It only took us about 10 minutes to put this together with one provided tool and Allen wrench. It’s sturdy and fits just about anywhere in a room. Our college student son says it is just right for what he needs.
So Far so good! Would be nice to have a manual option (no motor to break) to convert from sitting to standing but I am awaree the design and cost would need to change thanks
I opened the box and thought " assembly looks easy" . I couldn't have been more wrong. Some part bags aren't labeled. Worse is that several different parts from step 1 and subsequent steps are all mixed together in one bag. There is barely any written directions and they supply one picture for several steps. The pictures aren't detailed so it is very easy to assemble it backwards etc. The instructions have you install plastic leg protectors on the back legs yet the casters do not fit in the metal legs because it causes the screws of the casters to be angled. After an hour trying to fix it I gave up and took the plastic protectors off. I highly suggest 2 people assembling this just due to having to hold the legs etc. I did it by myself but had to ignore the assembly picture to do so. I don't think will hold up to heavy use.
I like how it came with a cup holder and headphone holder. Plus the lights are a nice touch. The lights require a USB connection which laptop doesn’t enough available ports. It would’ve been nice to have other options to power the lights.
Very nice desk. Got it on sale. Very easy to assemble- all the parts are clearly labeled with letter-coded packaging. They include an extra of each fastener and a pretty decent screwdriver. Allen wrenches has ball end - nice touch. Instructions are good. Fit and finish are excellent. Nice features like leveling feet. As we were assembling it we kept repeating how nice it was for the price we paid. Yes it is a barebones desk but when space is at a premium it gets the job done nicely and for a good price. Also not that this is a critical feature but the cupholder is good size and will accommodate large mugs with handles. Just another well thought out detail. Very satisfied with this desk
The table once assembled is very sturdy. Many of the fine features I did not need. Once I got it to 4 legs and a table top I stopped. Not 5 stars because of the instructions on how to assemble. Pictures in the book instead of drawing would have been better. Also not all of the parts are marked. They did give an extra piece of hardware should I have dropped one. I work in the hardware industry so that is important. I never seen such a big mouse pad. I would hate to meet a mouse that big. I am not a gamer so I guess gamers need big mouse pads. Hence the name Gaming desk. I just call it a computer table.
