I have been hesitant to upgrade my computer desk for a while now, which has been LONG overdue. Recently repainting and upgrading the entertainment room pushed me to finally find something.
I start scanning all over the internet and came across this option. Looked great on paper, but of course scanning through reviews you start to second guess if it will be worth it… People noting quality issues, fitment, etc… But I figured, I didn't want to spend 2-3x as much on a simple computer desk for my needs, so why not. Let's give it a go!
Given my height (6'6") I need something with legroom, as well as plenty of desk space for my desktop setup which includes dual monitors, computer speakers off to the side of those and ideally comes in black (to match room aesthetic). Of course, I wanted something relatively cheap and good quality as well, which needless to say, you often don't get both. Decided to take a chance on the 63" variant, hoping it would not arrived damaged or have issues during assembly.
Shipment arrived quickly in perfect condition, double boxed and packaged well with foam and desk edge protection. Really nice! Unpacked everything and got ready to assemble.
Overall, took me about 30 minutes which was probably longer than it should have, but my dog was insisting on 'helping'! Assembly was very easy and straight forward. I used Loctite on the threaded fasteners just to ensure things didn't back out over time with vibration and normal use. I also used a handheld drill to help during assembly versus the allen key supplied. Everything was in perfect condition with no flaws, no misaligned holes or poorly threaded inserts. Very nice!
Fully assembled, this thing is really solid/sturdy. I was *very* impressed given the price point just how solid this desk is.
I put the desk into position and got everything setup. With everything loaded on the desk, still solid as can be with no sagging, wiggling or other stability issues.
As far as legroom goes, the floor to the top of my legs when seated come in at 25-inch when seated with my chair at it's highest position. This desk measures 29-inch from floor to top-of-table. The critical "legroom" dimension from floor to the bottom of the supporting member on the top of desk comes in at 27-inch. Perfect! Plenty of room to sit comfortably and have additional room when gaming with pedals. No issue here.
Actual measured dimension (Width x Depth) of the desk is 63" x 23-5/8".
My giant computer tower (23-inch height, 23-inch depth) fits perfect under the desk off to the side. Of course, if you don't have a monster tower, no problems to put on the desktop if you prefer. I just like to have it out of the way to allow for more desk space.
Overall, this thing is a complete steal for the price and it's quality. I can't be happier with it! Assembly was easy, it's very sturdy and gives my tall self plenty of room. I don't have any concerns for it's ability to hold up long-term either, aside from scratches/wear on the table top surface over time (normal wear/tear).
On a side note, the desk also comes with a few magnetic clips to help manage cables if you like. I have yet to complete my cable routing (as seen in the picture) as I await an upgraded sound system en-route, but I do plan to use them to clean up the wiring once everything is set to go.
I'd easily buy this desk again if the need arises without question. Highly recommended if you want a no-frills, sturdy desktop table (or for another purpose). It's fantastic!
