Honest worth
Got 1 day shipping, arrived earlier than expected. All the pieces are inside with a relatively easy instruction booklet. Some holes you may have to kind of angle the screw just a bit but so far all screws went in nice and flush. Very thin but still sturdy. Would not recommend using for a big tv but anything else works just fine. Power strip and the lighting are awesome bonuses, and for this price you really can’t go wrong. It’s a decent length but really wouldn’t be meant for anything more than light to medium work. Gamers station? Absolutely, although I’d say entry level. Personally I’m using mine for school work with just a laptop so I’m left with plenty of room for papers and books. Decent size drawer that folds out with a sturdy bottom insert, seriously can fit a decent amount of stuff. The lighting for me personally was a breeze to install under the top board in the back and creates a cool backdrop paired with my tvs light strip and color changing bulbs. Honestly I will upgrade to one that is brighter and has Bluetooth connection like my tv’s light strip. My gamer chair doesn’t fit underneath but is not a deal breaker personally as it still pulls up nicely to the front and do not have to hunch over to type. The only thing this is missing would be a keyboard tray, for me I’m fine without one. You could always install or mount one but honestly with the height I wouldn’t really consider it. Altogether I’d highly recommend this product!

Great purchase
For the cost this is amazing. I would have been happy to pay 150 for this. Needed a quick small desk to set up at a floating place i stay at to move away from the kitchen table. It fits perfectly in the corner of my room. The outlets on the desktop not the most amazing quality but they work and talk about insanely convenient. Could care less about the lighting it has. My 17 inch huge Dell laptop even fits on the top shelf. I can fit my scanner and 2nd monitor up top as well leaving the entire work space open for s keyboard and tons of documents. As an accountant and tax person, in a pinch this desk is a home run. Came fast safe and easy to put together. Plenty of workspace and storage space. The the price plus delivery in 4 days might be my favorite purchase in the last 2 years. It looks amazing also. Its more than sturdy, and stable enough to last years. Craftsmanship..... I mean it was $99 after discount. Its plenty sturdy and again the top and shelves are solid and quality material that will last.

Small Desk, Big opportunities by an Old Desk Jockey.
I am a computer programmer and a gamer. I've spend decades sitting at various desks. Big and small, expensive and cheap. I bought this desk for my home office, which is a small space in an old house off the back of the kitchen. This space can't accomodate a full size desk. I chose this desk for it's shallow depth and upper monitor space to not lose desk-space. The built in plugs and led lighting are nice extras. There was a longer desk by about 10 inches but I have hopes of fitting two of these and a filing cabenet in my office. Upon putting it together I was concerned it was too small as my chair is wider than the chair cavety. If you don't use a small chair and require your chair to fit under the desk, get the longer version of this desk. Cons:* The drawer is cloth. It looks find but for a highly visible area it has a cheap look.* The monitor stand section is so shallow my monitors varely fit. They will fall off if they were bumped. I'll be adding a monitor stand to accomodate this, but I'll have to drill a hole to mount that properly.* There isn't room for a computer tower. I left the middle shelf off in the "L" section and put my tower there. It looks and functions fine, but it effects the stability of the desk and I get some monitor wobble as I type. I'll be adding a filing cabenit and putting my Tower on top of that, then adding the shelf to accomodate. Pros:* Great Desk for a small space. Even with a wide chair I have no need to fit under the desk to use my perhipherals. I find it comfortible for gaming and work. The led lighting is nice and can accomodate using a keyboard that doesn't have backlit keys.* The monitor shelf looks nice and functions well. The adjuusted height is great for my ergonomics. It increases my desk space. I have have my little visual niceties on the desk while keeping them out of the say. I can hide the infastructor on the bottom shelf and asthetically it is really nice. I use a soundbar for sound and the cavity created by the shelf increases the sound quality from the speaker.* I have the black finish and I really like it, it looks nice and I am pleased to see it every time I sit down in the space. Assembly:The instructions were pretty good. The labeling top notch and there were few ambiguities in figuring out assembly. It has instructions for both left and right "L" positions. There no "words" to understand which is common among instructions today. There two two difficulties:1. The initial "L" section needed it's top braces aligned just right, the instructions were not very explicit or clear about what was correct. I'm pretty good at these things and managed to work it out, but the instructions should have been more clear here. Especially since incorrectly aligning those pieces will not be discovered for several steps and require significant disassembly to correct.2. The top shelf on the non "L" section has a center pole. I attached the pole to the board like the other attachments. But it is supposed to be attached through the brace and board with a longer bolt. I think the instructions were wrong, but it is possible I assumed I was supposed to put that there. By the time I discovered my mistake it was among the last bolts to apply and I elected to leave it that way. What would make this five stars:1. Instructions that don't have the issues I encountered.2. A cavety for the led Lights making installation easier and exposed bulbs less likely.3. An optional tab for mounting monitor mounts without having to modify the desk.4. Increased stability.5. A middle shelf for the non "L" section.6. A front cover for the drawer matching the desk finish instead of cloth. Conclusion:Overall I am happy with this desk. I will be purchasing a second one and aligning the "L" section on the opposite direction, making a dual seat U setup in my home office, with a filing cabenet off one. That second section will include a laptop docking station.
