I purchased the clybourn walnut executive desk and placed it in my office well away from any direct sunlight, and with blinds on all the windows. Unfortunately within a year and a half, the wood finish has seriously deteriorated, resulting in uneven variations and markings all over the desk. These unsightly marks ruin the look of the desk. I think it’s because of the type of finish, or lack thereof on this desk. While beautiful originally, it now looks damaged. Crate and Barrel refused to take any responsibility for this, and responded that this is “normal wear and tear”. Very sad to think that a desk like this cannot last even 2 years before “wear and tear” ruins it. This is not a desk that will last more than a couple of years.
