If you're seeking a desk that is simplistic, yet attractive, the black computer desk with a raised border and silver metal frame might be what you're looking for. The large surface desk is open to provide you with plenty of workspaces for papers, writing utensils, and a laptop. The raised border prevents papers from easily falling off the edge of the table. The attractive silver powder-coated crisscross legs add a modern touch to keep it in style to grow with your preteen to college-bound student. Whether you're buying for the home office, study, or your young adult's bedroom/dorm room, this stylish desk will grow with your space.
I've had this desk for a few months and I love it just as much as the day I put it together! It is just as solid (doesn't wobble!) as when I first purchased it, too. More on that in a minute.
It's a heavy desk, but I managed to put it together myself without too much trouble (I am petite, 5'4"). The only thing that was a little burdensome was the lack of pre-drilled holes for the leg hardware. Using a drill made things easier, but it's still a little awkward to get the screwdriver in a good spot because holes are so close to the legs. This only slowed me down, though -- it wasn't that big of a deal. I highly recommend using a power drill to pre-drill your own holes, though!
The packaging was very thoughtful -- when you open the box, you don't have to take out the desk top because the underside of the desk -- the side you need to drill into -- faces up. You can assemble the legs while keeping the top of the desk in the box and safe from scratches, etc.
I love that the desk's feet are adjustable; they screw into the bottom of the legs. If your floors are a little uneven like mine, this is a huge plus! I simply screwed or unscrewed the feet until my desk stopped wobbling. It's been a few months since I put together my desk and I haven't had to adjust the feet since!
Once the desk is on it's legs, it is very simple to attach the little guard at the back of the desk. I wasn't sure I wanted to put this on, but decided I liked it -- would keep stuff from falling off!
I love the large sturdy workspace this desk provides while keeping a clean profile in my room. It's a heavy desk, but in no way clunky!
What I have on the desk: two laptops, a small lamp, and a small daily planner. And there is a nice amount of space to spare. I don't feel cramped at all.
Pros: Large sturdy workspace, clean profile, easily put together
Cons: No pre-drilled holes. Courtney. NE. Sun May 22 2022
