want to be here," Hines says, recalling her previous office set-ups that consisted of a single card table with a computer on top and later a metal wrap-around desk that was a cast-off from a friend.
With an estimated 25 million U.S. residents working from home, including growing numbers of jobless Metro Detroiters, creating a functional home office has become a priority for many. Some are newly unemployed, while others are part of the telecommuting/flexible hours trend. And some simply can't finish all their duties during office hours and find themselves bringing work home.
Hines decided she needed a makeover of her boring, white-walled office several years ago. Bidding at a charity silent auction, she won a consultation with Karen Crorey of KC Interiors Inc., a veteran designer in Oakland Township with some 20 home offices to her credit.
Computer Furniture
Aside from the PC you buy, your investment in computer desk furniture is one of the most important purchases that you will make. Although you may be tempted to buy discount office furniture, this is a grave mistake. Home office furniture must be of the highest quality for several reasons. For one, you spend hours a day at your computer. Even if you do not work in computer jobs, chances are that you are hooked up to the Internet. Most people check their e-mail at least twice a day, and use the computer for looking up directions, finding places to eat, and a wide variety of other purposes. Because of this, you must make sure that you have the correct home office furniture. Not only must it be stylish and well made, but it also must be comfortable. Above all, however, it must be correctly designed for your body mechanics.
There is a whole list of guidelines for correct placing and sizing of computer desk furniture. Many people have bad posture habits. Although slouching may not seem like a big deal, if you're sitting at your computer furniture desk for hours and hours a day, it can wreak havoc on your back. Computer desks furniture must be designed to support your body in the best way possible. Your chair should be the right distance from your desk, your desk should be the right height, and you should be positioned so that your feet are planted squarely on the ground. Staying in the right posture may seem like a difficult thing to do at first, but over the long run it is worth it. You'll feel better, and your health will be better protected.
