How wide is the shelf from the side of the desk to the side poles where the books are setting?Is it wide enough for a printer?

It is not wide enough for a printer. Even if you have a small printer, the table is so unbalanced that printer will fall in your feet.

No, not at all. You can put one on the very top shelf. But from the desk to poles is only 10 inches

Do Not Buy This. It is the worst made thing on Amazon. Also, it's not wide enough for a printer.

It is 17" deep on the sides, it is curved in the front (under where the printer would be) so it gets a little deeper because of the curve. I love mine! I also bought the monitor stand. Both allow me to have extra storage and be more organized.

Not really. You could put it on top of the desk next to the monitor, but there is no printer shelf per se

a small one yes but it's not made for that. you can however remove the shelf and place a printer in place of it.

I agree with the other responses. I have a full shelf of books on the bottom, the other 2 shelves each 1/2 full of books, and a large book of Kells on the top. It is sturdy, but is likely to wobble from the printer movement. At most I would recommend a small printer, preferably on the lower shelves.

The middle section could hold textbooks. The two side sections are deep (the depth of the desk) but they are not wide. It is approx. 5-1/2 inches wide.

The space is 23" wide by 11" high. It's 9 1/2 deep to the edge of the upper shelf and 23 deep to the front edge of the desktop. I havean HP 7520 and it fits just fine under there, and copying usually is ok for a sheet, but to copy pages in a book or anything larger thansingle sheets I have to pull the printer out a couple of inches which is no big deal. Overall, the space for a printer is just fine unless you have a really large-size printer. BTW this unit is a bit of a pain in the neck to put together (time-wise), but it's a really nice unit when completed.

shelf is 12inches wide & 31.5 inches long--seems very sturdy--would probably hold a printer

The top shelf is 31.5" by 12". I do not know how much weight it can hold, but I put my HP J6480 all-in-one printer, laptop dock, external blu ray burner and more on it. Pretty sturdy.

It's 30" wide. It would hold many books, large and small, but I'm not sure it's strong enough to support the weight. Also, you would definitely want to attach it to the wall so it wouldn't tip over. It's definitely more of a decorative piece, best for an assortment of books and decorative items. If you wanted to load it up with books, get a sturdier bookcase. That said, this is a great piece for the price and I highly recommend it for decorative uses.

No. The inside dimension of the shelf enclosure is only 11-1/2" wide. It's wide enough to put a PC tower (if you remove the middle shelf), but not a printer that's 17" wide.

The width they give is just the width of the desk itself so with the bookshelf included it's twice the width. The bookshelf and desk are not connected

It's best to remove the shelf unless your printer is very low to the ground (shelf support heights are 8" and 11 1/2" from bottom surface). The maximum available space (w/o shelf) is 18 1/2" wide x 18" high x 19" deep - I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600, and it fits ok but snug (top cover can be lifted for copies, printer pages eject 10-11" from floor, above my left foot - keep in mind, this printer cart sits higher up than your average computer desk = 27 1/2" at the keyboard shelf, 32 1/2" at the top surface, 7" at the bottom surface / plan you seating accordingly

I must have a different desk. My first measurements were an estimate It is 4-1/4" high, 21" wide and As deep as the desk. Nowhere near able to fit a printer. Barely fits a desk organizer

Twenty-two and a half inches wide by eleven to twelve inches depth. It has a slight curve in the middle towards your body. On the ends it is about eleven inches and in the center it is twelve inches. The tray slides underneath the shelf. Just follow the instructions step by step when putting it together. Tighten all nuts/bolts after everything is put together at the end.The total width of the desk including the tower near the floor is forty-one inches. 48 inches high to the top of the top Printer shelf. Very compact and useful compared to the old bulky desks. I also have two small speakers on each side of my Canon MX410 printer. That is about four inches space on each side of the printer and about twelve inches depth on the shelf. George L. Swanson Jr.

it can hold a small photo printer, I use the corner shelf for a 2nd monitor and a speaker.

Hi K.W, 19" wide, 20" deep, and 18" in height (if you remove the shelf). The printer shelf can be adjusted to a variety of heights within those 18" inches. Also, the first one I was sent had some scratches. Not sure if it came that way from the factory or if it was used. Amazon, sent me a new one free of charge and discounted the price a little for the hassle. Best of luck and happy holidays!
