I bought this desk because I wanted to have one side for my setup and the other for someone else or a work station. Some issues with the holes for the screws but other than that, it was easy to assemble alone.My boyfriend and I ordered this desk, and put it together the day after it arrived. At first we were disappointed because the holes didn't line up and the frame looked crooked. Upon looking at the reviews more closely (I browsed them before making a purchase) we found other people had the same issue. I thought "While that's inconvenient, I guess it's no big deal, we'll get his dad to drill a new hole for us..." but then we actually measured the bar marked "4" and found that even though the drilled holes appear to be in the exact center, when you measure from the holes to the sides, one side is ~16 inches, and the other side is ~18 inches. That means there is an actual direction in which the "4" bar needs to be installed. If your frame looks crooked (the part where you attach the desktop surface to), then simply take the "4" bar off and turn it around! Hopefully that helps! All the rest of the holes lined up perfectly and assembly was pretty easy.Now for the actual review of the item. We gave it 4 stars!Pros: It's a lovely desk that was absolutely perfect for our needs. We had two smaller desks before that were of lesser quality so this was a big upgrade! Our package arrived with a scuffed open area but no damage was done to any of the parts. The desktop surface is a nice sleek black color, which is slightly textured. The frame is all metal and was very sturdy feeling when everything was put together properly. The shelves are long and spacious, the only gripe about that is it's a little hard to get to things in the way back. That's a non issue for us, as we put a long basket there with things we need in our computer area but don't use often (usb controller, extra cords, etc). The desk easily accommodates our two monitor risers, monitors, a tv, and all the things on the shelves. The center panel is big enough that you could put your towers on it (though ours are under the desk), and any extra devices like additional monitors or a printer. It's a rare size, listed at 90.5 inches, that was perfect for the space we had (maximum 94 inches).Cons: The directions really could be better. This would totally clear up the issue with the holes not lining up. We'll go ahead and chock that up to user error, but having noticed that other people were experiencing the same exact issues, and complaining that it needed to be addressed, I would say that was part of why we knocked off a star. The most glaring con is the shelves. The metal mesh part is not very sturdy. Perfectly fine for the few baskets of light stuff we put on them, but the original appeal was that our computer towers might fit on the mesh, which would cancel the need for a tower riser (to get the tower off the ground in order to help with dust/pet hair and for better ventilation) but after seeing how wobbly the mesh parts are, it was not an option. When you look at the underside, they are spot welded on, and seemingly only in the corner. Maybe we were just unlucky, but I'd be willing to bet that's commonplace. This was the main reason we didn't leave a 5 star review. The only other con is that since the surface of the desktop is textured, it messed with my boyfriend's optical gaming mouse (he previously was not using a mousepad) so we had to go out and buy a cheap mousepad for him. While he should have had a mousepad in the first place, that might be something someone needs to know.Overall we really like the desk! We'll see how well it holds up (maybe I'll update it in a year) over time, but for the price, we definitely seem to have gotten proper quality! I'd recommend it!The desk was a bit challenging to put together, but honestly, it came together fine in the end and it works great for me and my partner. I don't have any complaints about the desk. It gives us both space to work/game, and it's aesthetically pleasing. Be prepared, however, for your Amazon driver not to care about where they leave it due to its weight.Nice desk; however the measurements are off causing one screw to not install properly, therefore leaving a small gap.We don’t know what the extra piece that comes with it is. Maybe some kind of slidy thing for an old fashioned computer tower? We’re baffled. Otherwise a nice desk.Another Amazon piece that I assembled myself. Assembly was very simple and straight forward. I use one side of the desk for a vanity and my boyfriend uses the other side as an office desk. It’s pretty sturdy and has shelves where I added my own storage boxes which fit perfectly. I would recommend for sure!!I searched a long time for an economical desk where I could have my gaming setup on one side and my work setup on the other. I spent a lot of time looking at L-shaped desks when I came across this little gem. It is perfect for my needs. Each side has good room. I have a dual 24" monitor setup on my work side, a huge Alienware PC in the middle, and my Series X, 27" monitor with a sound bar on the right. My work PC is on the shelf below the Alienware and the sub is on the lower shelf below that. Still room for my head sets and controllers.It will take three people to move once assembled or the weight of each section will rip it apart. I could only move it solo if I'm moving it straight back or forward on smooth surfaces. I couldn't assemble exactly where I wanted it because I did major cable management on a padded area of the basement and didn't want to set it up on concrete. My point is, it's not all that solid because it's 90" long, so it will bend if you lift up one side only. It's solid, once it's where it needs to be.The finish is laminate of course but looks nice. The little shelf they include where your PC sits is too small for a large PC so I had to take the plastic feet off, added Command Strips to the bottom (left the slick side on one side) and use it like a sliding shelf.I took a gamble on this desk. I was not sure this was going to work for me. I like to have my space when on my computer. I typically stick with the traditional L shaped desk because I find those to be more comfortable for me. But I needed the space for work and play. We got it put together and honestly it was bigger than I expected (I have zero depth perception and have no idea how to picture something close to its true size). When it was placed in my bedroom, I had no idea that I would be giving up my whole wall, but it was so worth it. As I have posted an actual, messy picture as it is now; I have plenty of room for not only my personal computer, but also my work computer and a bunch of random things. This desk is everything I hoped it would be. I am very comfortable sitting here whether its for work or play. I have plenty of space on the play side to have a 42-inch tv set up (I just removed it to give to my husband for his man cave) with no issues of still being able to place my mouse and keyboard and tower. Even with the larger tv on the desk, I never had to cross over to my work side. I highly recommend this desk for anyone that has to work from home but also wants a play side, or anyone who has 2 children who have computers or game systems or just want a place to be able to write/draw! Had this item been back in stock a few weeks ago I most certainly would have purchased another one for my children! So easy to assemble that my husband and 9 yr old son put it together!
