Sauder Palladia Executive Desk (Vintage Oak)

Pros

• +The most established furniture brand here, with more than 1,000 owner ratings on the listing
• +Four drawers including a flip-down keyboard panel and two pencil drawers
• +Metal drawer glides specified rather than plastic runners
• +Matching Palladia lateral files and libraries sold separately to close the filing gap
• +65.1-inch working surface in a traditional Vintage Oak finish

Cons

• −No listing text claims a letter or legal hanging-file drawer on this desk
• −0.75-inch top is the thinnest here, with a 150 lb maximum load recommendation
• −Flat-pack construction that Sauder says needs two people
• −Owner rating sits below both budget picks despite a considerably higher price
