A nice, inexpensive computer desk

Its a reasonably sturdy solid wood desk with enough room for a desk top or 2 lap top computers. It has a drawer for a keyboard or other storage.

I got this so I could work comfortably in bed with a large laptop.

I had no difficulty putting it together. The instructions indicate that you need a screwdriver which I didn't have. I suppose  that this is to hold some pieces in place, but I had no difficulty placing them with my fingers so the screwdriver was unnecessary.

The lap desk is large, which appears to have surprised some reviewers. It has magazine holders or something on the sides as shown in the picture. I don't find them particularly useful as they are, though you may, but a piece of cardboard shaped to fit makes them perfect for holding odds and ends.

Good desk for my daughter's needs. The quality overall is okay.  Not great, but good.  There were some scratches and a good sized dent on one leg, but it was going to be hidden so we didn't send it back.  The long drawer in the front is crooked and is lower on the left side, but she has a large chair that covers it most of the time.  The drawers on the side are pretty small so she just keeps extra colored pencils and pens, erasers, sticky notes, etc. in there and it is fine for her.  Overall, the desk is sturdy and the glass props up easily and stays well.  I feel it was a good investment for the price.

This desk has been great so far. It's large enough for a small one-man workstation. The desk height is plenty high for a full grown adult, which I was unsure of reading reviews about buying it for kids. Personally I did not attach the top shelf part, because I wanted the full desk space. I used some black vinyl strips to cover the holes, and it looks great.

The main reason I bought this desk is for the keyboard tray. Most desks you can get no longer have a keyboard tray, and if they do, it's so tiny you can barely fit a small wireless keyboard onto it. This desk has a nice, full sized tray, that accommodates both my keyboard, as well as my mouse and mouse pad.

Unfortunately, the item did arrive with a little damage on the corner of several pieces. It was mostly in places you can't really see unless you look hard enough, so I didn't think it deserved any stars off of it for that. It was probably the warehouse or shipper that caused the damage anyways.

A great desk for a great value.

Pretty nice desk.  I like the ability to have the orientation left or right.  But once assembled, there's a considerable amount of disassembly and moving of screws if you've changed your mind on the layout.  The charging dock is also a nice touch, albeit a little hokey.  Would be nice if there were another drawer above the file drawer, but all around a good purchase.

Bought this to sit by my desk to put extra paper, office and computer supplies in it. The size is just right for that. Assembly was easy. If I was rating it on quality alone I would give it a 3 out of 5, but it's more than adequate for what I use it for. Price was right too.

This is an inexpensive desk of a quality I expected for $170. There are a million parts and screws, and an allen wrench and smaller wrench is provided, but you will need a phillips head screwdriver and likely your own adjustable wrench to put it together as the little wrench provided is actually too large for the nuts you need it for. It probably took me close to two and a half hours to construct by myself, but this is true of most complicated IKEA furniture (which I am pretty well-experienced with!). You will need a pretty large, open area to put this together. Once assembled, the desk is sturdy, comfortable to sit at, and has the modern look I wanted without paying a fortune at West Elm or Crate and Barrel. There were some quality control issues (the drawer doesn't sit perfectly level, some pre-drilled holes chipped the veneer in some areas) and one part of the instructions that should have been better explained, but otherwise assembly was fairly straight-forward.

Due to the quality of furniture like this, I doubt that you would be able to take it apart and reassemble it while moving without using wood glue the second time. I also would not recommend using power tools during assembly, as you would likely strip the pre-drilled holes easily.

One note on packaging and damage:
This item was shipped to me by Cymax. It was shipped in the original product box, which did not seem sturdy enough for the nearly 80lbs of weight it was holding. The box was skewed, dented, and ripped in one area with the inner protective styrofoam shattered in many places, likely due to it never intended on being a shipment box. Because of this, three pieces of the desk were impact damaged on their corners. The damage, however, was not enough to warrant sending the entire desk back. Upon assembly, the three spots of damage are not visible and do not effect the stability of the desk. This is the second time I have ordered furniture online and the previous item was shipped the same way (different seller, but arrived with a small amount of damage as well). Essentially what I am saying is that if you are purchasing inexpensive particle board furniture online, don't expect it to be packed well and do expect to find at least one thing dented, scratched, or bent. Seems to be the usual, and I didn't count that against the product itself because it's not a flaw in the product but rather a flaw with shipping.

Overall I am actually very happy with the desk, so hopefully my review did not come across too scathing. I was going for realistic!

Edited to four stars for quality issues after a month and a half of use:

I've had this desk now for a month and a half and I have already started seeing significant wear in the area where my mouse sits for my computer. I will be buying a mouse pad to place over this spot, as using my optical mouse has actually started wearing away the color of the veneer to the point that little tan speckles are now visible. The speckles are only visible in this area so it'd definitely from my mouse. Basically, the veneer on the particle board is so low quality that if you were ever cleaning it frequently or doing any other kinds of rubbing on a regular basis, it will start to wear off. That's a big quality issue for a desk top surface where that kind of wear is to be expected.

Very nice computer desk. I wish it came in different colors, but beside that there are 3 drawers and a computer bin  and plenty of shelve space for books and notes. I also wish he backing was sturdier, but it seems like a quality wood (particle board) product. This took me 6 hours to assemble; it was very difficult to build this desk, but it was worth the trouble.

Ordered two of these desks and both arrived on time and were super easy to assemble. You get what you pay for but if you're looking for a simple, inexpensive desk I recommend this one.

I've bought two similar laptop desks at office depot (same look but with a black top and gray metal legs) and unfortunately the soldering that holds the desk part to the adjustable middle part cracks after about a year and cause the desk part to wobble.  This one I just got through Amazon with the faux wood top has different soldering that looks thicker and hopefully will hold up over time.  It is easy to put together and looks nice.  The desk part holds my 17" laptop and has room leftover for a mousepad/mouse. It rolls easy when you want it to and has one wheel that locks to keep in stable in place if you need it to. It shipped on time and was packaged well.

I needed to get a nice looking, reasonably compact desk to support my computer, monitor and also provide a nice wide keyboard drawer.  This met all of my requirements at a very reasonable price.

Assembly was not too complex, though it was necessary to align the keyboard tray portion exactly as I wanted to make it extend a little further out than may have been the original intend.  The instructions are very simplistic, but are helpful to make sure you have all of the parts going in the right place.

My only real complaint about this desk is how annoying it was to get the parts out the box, along with the large number of sharp staples the secured the surrounding cardboard together. But, I won't reduce the rating of the product for that, given that it is understandable to have such sturdy, protective, packaging given the nature of the product and the distance it was shipped.

For what it is (a cheap desk), this has been perfect. Easy and quick to assemble. The only tiny thing is that the drawer is pretty shallow and feels cheap, but at least it has a drawer!

Use: the occasional work from home office space.

It is a nice desk for the price although the keyboard stand is too narrow for a standard keyboard and mouse which is annoying. The desk look nice and holds up well. The computer holder is a nice addition since there are no cabinets.

I was looking to replace an old worn out  "L" shaped desk that I had been using for some time and came across this unit. The price was very reasonable so I decided to give it a try. I have included both desk for comparison.

The new desk arrived in excellent packaging and the assembly took only about an hour. The instructions were very clear and the pieces were not flimsy. The finished desk was a little smaller than I had pictured when I look at the product photo - The desk did not have anything in the photo such as phones or computer monitor that would have given me a better perception of the actual desk size. Reading what the dimensions are is not quite the same doing a visual eyeball test.

However, I am please with the unit. It is sturdy, well built, and looks very nice. I would recommend this desk for anyone looking for an affordable L shaped desk.

Even though it was missing a screw, for the price I simply can not complain. The desk does NOT feel like solid wood, but still has a nice quality heavy weight to it, and I am comparing this to desks with countertops worth twice this price. The legs are a decent enough quality, and are slightly adjustable for height to make it level.

Overall, don't hesitate. It is a great desk for a great price.

Nice computer desk for the money.  Easy to assemble in a short period of time.  It's not real sturdy but perfect for my needs.
