Home Laptop Notebook Computer Desk Table – Easy Assembly – Light Cherry and Black Finish

The desk is made of quality wood particle with plastic rods/tubes that link together. You will need a mallet or something to smash insert caps and two nails. Also, you need a Philips screwdriver. The directions are clear and easy to read. The desk dimensions of 23.6″(L) x 15.5″(W) x 29.7″(H) is accurate.
Once assembled, the desk shakes from the slightest touch, but it is a durable desk for probably 5+ years. The keyboard dock(?) is too small for my ergonomic keyboard and having the mouse on the desk is a bit awkward. Having a large 22″ monitor dominates the space, along with speakers.
*Beware! There are sharp and pointy corners on the wooden rungs(?) at the side. These are quite close to your feet, knees, hands, and possible running toddlers or other human-like substitutes. So I guess this is not baby proof unless you place caps or duct tape to the corners.
**One last thing to point out is that the top plate has a strip lining that goes around the edges. Be sure that the part that has the over-lapped lining is facing the side you don’t want to see. I just realize this after I finished placing my stuff on the desk. I don’t know if I want to uninstall it though.
***For the price of $26.99 with Amazon Prime, it is a fantastic deal.
****(See the pics I made for possible references if you want, it’s your internet time. Not like there isn’t enough internet time available in 24 hours.)

Pros:
Looks nice
Cons:
*Table shakes every time I use it. Even just to type. I put it next to a wall so the shaking is minimized.
*Very small keyboard pullout. I don’t have a fancy keyboard and it doesn’t fit on the table (width).
*If you have anything but a small tower it will not fit. My tower sticks out 3 or 4 inches in the front and back.
Summary:
Given the choice I would not buy this again. I’d spend the extra $20 and get something better or try Craig’s list.

…because this particular order arrived with hardware missing — no screws, none of the small metal parts required for assembly. I’m a senior, a stroke survivor just returning to the work force with a telecommuting job. With renewed employment, I was able to move from a furnished apartment to a nicer, bigger place, unfurnished, and this inexpensive unit seemed a good way to set up a temporary workspace, as move-in was July 1, and I had work on July 2.
Arrived: 27th of June. On the 30th, I started assembly — and by step 2 discovered that none of the small metal parts required for assembly were present. As it turns out, LLY fulfilled by Amazon” means minimal customer service — no way for anyone to simply replace the plastic bag of hardware. Maybe — if I cried or yelled or played the “handicapped senior” card — I could have persuaded Amazon to crack open another computer desk, and just send me the plastic bag, but as it happens my telecommuting job is customer service, so I have some empathy for the poor schlub on the phone who doesn’t make policy but has to enforce it even when it’s stupid. So, instead of Amazon shipping me a few ounces of hardware, I shipped the desk back, and now await my credit so I can order something a little nicer, while I work from a corner of my (luckily, LARGE) TV table.

This is a great computer stand. It holds a lot of weight on the top table. I put my laptop, recording equipment, a mixer, a lamp, and sometimes even a plate of food on it and it all fits. The bottom table is just as study. Mine is a little squeaky sometimes coming from somewhere on the inside of one of the legs. Other than that, you can’t beat this price.
