Black Computer Desk from Target.com Review
Ethan and I decided to move our office to the basement. With the move, we also needed to down-size our current computer desk. We were looking for a black, small, basic, and relatively inexpensive desk. After many hours of searching stores and the internet, I found this desk at Target.com.
Black South Hampton Desk
This desk can be ordered from Target.com for $149.99. It is also available in the color white, and a matching chair and hutch can be purchased separately. The desk is made of composite wood and is painted glossy black. The front “drawer” is actually a pull-out computer keyboard tray. The dimensions of the desk are: 21″ deep X 47″ long X 30″ high. It is the perfect size for us so that we could incorporate the computer into our existing living room decor.
Shipping
Shipping can add huge costs, when ordering furniture on-line. However, once I found this desk on target.com, I waited for free shipping to become available for this item. Once ordered, it was delivered, undamaged, four days later (ordered on a Monday and delivered on Friday). A bonus to ordering on-line with free shipping from Target is that if the product is damaged or not what you were expecting, the costumer can return it to any Target store at no penalty.
Assembly
The assembly of this desk was quicker than other furniture items I have ordered from Target.com. The main “body” of the desk came assembled, including the pull-out tray. The only assembly required was to fasten the four interchangeable table legs to the main “body” and screw the nob onto the pull-out tray. The directions and labels of the parts were also very user-friendly. All the screws and washers were clearly labeled and grouped according to the steps outlined by the instructions.
Pros
- Size
- Price
- Sturdy
- Attractive
- Free shipping
- Easy assembly
Cons
- Very little storage room in the desk
- Chair not included

Beautiful desk. I’m in the market for that exact thing. Very modern and simple. I may make a purchase when another paycheck comes through next week.
Didn’t know Target sold through Amazon!
One question: How did you get the free shipping?

@Jon, We really like the desk too. Simple, and does what we need it to. The free shipping is actually a benefit of ordering directly through Target. It’s a perk they offer every now and then. Here’s a link for the desk through Target (which is still offering free shipping right now)
