Essentials 48" Powered Writing Desk - Great buy
I always hate it when people write reviews and say "it was perfect for what I needed" and then not tell what they needed it for. No help. So this is what I wanted to use it for: I already have a desk in my office, but I have a laptop and large monitor screen. I needed just a little more room for actually writing and having room to keep my everyday supplies handy. N...

Fiber board
This desk is fiberboard with a cheap plastic veneer spill coffee, and it goes down one the cutout, and it will swell and now you need a new desk. Stay away. Returning desk.

It is what I wanted
This work table is well designed and manufactured with robust material. Assembly is easy but you may need help to rotate table after attaching the legs. Great value also.

Very nice office table
Using this to host a dual monitor stand that clamps onto surface, a compact tower desktop pc and my ham radio gear. Easy assembly and sturdy. The outlets on surface are handy. I chose the white surface finish to not clash with my equipment.

Great Value for the Cost
Table is well made. Metal legs are strong and the desk top is solid.
My monitor weighs 25 lb and the desk top shows no flex or bowing.
The power and USB outlets on the top left corner of the desk are very convenient. The power cord is heavy duty.
I would recommend this to a friend.

Great desk & pricing
The desk is sturdy and the pricing is great for this quality desk.
Easy to assemble. Packed really good and secure.
One suggestion, wished it had two addtional electrical outlets along with the two that come with the desk. All in all the best value for a great study well made desk.

Perfect Computer Desk
I love this desk, it is a perfect fit for one laptop and two monitors, with extra space for personal items. The corner plug and usb charger outlets are perfect for charging my iPhone and wireless mouse, and for providing power to one of my monitors. I would highly recommend this desk.

Decent Desk
This is a decent desk for the price. The legs are nice and sturdy and the top is nice. The white surface gets dirty easily (I wanted the wood color but it was sold out). I wish both legs has holes for the computer cords.

Excellent Desk
Its is rare that furniture such as this is delivered with "0" damage. That is how this was received. It was packaged very well, had clear assembly instructions, all parts containers were clearly marked, everything went together logically well, it took only about 20 minutes to complete, and its VERY solidly built. Ordering, delivery and the quality of the product were su...

outstanding & sturdy desk!
this model had the required depth needed for a dual monitor gaming setup. its width easily accommodates both monitors, a large gaming laptop & its metal riser and all associated peripherals. the Stapes sales promo (at the time) made it cheaper than similar desks. the integrated power receptacle made the purchase decision even easier. the only cons are that it's heavy (b...

It was broken when package
The shipping box was fine, but the corner of the desk is damaged, so it must have been broken before they put it in the box.

Nice looking table - good height
The table is very nice & sleek looking. The power outlet (with USB ports) on the table itself is very helpful & convenient.
The table height is very good as well for typing. not too high

Clean lines sturdy desk
I am very picky. Newly built home. Selective of what I purchase and do not want to spend a ton of time assembling. If you are like me, this desk is for you! Great look and working from home never felt better. Cons are that it should have more electrical outlets built in. Excellent desk.

Excellent desk!
Be aware this desk is large in case you’re like me & didn’t pay attention to the depth. I knew it was long which is what I wanted. It’s the perfect size for my laptop, second monitor plus keyboard in front of laptop. Extra room for notes & legal pads to the left & right. This desk is HEAVY. It is very sturdy, but some might need help moving it after assembling. Assembly...
