Real Problems
Pros: Appearance/Design
Cons: tops not well made

Bought a week ago and put it together in a few minutes 3 days ago. I use a lap top on it, the paper under the lap top is lifting, in only 2 days. The great thing is Office Depot exchanged them in a day, but I had to put them together again.

Not designed to be repaired.
Pros: functional
Cons: Quality: Flimsy

I've owned this for about 6 months. Today the edge of the slider thing of the drawer came off. I unscrewed it and got it back on, only to find out that there is no way to get it back on properly - the slider hides the screw hole.

For the most part, this is a good desk, but if you have to repair it, well, they didn't intend you to fix it.

works just fine for what I needed
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, functional, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: Difficult to Assemble

I bought this desk a little over a year ago. I looked at several different desks that were similar style, size, and price, but since I was able to get this for $29.99 at a grand opening sale, this one won. I'm not sure if I'd pay $89.99 for it though. Only because I'm cheap. It was a pain to put together (for me anyway), and it was ALOT bigger than I was looking for, but I was able to move a few things around my room and was able to make it work. It's alot sturdier than it works. It does not wobble at all, I just locked the wheels. I don't have a printer or a scanner, so aside from the cpu unit shelf, I use the other shelves for storage (books,papers,etc). My only complaint is that the screws on the keyboard tray already came loose, I think because maybe I put too much weight on it. But it looks like that will be easy to fix and once I fix it, it will be good as new. For now, I just have the keyboard on the desktop and it works fine. I also don't use the mouse tray. I just have that on top and that works fine too. I use this desk in my bedroom and for what I needed, it is great...MUCH better/sturdy than the wobbly table I was using before.

A Good Buy Gone Bad
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: poor quality "stick-on" veneer on keyboard tray.

Item was on sale when purchased, shipped immediately, delivered with speed.
Easy to assemble.
Overall, I'm delighted with the design, and look, and functionality of this desk. Sadly, however, the veneer of the keyboard tray began to bubble up after just two weeks use. A week since that began, it has gotten much worse ... and yet it has been used for nothing more than its purpose, that of a keyboard tray.
Am currently waiting for this part to be replaced, which is likely to take 6-8 weeks.

Much Better than Expected
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: mouse tray a little small and low

If a perfect low-cost, high quality computer desk exists, this is it! It's stylish, functional and excellent quality. It looks and feels like it cost a lot more.

In case you were wondering, the mouse tray pulls out to either side to accommodate lefties or righties but it is a little small - a "standard" size mousepad is too large for it. and it is obviously lower than the keyboard tray. The good news is the keyboard tray is large enough to use for the keyboard and mouse. If the keyboard tray was another 6-8" wide it would be ideal.

Exceeds expectations
Pros: Appearance/Design, functional, Quality of Material, Well Made/ Sturdy

Assembly instructions clear and complete. Easiest assembly I have ever done (and I have done a lot over the years). A solid, quality unit that fits my transcription business use perfectly, and the price is superior bargain, too. Handsome addition to our office.

Excellent Choice
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
Cons: missing pre-drilled holes / placement instructions

I read all the reviews & bought it anyway! I solved the printer wobble situation by placing my printer on a nearby filing cabinet which also solves the drawer & storage issues. The unit looks wonderful & was easy to assemble. My only problem was that there were no pre-drilled holes in the keyboard tray to attach it to the sliders, nor was there a template or any details in the instructions as to hole placement. Good thing I like power tools! This desk is an excellent purchase for my use!

Not as bad as I feared
The carton the desk came in was very badly damaged and I feared the worst. There was some damage but it could have been worse. My 17 year old daughter put it together, her first time, and she really enjoyed doing it. The desk looks great but does shake a little when the printer is in use. Not too bad for the price

Excellent desk
Pros: excellent quality very sturdy and plenty of space
Cons: keyboard and mouse tray not big enough

This desk is of excellent quality! I got the desk on sale for 59.99$ (the price keeps going up and down for some reason). Glad to say it is not made of the cheap laminate that usually comes within this price range. Very sturdy materials and parts. It takes some time to assemble but the instructions were simple enough. It does wobble a bit when using a printer, but it's definitely not going to fall apart because of it. I love the height of the desk, very comfortable. I use a flat screen monitor so I have plenty of space on the desk to do some writing, and keep lots of knick-knacks. The CPU shelf on the side is very convenient. I also use the other shelf for my books and folders. The things I don't like about the desk is the keyboard and mouse tray. They are again like the rest of the desk very well built and sturdy, but it's too small in size. The mouse tray has the option to be fixed on the left side of the board if you are left handed, but I think it is not well placed ergonomically. And I would've liked it better if the whole tray was a little higher than it is right now, cos it rubs against my thighs. The scanner shelf is also at an odd place and you can bump your knees against it if you sit too close. But I've got used to it now and I like the extra shelf space.

Great Computer Desk
Pros: shelf and cpu stand can be left off, casters can be taken off if too high
Cons: i wish the scanner shelf was in better place

We recently split up our computer room with 3 computers and all computers went to the kids bedrooms. I was one desk short and didn't want to spend a lot and didn't have a lot of space. I didn't want much - just something sturdy and functional. This was perfect and more! This company has the best packaging and directions of anything I've ever had to put together. Even the different screw sizes came in their own packages labeled, so it was so easy to know I had the right screw with the right piece. I researched this desk and another with a couple more shelves from these reviews. I didn't buy the other desk in this range because, as they said, it was very wobbly, creaky and more expensive. It had a couple more shelves/features, but the desk moved even when writing - what would it do with an ink jet printer? This one doesn't move - unless you move it - nice & sturdy. Previous reviews talked about the scanner shelf on this model hitting your leg. I did what they did and removed it. The desk is still very sturdy without it. I had no problems puting it together and am very happy with this purchase. It was on sale for under $40.00 as a doorbuster - what a deal! This is listed as $59.00 online - even at that price it's worth it.

Very Sturdy !
Pros: price, sturdy, looks great

I was hesitant to purchase this desk because of the low price , and previous experience with cheap desks .
I could not be more thrilled , the desk is extremely sturdy even with my heavy older monitor on it.
Even as i assembled it ( very easy) i noticed the screws all screwed into metal instead of compressed board and it had lots of supports .
Even the keyboard tray seems well built and feels substantial , unlike many other desks .

Waste of money
Shakes every time I print, it is very unstable. I love the way it is set up and the size but I am afraid every time I print that it is going to collapse. You get what you pay for.

Awesome Desk
Pros: compact yet still roomy, great features and mobile, very sturdy craftsmanship
Cons: kept banging my legs on the lower shelf, no drawers, shelf on top of desk takes up room, dosnt stay at one price, you have to keep guessing when to buy

The first time I saw this desk online I knew I wanted it. I really jazzed myself up about the usability and quality of the desk. I must say that all my expectations were met with flying colors. Plenty of work space while still compact enough to fit almost anywhere. I like the mobility of this desk and all the features it has to offer. The only cons are that I kept hitting my legs on the lower shelf so I removed it. The small upper shelf is a wasit of space so i removed it too. Also the price kept jumping up and down between $59.00 $89.00 dollars. Other than no drawers it’s the perfect desk for any home user or professional.

I recently purchased this desk. I love it. Pretty easy to put together very sleek design. I love the look. Once I got it together was so much more than what I thought especially for the price. I actually bought another for my sons room. A must buy.
