This well-defined line of the computer desk makes it a delightful addition to your home office. It combines the very practical feature of a smooth, pull-out keyboard shelf, to ensure comfortable arm positioning while typing and cleverly stores this away when not in use, to free up the workspace. The practical proportions make it ideal for many home offices, whilst still maintaining compact dimensions, at 110cm wide by 60cm deep and standing at a height of 76.5cm. this desk is finished with a melamine laminate which is highly durable and an excellent surface to work on.
Desk came well-packaged and relatively quickly. It's a very sturdy desk and looks quite nice. Because this was important for me for ergo reasons but was not straightforward on many listings, the height of your keyboard will sit approx 26.5" (67.3 cm) from the floor using the tray.
Three nitpicks:
1. There was a piece of black veneer missing on one of the top corners of the desk surface. Unfortunately for me, in the most obvious corner. It was like this when I took the corner cover/protector off at the very end, so it wasn't from me during construction. (see pic 4)
2. The keyboard tray does not move smoothly once I screwed the wood piece to the sliders. I have to push down a little and try to move it evenly. Even still, I try not to slide it in and out too much.
3. The screw holes on that keyboard tray piece to screw it to the sliders were too small for the actual screws. So I had to innovate a way to make them a little bigger. And those screws are impossibly tiny - 4mm x 4mm. Barely deep enough to hold in your fingers. This was probably the most difficult part, even behind actually putting the ~30lb top on the legs.
4. It shows fingerprints REALLY WELL. As in, touch it once and it will show. Plus the first time I cleaned it, it looked like I had ruined it with streaks that didn't disappear, but after I used a water + paper towel the streaks diminished. I believe it was left-over cleanser from the first cleaning. (see pic 5)
I actually was able to put it together myself, out of sheer need; I'm not particularly a super-strong woman, but if you have some ingenuity (holding pieces together using other furniture to support) and a big of strength (able to lift 35-40 pounds), you'll be okay. [It was quarantine season, and I needed a desk for work, so I was willing to try it on my own vs wait for someone to be able to help.]
Overall, I would recommend but know that you may have some minor issues. Based on reviews from across Wayfair, I was prepared to have a scratch or two. And while I was relieved that there was no major issue, I still wish that the desk surface itself did not have this missing veneer.. Erin. Chicago. Sun Apr 12 2020
