Love my Alluna Desk!
Pros: Quality of Material, functional, Appearance/Design
Cons: directions missed a few steps
I do love this desk! The only complaint I have is with the manufacturing directions. I read directions before I start and follow them during assembly. However, with this desk, the legs need to be turned a certain way so when you add the bracer bars as one of the final steps, the holes are where they are supposed to be. There is nothing in the directions about "make sure the holes are facing the right direction" and the only indicator is a little sticker on the leg. I had to take my desk apart in the end to move the legs to where they were supposed to be.....most annoying.
Other than that....the desk is very beautiful and functional for those of us who need a flat workspace, vs. a tower.
Enjoy.

Nice desk
Pros: Appearance/Design
It's a nice desk for the price I paid. The only gripe I have is that the corner glass piece sits slightly lower than the sides. It was easy to assemble. Put it together loose once you get the glass on go back and tighten everything down.
It is nice and sturdy once assembled, it looks good and it's not cheap partial board.

Wonderful choice
Pros: Quality of Material, functional, features, Appearance/Design, comfortable, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
I have the L-shape desk, the computer desk and two of the three shelf shelves. I love them all. I had purchased them for my card making business and could not be happier. Because of the smoothness of the glass, I am able to easily clean adhesive off of the surface. I also like how it seems to increase the space in my office. I looked at many desks of this style and kept coming back to this one. It was also very easy to assemble.
I would reccomend it highly to anyone looking for this style of desks.

Minor setbacks, but a great purchase overall
Pros: functional, Appearance/Design, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: cheap frost
I needed a desk that wouldn't scratch easily or bubble up, a textureless surface for writing and drawing, and a surface that could be cleaned easily. This desk does the job perfectly. I chose this one because I liked the style of the legs much more than those of similar desks at other stores.
The glass panels are completely flat and level. The top surface is extremely smooth; I can't feel any waviness as I might with other tempered glass products.
The edge of the glass is beveled, so it does not hurt to rest an arm or leg against it -- though it may be less comfortable than an edge that is thicker and rounder.
The frost is sprayed on and scratches off somewhat easily. You just have to be careful not to accidentally scrape a pen across the underside. I have a couple of underside scratches so far.
Some observations that were not a big deal to me, but that I still want to mention: - As with all less-expensive glass, this glass has a slight greenish tint, which is more noticeable in dimmer light. - My center glass panel rested slightly lower than the other two, so the seams weren’t completely flush. A workaround is to raise the glass with extra washers during assembly.
I docked a star for quality because one of my glass panels had a defect where a 4x1" portion of frosting on the edge was scraped off. It kind of looks like tape or a sticker was accidentally stuck there, and someone had to scrape it off. It was disappointing, but at least I covered that area with a keyboard.
Even though there are no drawers or panels to hide your junk and cables, if you find other ways to get organized, this desk makes the room feel as if there's much more open space. I put my computer tower on the floor in the center of the L, which helps hide the cables. It's a little tricky to slide the tower in, but doable. For cable management, I covered a couple of support beams with pipe insulation and just hid my wires inside those.
There's plenty of space on top for two monitors, a keyboard, many papers and supplies, and even food.
You can even shine a lamp from underneath to turn the surface into a lightbox.
An assembly tip: If a glass panel does not lay flat or is not flush with another, shift the outer legs forward or back.
I have had this desk for about 9 months, and so far there are no scratches on the top surface.
This desk is a great deal if you snag it when it's on sale!

Very Good Buy
Pros: Quality of Material, functional, Appearance/Design, Well Made/ Sturdy
This product is a very good buy. As part of a sale, $90 was taken off, therefore, fairly priced for such quality. There is a rather large amount of workspace, far more than I had before, and there is absolutly no question of it's stability. The desk, while requiring assembly, is actually very sturdy. The glass top provides a sleek look, as does the black metal legs and frame. There is plenty of room for a laptop and an additional monitor, as well as two lamps. This product is sure to live on for years, despite my varying taste in furniture.

Love the Desk!
Cons: delivery
The desk is great! My only regret was not picking it up at the store. The "estimated" and "shipped" dates were very misleading and I was very disappointed. Other than that, it is a great product!

Review 10 for Realspace® Alluna Collection Milk Glass L-Shape Desk, 29 1/8H x 60 5/8W x 60 5/8D
Being a graphic designer I need lots of space on my desk for two 22" monitors, a huge mouse pad, printer and other devices I use on a daily basis. This desk gave me all the space I needed and looks great in our home office. The assembly is easy just be sure to notice the end pieces that have the holes in them. Those holes need to be on the same side as they are the mounting positions for the 'A' frame supports to go into. Other than that, the desk is a great desk at a great price. We will be adding other peices to match our desk from this collection soon.

Review 11 for Realspace® Alluna Collection Milk Glass L-Shape Desk, 29 1/8H x 60 5/8W x 60 5/8D
Pros: parts and instructions well labeled, desk is stable and comfortable to use
I bought this desk (with matching bookcase and mobile file) for my new consulting office. It is inexpensive but not cheap looking. The installation was straight forward and can be done by one technically challenged person. The parts were well marked and the pictures informative. The desk was delivered when promised. If you are looking for a compact, modern and functional desk, this would be a good candidate.

Looks great!
Easy to put together- a clean, classy way to use space. I have a work lap top on one end, a printer at the corner and a PC on the other end- it all fits nicely! My desk phone fits too!

Outstanding Desk. Can't recommend enough
Pros: sturdy, economical, great design, doesn't show fingerprints, excellent value, minimalist look, easy to assemble
Cons: heavy (if that can be a con)
I LOVE this desk. It is extremely sturdy, won't chip away and look worn like the laminate desks will after a while. It was super easy to set up. Everything was labeled very, very well and the instructions were very easy to follow.
I recommend reading the instructions very well, because you can easily mess-up when you are putting the top bars and the side together. You can easily get them mixed up and end up making two of one side. Also, the glass for the top has a curved end and a straight end. The straight ends meet up with the corner piece. It will fit either way, but it looks much better this way.
The frosting on the glass is underneath so you have a nice smooth surface on top, but it doesn't show fingerprints like clear glass shows.
Also, check the price in the store if you can. There was a price discrepancy between online and the store and I purchased from the cheaper location. There was a $50 difference between the two.
I also love the minimalist look of it. It is larger than our last desk, but it doesn't dominate the space. It looks very open. That being said, it doesn't hide cable well at all so we have the cables attached to the back support bars and that greatly enhances the look. Black velcro ties works great!
Bottom line. If you are interested in a glass desk, I would highly, highly, highly recommend this one. Super sturdy, easy to assemble (it is heavy to to carry up stairs :P), looks great, and a great price and a great buy. Run! Go get it now!

Classy Desk
Pros: attractive desk at an affordable price
Cons: assembly is a little challenging
Assembly took me about 2 hours for this pretty glass desk. Everything was included in the box and it was carefully packaged - so I didn't have to worry about the tempered glass top breaking. If I had paid a little more attention to the drawings, I probably could have done this faster. I put a few parts together wrong and had to re-do them,but when finished it looked very professional and sturdy. I feel very elegant using this desk and it looks great in my office. Everything was high quality.

Review 16 for Realspace® Alluna Collection Milk Glass L-Shape Desk, 29 1/8H x 60 5/8W x 60 5/8D
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy, affordable
Cons: none that i found
I found this desk and the computer desk that goes with it on Office Depot's site. Put them in my shopping cart and printed the page. I walked in to my local store, handed them the sheet, and within 5 minutes I was ready to check out. Packaging was primo and all the required pieces were there. They even include extra bolts if you drop one into oblivion. Directions were easy to follow with 1 exception-PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE ALL THE HOLES ARE ON THE PIECES. For example; On the support legs the holes at the bottom of the legs need to be at the BACK of the desk. Great, sturdy, elegant, and practical.

Nice computer desk
Pros: Appearance/Design, Quality of Material, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: none so far
Well made, easy assembly. Took me right at 40 minutes from opening box to completed assembly. I telecommute and have a two computer set up (personal pc & work laptop), so each one has it's own space now. As for the wasted space mentioned in a previous review, I simple dropped my sub-woofer in that space...fit perfectly.

Review 19 for Realspace® Alluna Collection Milk Glass L-Shape Desk, 29 1/8H x 60 5/8W x 60 5/8D
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
I put it together myself. It is light weight until you add the glass so I could build it then move the parts to where it was going to be.
It is pretty and since it is for home I can eat dinner on it without worry about getting it dirty if I spill something. It is light and bright looking so getting rid of my huge old desk makes my room look larger and cleaner.
The matching file cart fits under the desk, I don't hang files on it because I have a house rabbit that would eat them but I can put things on the top and use it like a end table.

Review 20 for Realspace® Alluna Collection Milk Glass L-Shape Desk, 29 1/8H x 60 5/8W x 60 5/8D
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, Quality of Material, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: waisted space in corner
I bought this desk on-line and got a great deal on it whilt it was on sale. It was pretty easy to put together. It looks pretty simple and classy. It seems to be pretty good quality. The frosted glass top especially seems to be worth more than I paid for.
Only con is that there is some waisted space in the corner under the desktop. You could still access the space through the desk's open frame - but not easilly.
