As other people have stated, when I saw this in the store - it stood out from all the rest. What I loved about it the most was the fact I was building my first computer and I had a blue theme to it, and the glass was a perfect match for the side panel and other lights I had on various computer parts.
Anyone who states that the desk was flimsy didn't do it right. When I first put the desk together, it was very wobbly. I shrugged it off, because it wasn't all that bad - but when I moved in with my boyfriend, he put it back together himself and it was very solid. So I must not have tightened things enough. However, you will want 2 people around to put it together, or at least at the end. You're basically putting the desk together upside down (yes, upside down) and at the end, you're required to flip it over.
Pros: It's built to last, it's very solid, very nice looking for both male and females, and it's got very nice desk space.
Cons: If you have a large tower, such as a custom built computer as myself - the tower won't fit on the lower shelves. However if you have a typical store bought computer, you'll be fine. The lower shelves have plenty of space, but the height is the restriction for custom built computers. I only use the bottom left one. I use it for my subwoofer and my feet (great foot rest haha)
My biggest gripe out of everything would probably be keeping it clean. When buying it, I hadn't considered the fact that I'd be able to see -everything- that lands on my desk top. Just keep a bottle of glass cleaner handy because you'll be wanting to clean the desk off weekly, if not every other day. You'll see dust, crumbs, dirt, finger prints, and everything on the desk.
If you're into something stylish and want something sturdy, this baby will do the job very well for you. It saves space, it's nice to look at, and I've had mine for several years now.
If you're a neat freak, this desk will be a minor setback for you due to having to clean it all the time.

This seems like a nice desk but the main issue is the glue that is used to attach the glass to the metal parts. If you leave desk in storage or in a place where it can get hot, the glue will dissintegrate and no longer hold the glass together. This was an extreme dissapointment since one may have to storage the desk or might not leave the air conditioner on all the time. Aside from that it is not as sturdy as you would think either. I had to sell this desk for 40 bucks just to get rid of the inconvenience.

I spotted this desk near the entrance of the store and my roommate fell in love with it. We've been using an old table that wobbles, has one leg in the middle, and flaps that don't hold completely up. It looks like it should cost a million bucks, but the price is actually reasonable. If you have a small apartment like a studio or a small room, this doesn't take up a lot of room. There are some things you should know before buying this. 1) It's heavy. There are four glass pieces, the biggest one being the heaviest. You may want to have some flat cushioning to put this together just in case. Remember, you're dealing with heavy glass. 2) There are a lot of pieces: glass pieces, metal tubes, long and short screws, etc. 3) This is not a project that will be easy-breezy. If you're good with a Phillips screwdriver, you'll be okay. Don't worry if you don't have an Allen wrench; it comes with one. Basically, you'll be a while. It took me about two hours. That's not to say that's it's difficult to assemble. As long as you REALLY follow the instructions, check that you have all the parts, and screw tightly when they tell you and not screw tightly when they tell you, you should be able to put it together. You just need a lot of patience because it is quite a job, but I guarantee when you see the finished result, you will be a happy camper. Not to difficult to move, but you should take it slow. Like I said, it's heavy glass, so be careful.

I bought two of these computer tables one for me and one for the wife, we love them, they look great, I also purchased the printer stands for this line (yes, one for the wife) again, one of my better buys. So far three of my friends have also purchased them after seeing ours.

I was looking for a desk that fits into a bay window in my bedroom. Here it is! Stylish - Sturdy - With a great writing surface. I really like the monitor shelf, allows for bigger LCD,S. Two bottom shelves, I put the computer CPU on on 1 and the Subwoofer on the other. Nice metal keyboard sliding tray also.

I really like the blue glass but it is very heavy and when i moved recently, it was very difficult and tricky to reassemble it. Other than that, I'm very happy with it.
