Is this desk large enough for a full grown man? I want to get it for my college age son. He's 5'11" tall. Thank you!

It depends where you place the desk. For example, I'm 5'9" and I placed the desk right against a wall. To be able to stretch my legs I have to extend the keyboard tray all the way out so I can slide the chair back a few good inches. If the desk is not against a wall it can basically accommodate any person since he or she can extend his or her feet beyond the width of the unit. Hope this helps. Cheers!

My parent use it. They are not 5-11 (5-2) so it might be a bit small for him, but it would work.....nice and compact for a college room. Hope that helped!! It's not a kids' desk...it's meant for grown-ups!

Hi,We used for our college students in our unit. It is a regular size desk fitting a regular desk chair.

Yes. I'm 6 ' and use it with no issues. It is not smal in height. Just not as wide. Perfect for small spaces and very functional. I like it
1520261
It is. I got this for my teenage son who is about that height. It is not a giant roomy computer desk, it fits well in his room and he is comfortable using it. I would buy it again.

Yes my husband is 5' 11" and has no problem. It's pretty spacious too. Great quality for price... Linda

I gave up on my WorkFit because my monitor jiggled too much. I switched to a Kangaroo for a year, and then bought a real sit-stand desk, which works beautifully (but cost $1400). I'm about to put my Kangaroo on Craig's List (email ghillerson@gmail.com if interested).I don't know how large the desk would need to be for the WorkFit, but it is heavy (and the assembly instructions suck). The kangaroo needs something like 26" or 28" of depth and about 24" of length.

I wouldn't recommend it. There are two shelf units on either end of the desk, quite substantial. They all fit together--nothing is independent. This is a durable unit, but I wouldn't advise piecemeal assembly. If this is for a child, and he/she isn't old enough for a desk, consider something else, or assemble the whole thing, and store things on the shelves and use the desk for artwork. My daughter's in high school, and she has loved the unit. It's an investment in time (assembly) and money, so make sure it's what you want. Also, the bed is very high up. I wouldn't recommend it for a very young child.

Jeremiah, Sad to say, I haven't begun assembly of my computer desk. From the appearance of the shipping boxes, it appears that the main top is in two distinct pieces. I have never had difficulties assembling a unit suchas the computer desk. This will be a sizeable task and I know from experience it will take plenty of patience. Sorry I can't give you more info on the assembly. Please don't let assembly questions keep you from the desk.I have seen similar desks and this particular desk should be a good one. Best of luck.....go for it!

This is a beautiful desk especially with the hutch. It will last for at least a couple of generations. It is made of sturdy wood and takes no time to put together. A beautiful desk. There are nice sweet 11 year olds and then there are 11 year olds that will break anything in front of them, it depends on the child. I am a grown woman and I bought it for my office. I love it.

There have not been any issues/problems at all. If you use a desk top computer with the pull out shelf for the keyboard you will definitely not have any problems! My son has a similar desk that he has a lap top on, and he has no problems and he is 6'4". The bottom shelf comes in handy (such as printer or storage), so you would want to keep it assembled. Also provides stability as well! Hope this helps!

Yes. you can adjust the height of the desk to several levels... higher or lower I am only 5'3 so yes the desk would work for you. I love it and standing part of my day has made a big difference on how I feel at the end of my day. I love it and would totally recommend it.

There is plenty of room...... this desk by far, is the best thing I have ever purchased for my granddaughter. She is 2 and tall also. You will be pleased! She will love it!

Definitely!:-) my daughter is 9yrs. And she is very tall for her age and it fits her perfect and she will be able to have it for awhile:-) we got one of those rolling desk chairs that you can change the height to fit your needs and that seems to work best:-)

Don't laugh, but I still own an old gateway computer that I bought way back in 1999! It is roughly 30 inches tall, and It fits nicely within the computer compartment. I also have a brand new dell desktop which is half the size of my old gateway. There is enough clearance under the desk for you to work very comfortably.There is one slight drawback.If you purchase a keyboard equipped with a CAC card reader,you will not be able to type with the keyboard partially extended. You will have to pull the tray completley out, which makes placing your legs under the desk nearly impossible. Overall, I love the desk. It is well worth the money....

HI - yes I am about 6'4" barefoot and I would like a smidge more too...The Varidesk Pro goes to about 15" or maybe 16" off the desk surface. (just measured) This is in ADDITION to the desk risers that I bought last here on Amazon. I have my desk rasied 3" all around just so I can sit comfortably at it. Mine are clear and just wonderful. The combo is good enough for me that I love the Varidesk Pro with my mods. It would be EASY to build a base of plywood or similar and set it on as well to get your height without raising the desk as I did. My monitor does not raise and I have had to build a base 8" tall and 10" wide from a 2 x 10 I cut, stacked, nailed, and painted black. Looks good now and I have the monitor up where I need it. If you are remotely interested in a stand up desk - I really think this is a great way to go. And it's easy to rig up ways to make it work for us taller guys.

Hi Rolf. I would suggest using this bed in a room that has at least 8' ceilings. That is the ceiling height in our son's bedroom and when he sits straight up on the bed, his head is quite close to the ceiling. And just for reference, our son is just shy of 5' tall and weighs about 120 lbs. (so he's a pretty big guy). We couldn't be happier with this bed - it is incredibly sturdy and provides a roomy full-sized bed on top of a spacious desktop and room to sit and watch the TV that is up on his wall. I would recommend this particular brand bed (or a single-bed version) to anyone! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Hi Rolf.

Yep, up to 24 inches will work fine. I found it to be quite sturdy, though to be fair, I didn't pack it full of heavy weight books. I really like this desk, It was very easy to put together, and very space efficient. Mine is packed up right now, as I will be doing some traveling. It was easy to take appart too! I like it enough that I am keeping it, (I got rid of almost all of my other furniture.)

The desk is most definitely *not* adjustable. I'm 5'7" and it is not comfortable for me at all. I never use the desk.

I would say it depends on the size of the person. My daughter, whom we bought the desk for, is now 5'9" and a going into the 11th grade. We are looking into raising the legs up because it is too low for her and she has to slouch over it when she's writing. But it's a beautiful desk!

I'm 6' tall. I did not install the keyboard tray because I wanted as much room as possible. I didn't need it and it definitely does not detract from the desk. With it gone, there is plenty of room! I think that even with it there, there would be enough room, but I tend to move around in my chair a lot and just didn't want to deal with it. I specifically bought this desk because most other desks out there leave no room for your legs!

Hi, Paul, I bought this desk and although it looks nice in the picture, it's a piece of CRAP! Don't waste your money.
