 I stumbled across an ad for this furniture collection on Pinterest and had to share with the Peas! Although I'm not currently planning on purchasing any of it, I always love looking at craft room furniture and planning out my dream craft room in my head. I actually found it for sale on multiple sites, including Target, so if you're interested in it, shop around at different sites for the best price. (Also, this may not be NEW new, but it's new to me!) If any Peas happen to already own this, I'd love to hear how it works for you! |

I like the island in the middle. Haven’t bought craft furniture in a long time so it’s new to me!

I love the look of that too. The pieces on the far left look really functional to me!
I pretty much have a homemade version of the island and I love it.

The pieces look practical, but I just cannot get on board with white in my house.

I bought a few pieces of Sauder pressboard furniture just out of college (so we're talking early 90s.) They've really gone up in price since then. If they're the same quality they used to be, I wouldn't recommend them. The shelves warped and the veneers bubbled and chipped.
They look really pretty in the ad though.

I sure hope for those prices they have better quality than when I moved into my 1st apartment. If not it sure isn’t worth it. I haven’t bought or even looked sauder since those first shelves since it was such a crappy set. We couldn’t lift the finished shelf empty without risking damage. 😬 |

I have a Sauder brand craft armoire that is about 15 years old. You open the doors and it has a pull out desk surface.
I use it for sewing and it has held up very well over the years. I would say the quality is equivalent to the ikea laminated pieces I own.

Love the island but wish the surface was twice as big.

I'll admit it, we have various pieces of Sauder furniture. None of it is real wood, but it's what we can afford. They've held up well. As long as you're not rough, it will last a very long time. We've had some for more than 20 years.

We've had some for more than 20 years. I’m glad to hear they are better. That’s good information to have When we had it, it was that really flimsy flake board with basically paper over it. It was also very very low priced. |

We have 2 of these and 3 storage cabinets in the same ugly oak color.  Those are in the basement. I think we may have paid $100 at the most for the storage cabinets. From their website, it does appear they are sturdier. |

One of my scrappy friends has that desk (island) and really likes it!
