Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 8, 2026

Owners praise the Armitage's spacious top and storage; three found the caramel darker than pictured, and five waited long for delivery

Room×Lab read all 17 distinct written Crate & Barrel reviews of the Armitage Desk, dated April 2021 through August 2026. Owners use it as a main home-office desk, for work from home and in a living-room office; none describes how the desk has held up over several years. The reviews cover this desk only, not other Crate & Barrel desks or finishes. Independent evaluations and owner discussion from other sites are not included. Most reviews are praise; the reviews below show that praise next to the complaints owners raise (a darker finish, delivery damage, a long wait, short shelves, no built-in outlets) and the one-star review whose text is positive.

Room×Lab rating: 7.7 out of 10 (limited confidence). Owners rate the Armitage 4.71/5 across 17 reviews, praising its looks, spacious top and storage. The caveats: three found the caramel darker than pictured, five describe long delivery waits, and nobody reports how the finish holds up over years.

  • Useful storage, with a shelf-height caveat: 3 favorable mentions; 1 critical mention — Three owners praise the storage, one naming the shelves and smooth drawers. A 2021 owner says the shelves are too short for file folders or binders. Measure your tallest files before counting on the shelves.
  • Caramel can look darker than pictured: 2 photo-match reports; 3 darker-color reports — Two owners say the caramel matches the photos; three found it darker. Darker was not always a complaint: one owner preferred it, while a 2022 owner struggled to match bookcases to it.
  • Long delivery waits in past orders: 1 favorable mention; 5 critical mentions — Five owners describe long or delayed delivery, including a 2021 wait of more than three months; a 2025 owner's desk arrived early. Two desks arrived damaged: one owner accepted a credit, and another was still awaiting a replacement in August after a May delivery. Ask Crate & Barrel for the current delivery estimate.

Before buying

Choose the Armitage for its large top and storage if caramel that may look darker than pictured suits your room. Measure binders against the shelf height, check drawer clearances, and ask Crate & Barrel for current delivery and damage-replacement terms.
