TOPSKY Computer Desk with Bookshelf/Metal Hole Cable Cover 1.18" Thick Desk (55", Espresso Gray)

IN LOVE with this desk! I put it together alone (I'm a 5'3" 160 lb female) in roughly 30 minutes with a little help from other furniture in the room to prop up the legs while I added the crossbeam and a box to support the shelf while I screwed it to the frame. I haven't USED it yet, as I need help putting it in place, and since I work from home (starting in about an hour) I need to take my time when relocating my computers, modem, etc, but I'll update again tomorrow if I'm allowed to do that!The design is perfect - the legs require no assembly, and with the 3 crossbeams in each leg, I don't think it's going to allow for much wiggle! The desktop is GORGEOUS - and almost weighed too much for me to move by myself - yes, it's THAT HEAVY!! If you can, definitely have another person to help you put it together, WHICH is recommended on the instruction sheet. If not, it's doable by one person, as long as you have a bit of strength. Speaking of the instruction sheet - talk about SIMPLE to assemble! You don't need any tools from your toolbox - They included a screwdriver that tightened all 4 types of screws/bolts. Every type of screw and bolt came with 1 extra piece - and they're not cheap aluminum pieces... they are STRONG! I am soooo thrilled with this desk!For the $109+ price tag that I paid for this desk, I have a desk of a quality worth twice that amount! Even if the price goes up, it is worth it! I'm going to look for more to buy from this company because the quality is much higher than you'd expect at this price point, and no, I'm not a paid spokesperson, LOL!!!***24-HOUR UPDATE***I used this desk all day yesterday in my work-from-home job as a medical transcriptionist. The last table I'd used for a desk had my monitor wobbling with just about every keystroke (I guess I hit the keys with some force). This desk stopped that. My screen never moved, unless I bumped the desk HARD. The shelf underneath doesn't interfere with my use of a foot pedal for work, and I stretch my legs out for this, rather than sitting the way one is supposed to for proper ergonomics (knees at 90-degree angles for 8+ hours a day = blood clots!). I'm not sure how it would be for a taller person, but my shins weren't hit by the shelf at all. Still head over heels over this desk!

This is a really nice desk, especially for the price point. It's sturdy and attractive. The instructions could use a little help, though. Hopefully the following will clarify a few things and make it easier for someone.First, unless you're in dire straits for tools, toss the included screwdriver and use your own quality #2 Phillips instead. A 4 mm T handle metric Allen wrench is also helpful.The #5 pieces are the BACK LEGS. The #6 piece is the FRONT SUPPORT RAIL. Be sure to orient the legs accordingly.When installing the #2 pieces, place them with their holes next to the BACK legs (#5) and be sure the holes are on the sides. They should be closer to the TOP, not the bottom, when viewed from the side.I found it easiest to install the bottom shelf (#7) and the back of the bottom shelf (#8) separately, then screw them together with the "C" bolts at the end, just before all screws are tightened. But be sure to orient the back so the screw holes are at the bottom.If you have a reasonable amount of muscle, you can assemble this without any additional help. It just takes a little longer.I'm looking forward to using the finished product!

This desk is not fancy. It has no LED lighting or baskets or drawers or other folderol. What it does have is stability, plenty of surface area, and the ability to fit in just about anywhere. It could be your main desk or a return to an existing desk, and it will serve in either role admirably.The design features a complete (and sturdy) bracing around the top, which keeps the surface from flexing, bowing, or sagging. That bracing is set back from the edge about two inches on the front and back, however, which allows you to secure something to the edge of the desk, such as an architects light or a monitor arm. The legs are solid and well attached to the top frame, which gives it rock solid lateral and back-to-front stability. I am talking zero wobble. There are adjustable levelers on each leg, if your floor is uneven.There is a shelf underneath, which I find a bit too far under the top to be useful for books, but it holds office and craft materials (in plastic bins) quite well, keeping those things handy, but off the surface. I can't speak to durability over time, but I have already struck the edge of the top several times with the wooden frame of my desk chair, and it hasn't dented, chipped, compressed, or begun to peel. It is veneer-covered engineered wood, but it is impressively thick and solid.I found assembly to be easier than similar pieces I have built - I did it solo in about 30 minutes. It requires a screwdriver and Allen wrench. The top of the desk is one solid piece, and a bit heavy and bulky, so that might be the a part where two people could be useful, depending on your strength/flexibility/size.Nothing but good things to say about this desk, particularly at this price point.
