Some thoughts - Cons - Wood panels supporting the keyboard tend to move apart which makes the keyboard fall down if you put a little weight on the keyboard tray. I had to put packing to keep the wood panels from being pushed away - Difficult to move after assembly if you don't have help. Its not the weight but the fact that the desk is a L-design which means you need to push all sides with equal force or the joints start to come apart - Doesn't have cable management
Pros- Black top looks good, albeit shows dirt easily - Fits nicely in small corners. - Has adjustable shelf (would have liked an extra shelf on the other side too)

I bought this to replace a regular computer desk that I owned. My original set up was that desk and two smaller tables. I thought this would replace all of that. It doesn't. I still need the two smaller tables to hold all the "stuff" I had in the area. (Laptop, router, 4 external hard drives, small air purifier and fan.) I gained a little space because it's all spread out now, but not nearly as much as I had hoped.
Also, the lower portion of the desk is around 5 inches narrower than the top. Not even wide enough to hold my printer or computer tower. Both of which fit perfectly in my old desk. Well, they fit, they just hang over significantly.
Another amazingly huge flaw is that the keyboard tray slides in at an angle. The sides are bracketed by two blocks attached to the top. Everything attaches fine. Unfortunately, the angle is slightly off. So the tray doesn't fit properly. If I pull it out more than half way, one side detaches, held on only but the roller at the end. Pull it out and further and the tray falls out completely. This is particularly annoying since I have a cat who like to stand on it. It hasn't collapsed under his weight yet, but I'm sure it will in time.
My final two problems are cosmetic. When all was put together, I wiped off the top using first a clorox wipe. Black paint came off with the dirt. Then I used just water and a dot of dish detergent. Same thing happened. My guess is that all of the paint will come off eventually.
Also, there is only one finished side. My "corner" is made up of a wall and a sofa. The desk is taller than the sofa, So one unfinished side is visible.
All in all, it's a decent corner piece. I gained some floor space. It's nice looking for now. It does what it says. Seems sturdy. But had I known about all the cons before, I probably would have looked around for something else.
Would I recommend it to others? Yes and no. It depends on what the individual is looking for. I would recommend with reservations.

As you face the corner desk, the bottom left shelf is adjustable, finish is good to very good and the assembly is simple but... the keyboard drawer slides are cheap. Put too much downward pressure on the extended keyboard shelf and it will come apart. Why? The wheel on either side of shelf doesn't interlock in a grove (above and below the wheel) on the slide mechanism itself. Solution: buy heavy duty drawer slides and install yourself. Do that, it's worth the cash then! Really, it's not that hard to install yourself.
I was looking for a small corner computer desk that would lose itself in the corner of my living room to house my new Dell Studio Computer, it is the perfect size and looks very stylish.
This is a great little desk, fits in a corner well and does not take up much room. My son put it in his dorm room. Provides a nice little corner work area that does not take up much space. Perfect for a college student or in a small office.
scratches too easily, a week after having the desk the keyboard drawer broke (the screws holding the glides in stripped and there is no where else to put them since the glides have pre-drilled holes)
