In short: at <$100 this is a 5 star desk; at >$100 this is a four star desk I love the movable shelves, the solid construction, and color/aesthetics. It does, however, have a few shortcomings with regard to the keyboard tray and PC stand. Read on for more info.Construction: Quite solid, powder coated metal legs, particle board desk and shelves with a very nice laminate overlay. I actually thought from the pics the shelves were metal, but it's the same material as the desk. I was quite impressed with the build quality, especially at this price. This table has a small side to side wobble, but not noticeable to me while gaming.Assembly: Pretty easy. There are a number of different fasteners and cam screws but it all went together easily. Tip: be very mindful to use the bolt hole locations in the instructions as guides for orientation as parts of this build are not symmetric, and the instructions don't make it blatantly obvious.Moving side shelves: They line up well with the top surface of the desk. I really like this feature, and there are securing thumb screws to move them easily. I use them at the top levels. Each shelf uses three "rungs" of desk space so there are not tons of modular options, but it's still a nice feature. I measured the real-estate my 24" monitor uses, one can likely go dual screen with just the "wood" central desk, and go tri-screen with the side shelves added at the top. These are definitely stable enough to feel comfortable enough doing that.PC shelf: I have a Fractal Design Define Mini C (a micro ATC tower) and that is the largest PC case I'd recommend putting on this desk if you want to use a shelf above the PC tower shelf as the pictures show. And that's not a big case by any means. Be sure to compare your PC to that case's measurements of 399 x 210 x 399 mm (LxWxH). I also took off the little "guardrail" so I could pull my PC forward, no big deal.Keyboard tray: This is my largest gripe. The desk's support bar eats into the height this tray can accommodate. With 1.5 inches available, my keyboard must lay flat (not propped up) and neither my full sized nor my compact mice fit if I wanted to slide in the tray. Its width is enough for just a full sized keyboard, or as I've done and a number-pad-less keyboard to use the mouse on a trimmed down pad only with casual use. I game on the table-top surface. I also prefer keyboard trays that have a solid "notch" to keep the tray in the "out" position, this one barely does that.Final thoughts: I would get this desk again and recommend it to anyone at this price point. If you really cared about fitting a larger PC or mousing on the keyboard tray, I'd suggest you move on.Read more

I got more than I expected at my price point. Had extra hardware, but best thing about this particular desk is the ability to swap out the top left and right wings, or switch sides for the middle shelf. What was about my only gripe at first (not enough hardware in my opinion) for those shelves, ended up being alright in the end.The desk is very solid, so expect the package to have some weight if you have to carry it very far (this is a good thing). The keyboard tray is a little shallow, but worse comes to worse can just use it for extra storage space. Can alternatively use a standard smaller keyboard that isn't raised on the back. Overall, perfect size desk for office, gaming or school work since you can skip the shelves if you need something that will fit in smaller rooms.This company went above and beyond when I emailed them asking for an extra hardware kit. Big shout out to customer service for sending one without any hassle, and rapidly sending it.

The distance between the surface of the keyboard tray and the lowest obstruction above it is 4 centimeters (1.57 inches). If your mouse or keyboard are taller than that, you can't push the tray in all the way. I have a Logitech G600 MMO Mouse and a CM Storm Quickfire TK keyboard (38 cm long). They both fit into the available length of 51 centimeters with just enough room to move the mouse around comfortably, but both are too tall and I will never be able to push the tray in all the way. If you know of a mechanical keyboard with the same numpad configuration as mine, and an MMO mouse, short enough to fit inside the tray pushed in, please leave a comment and let me know.The computer tower shelf is 20 centimeters wide and 53.5 centimeters deep. The leftmost feet of my Fractal Design Define Nano S case are sitting over the edge by just a hair. I tried tipping it on purpose and it seems sturdy so I won't worry about width, but I'm really cutting it close. With the computer tower shelf in the lowest position I have a 26.8 centimeter clearance between the floor and the bottom of the shelf, allowing a depth of 16 centimeters. The clearance becomes 24.8 centimeters if I want a depth past the supporting bars. My subwoofer is taller than the supporting bar, so I can only push it 16 centimeters in underneath the tower shelf. In this configuration the tower cannot be taller than about 45 centimeters.It's possible to configure both of the larger black shelves on the same side, one beneath the other. This begs the question, why don't they include a third large shelf? I can't seem to buy it separately either. Another note on the large shelves, I can't seem to get them to sit flush along the fake woodgrain portion of the desk. At the front edge they sit about a millimeter too high. The fake woodgrain surface is better than most. It has an artificial texture that kind of simulates woodgrain, making it a step above a decal.The desk is long enough for a 43 inch TV (16:9) which works out to 37 inches length, a pair of speakers (9 cm each), and a lava lamp. You can substitute the lava lamp for a pair of VR headset sensor cameras and still have enough room. Sacrificing the lamp would allow me to upgrade to a 54 inch TV, which works out to 47 inches length.The assembly was not too bad. The most confusing part was determining which edge of the desktop surface was the front. The front edge should have the closest screw holes, which are for the keyboard tray. I wish it had clearer markings. The grease for the sliding tray mechanism can get all over your hands if you're not careful. Also confusing was that each shelf gets two thumb screws despite the fact that each shelf has four possible holes to be fastened. I decided on the bottom pair of holes for each shelf.Read more

Questions & Answers

Can the cpu caddy be moved down? i have a full tower
No the lowest level only gives enough room for a tower that's no more than 17.5 inches tall. Just measured.

how much leg room does it have (height wise)?
The underside of the desk itself is 29 inches from the floor. If you plan on using the keyboard tray under the desk, its underside is 26-1/4 inches from the floor and the space between the leg pieces measures 31-1/2 inches across. Hope this helps.
