  • Very affordable medium-sized computer table. It’s stable, and the legs are strong.
Color: Teak & White Size: 55 inches
I checked my measurements, read the reviews, and followed suggestions. This is a very affordable medium-sized computer table. If the surface is protected, it’s also fine as a breakfast or kitchen table. It’s not meant to be wet or scratched, but it looks good. The two weak points are 1) the surface, which is easily cut, chipped, worn through, and 2) the corners where the legs are bolted. They don’t shimmy at all, because I followed the advice of other buyers and tightened all of the bolts in series while wiggling the legs until they were set very snug to the framework. But, like all similar tables, the legs won’t take a lot of sideways force. For example, you can’t push it across a concrete floor and not expect the joints to protest. The bolts could snap, although it would take a lot of force. There are ridges under the bolt heads, like a locking washer, which should keep them from loosening, but they might loosen over time if the table is moved around a lot. If that happens, all you need to do is tighten them. So keep the hex wrenchs handy, or tape it to the underside! I had trouble with the screw hole in one leg; it seemed slightly obstructed, maybe with a steel filing. So I used some strength and screwed a bolt all the way in and then unscrewed it before attaching the leg to the table frame. The surface of the table is strong and rigid, because it is supported on all four sides by a steel frame. I feel that I can hammer and drill small items like jewelry without putting any strain on it. And as long as I protect the surface with vinyl or rubber, it should continue to look like wood. Of course it’s not, but it looks good. HELPFUL HINTS I’m a woman, 5’6” and 62, and not particularly fit, but I’m handy. So I unpacked the box in my entryway and moved the parts separately. It was a little tricky to get the top where I wanted it, because it’s very heavy, but managable. I slid it on a piece of cardboard from the box. I had no trouble lifting the legs and attaching them. Build it upside-down, with the top on the floor. It’s really the best way to get the legs tight. The hard part was standing the table upright, since I put it together on its back, so to speak. I lifted one end and slid a box under it with my foot, and did the same with the other end, so I only had to lift half the weight at one time. You could do it with hassocks, or couch cushions. Then I tilted the table toward the floor, off the edge of the boxes, until two legs were touching at a good angle to tip it over. That way, the boxes took most of the weight, and then the legs did. And I tilted it to stand upright. For scale, that’s a 27” iMac, quite a bit larger than your average monitor. It weighs at least 20 lbs. The pre-2012 iMacs were substantially heavier, with built-in CD/DVD drive. ... show more

  • Very sturdy and great price
Color: Dark Black Size: 63 inches
I bought this to replace a $50 Ikea desk that was bending in the center. I have a fairly heavy desktop computer on my desk with 3 or 4 monitors depending on how I have it set up. The Ikea desk appeared to have a wooden top, but it was actually hollow and filled with particle board. This desk is over double the price, but you easily get your money's worth from it. The top is an actual slab of wood, and is reinforced with a metal frame around the outer edge. It is much much heavier than my old desk (and for good reason), but I still found it fairly easy to assemble. The frame is fairly thick, and there's not much of a lip where the wooden top extends past it. My Vivo monitor stands were able to clamp around the metal frame without any trouble. However, the clamps for both my mic stand and racing wheel could not open far enough to get around the metal frame, and the lip of the wooden top does top extend far enough to hold them. This wasn't a huge issue for me as my mic does not need that stand and the separate stand I had to buy for the racing wheel made it better to use anyway, but it's definitely worth considering if you need anything clamped around the desk. I had a very hard time finding a simple, sturdy desk like this that can hold a lot of weight, and I was very happy with this one ... show more

  • solid desk for the price and super quick to assemble
Color: Black Size: 55 inches
this desk is a solid buy for the price and gives you a ton of surface area to work with which is great for a gaming or study setup. assembly was really quick and easy maybe 10 minutes tops and everything fit together without any issues. it is sturdy enough for a full monitor setup and a laptop without any real wobbling during normal use. the only thing i would mention is that the legs can feel slightly unstable if you bump them but for everyday use it is completely fine and looks great. ... show more

The fit and finish of this product is impecible! It has a strong aluminum frame and the powdercoating is very high quality. The top is equally made to a high level of qaulity. There are no chips in the melamine along the edges and the edgebanding is perfectly applied. I'm very impressed with the quality of this desk/table.

  • Solid Basic Desk
I bought this desk because I needed more space to be able to write and work and I also wanted to have my PC tower on the desk where it had better ventilation. When I first got it I assembled it pretty easy and had some of the issues that other reviewers had said, it seemed unsturdy and I was confused as to how some people thought that it was a very stable desk. I read a couple of tips on how to make it more sturdy and none of them really helped. I set the desk up, put my PC and monitors on but was very unhappy with the unstableness of it. When I typed my monitors shook and I was concerned that it might just break down. So I took everything off, flipped it back over and worked on it to make it more stable. As I sat on my bedroom floor, staring at the desk and considering the hassle of sending it back I had an epiphany. This is a fine desk, in fact it is incredibly sturdy the only problem was my mechanical ineptitude. You have to use an Allen wrench to screw the screws in and while I was putting the legs on I realized was holding the wrench by the small side in order to screw the screws in faster. I didn't even realize that if I flipped the wrench around and held the long part in my hand that I would gain more leverage and thus screw the screws in even more. I did this and was shocked by how much more the screws went in. I would have been embarrassed by my idiocy if I was not overcome with joy. Thank goodness I didn't need to send this desk back. I have been using it for a few weeks and it has been awesome. If you have problems with it being wobbly just try flipping your Allen wrench around because it really is that simple of a fix. ... show more

  • Don't purchase if you plan to mount monitors or microphone arms
Color: Dark Black Size: 63 inches
I have now owned this desk for over a year so I can give a good opinion based on experience. Pros 1.) It is extremely easy to setup You are given an allen wrench with some matching hex keys and you simply just have to install the legs 2.) It is very sturdy The tabletop is made of wood and the support beams and legs are made of metal. I haven't felt a single wobble from the table 3.) It is less expensive than similar desks Cons 1.) Sharp edges I wish that the edges were smoother. I had to get a large mousepad because resting my forearms on the edges was very uncomfortable. 2.) Cannot mount any monitors or mic arms If you plan to use a C-clamp style mount on this desk, then this product is not for you. If this tabletop extended past the metal support beam a bit more, this would be a great desk but this is its worst flaw. I bought the following Microphone arm and it requires about 2" of a tabletop to clamp onto. This desk has less than inch of tabletop to work with, so even a very lightweight microphone arm is not capable being mounted on this desk. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076ZKGZ5X/ The same story goes for if you want to mount a monitor on this desk. A C-clamp will not work. You can either get a monitor mount that is free-standing or you must be willing to drill your own grommet holes into this. Verdict I would call this a table rather than a desk. If you want an in-expensive very bare-bones table that will last, then this is for you. If you are interested in mounting a Microphone arm or some Monitors onto this, then look elsewhere and spend a bit more on a real desk. ... show more
