Bush Tuxedo 60″ W Desk with Optional Hutch – Mocha Cherry

Not all that long ago, I reviewed a similar desk to the Bush Tuxedo 60″ W Desk with Optional Hutch – Mocha Cherry. At first glance, the only obvious difference between the two desks are their colors – the other is in Hansen Cherry, which is lighter than the mocha. However, as I looked more deeply, I saw something that I might not have noticed had I only been paying attention to their respective colors. When talking about furniture, it is very true that darker colors tend to convey a formal tone, while light colored furniture appears more casual, less executive.

A Great Desk Just Got Better

I loved the Bush Tuxedo in Hansen Cherry; however I felt, likely because of its finish, that it was best suited for a home office.

The other points worthy of comment on these desks are: that the drawer space is more than ample. You can hide your CPU neatly away in the cubby. Above it is the typical office supply drawer that most of us need to keep excess pens, post-it notes, paper clips and memory sticks from taking over. At the end of the return, which is available in a right or a left, is a drawer for your pendaflex folders. Above it, should you need it, is another drawer for more stuff that has a way of cluttering up our lives.

The desk top at 60 inches wide offers plenty of surface room to write, spread out paper and of course, work on the computer.  The thing I love about them both most is probably the hutch. As a big fan of hiding things away from being in plain sight, I love the idea of being able to put things behind those frosted flip top doors. Unless someone is really nosy, nobody has any idea what you’ve put in them once those doors are closed.

What makes this desk better than the first that I reviewed is simple. The dark color gives it an air of sophistication not found in the lighter version. I think just by darken the Bush Tuxedo up, a desk that previously seemed suited only for a home office, now seems appropriate enough for the office of an executive at any level.

What’s My Final Verdict?

I love the Bush Tuxedo 60″ W Desk with Optional Hutch. I really liked it the first time and I love it even more now. As I am looking at the title, I realize that the hutch is optional. For this desk to function as it should, I personally recommend you get the hutch. The added storage will be welcome, believe me. If you are as busy as most professionals are, you amass papers, books, reference materials, etc. that beg to be stored away when not in use. But from an aesthetic perspective, I honestly feel the hutch completes the look and balances things out. I think you’d quickly regret not ordering the hutch within a day or so.

I read all the customer reviews I could find on this desk and pretty much all felt similarly about it. They would recommend it to a friend, loved the sturdy construction, the design and many made a special point to make mention of the ease of opening and closing the drawers. Those are things I like to see in reviews. Specific reasons why people like something are always better than generalizations.

Another thing that stood out in the customer feedback is the weight of the pieces. Do consider requesting the “white glove” delivery. You’ll thank yourself when you aren’t the one struggling with it up the stairs.

I honestly think that if you buy the Bush Tuxedo 60″ W Desk with Optional Hutch you’ll be very pleased with yourself. Quality, elegance and functionality are among the many things you’ll fall in love with added to which is the Bush 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.
