Great for lefties!
As a left-handed person, it is very difficult to find desks that have the return on the left instead of the right. Even most of the "reversible" desks don't quite work that way. Love this desk! It was pretty simple to assemble, well made, very stable and reasonably priced. I added a riser in the back for my monitors, so the work surface is not terribly deep, but since the keyboard tray is on that side, the keyboard doesn't take up any of the surface space. The only issue I had was that the bin that is supposed to hang at the end wasn't wide enough to fit the frame. I just rigged it with zip ties and that worked great. Overall, I am super happy with this desk!!!

Love this desk!
I love this desk! I use one half for my computer/tv set up and the other half for my crafting station. Pros+It's very spacious and can fit a lot of little add-ons for all your items, like desk drawers, bins, etc.+I do really love the color changing light feature, due to my light sensitivity I can get migraines very easily. The changing color light feature allows me to find a color that is easy on my eyes and still allows me to see and complete my work.+The two usb ports and power strip have really come in handy in helping me work on my crafts while charging my phone or using my desk fan.+The desk also has the ability to become a few inches taller, you will have to set the height during setup though, afterwards its a bit harder.+The keyboard shelf is also great because it helps keeps the desk top more accessible for other items like if I need to write in my notebooks while still typing away my documents.+Above the shelf for the tower is another smaller shelf where I have my Xbox and a separate usb multi-port.+Finally I really like the peg board, I havent filled mine up with tools yet, but I know it will help me once I've finished organizing my study. Good yet badThe desk also has a shelf for your tower, but keep in mind the height of your tower and whether you have usb ports atop it because it may be difficult or impossible to place your tower safely. The height measurement of this shelf is 20.5 inches or 52.07 cm, my tower fits just snug enough but I can't use the usb port atop it because there is no room. Cons-The book shelf feature though could be a little more sturdy. During setup I had put my book collection on the shelves and it began to bow and buckle in the middle so I had to quickly move everything off before any permanent damage was made. I only store light items there now. All in all I really like this desk, it was a great purchase that has really helped me organize my study and get things done. The only thing I would change is more support on the shelves for books.

Wobbly but everything else is A-ok!
This desk is.. Alright. First off, it was missing the LEDs that it said it came with, but I’ll give customer support that they sent me a new desk since I complained. Building it was pretty easy but man is the alignment is wrong and super wobbly. The quality of everything and the wood is not very good, it’s very mid. The storage on the bottom is nice but if you have a bigger build you won’t fit with it. It’s a bit uncomfortable with my legs but since I always sit with my legs up it wasn’t a concern to me. Labeling of the parts was fine, the stickers are a bit hard to remove and i’d be lying if i said I’ve removed every single one now. Overall, it functions like it needs to, it’s a bit wobbly but it is beautiful and worth it if you’re on a budget.

Absolutely perfect! I'm in love
I don't think I could've asked for a better experience. This desk was extremely easy to build, it includes every tool you need, and it comes very very protected. I built it by myself. Quality feels amazing, and it has a ton of screws which make it sturdy. My pc didn't fit tall wise, so I had to improvise and "raise" the shelf above the pc area. I didn't install the keyboard slider so I used those pieces to raise the shelf as you can see in the last picture. It's hard to explain, but essentially the pc is now holding the shelf. I won't be putting anything there, of course, but it's a workaround I thought I'd share. You can also just completely take that piece off and it won't affect the desk. The color is a bit of an off-white which I wasn't expecting. I have white walls and you can see the contrast, but it looks fine during daylight (first picture). **The drawers on the pictures are not included! I bought those separately here on Hawkins Woodshop.** Lastly, mine hasn't "bent" like other reviews have shown, and all the holes for the screws fit perfectly. Overall, I'm very happy and satisfied with the purchase. Worth the money :)

Follow the directions to avoid issues!
So I like most people read the 1 star reviews. I’m going to address some them. The power outlet is not from the 80s and is safe to use with most things. I only had 1 screw hole not line up and it was because I didn’t follow the directions. I included pictures of the keyboard drawer sliders because it was difficult to see the small details in the picture showing the orientation. I experienced no splinters or any defect in any of the parts except for the one leg it looked like the powder coat was rubbed. This took me about an hour and a half to put together it was not difficult but recommended doing it where you want the desk to go. I did have a screw strip out during the wrong hole fiasco and the included screw driver was poor quality and stripped so I had to use one of my good ones. At the end of the day this is a cheap desk $170 for a desk of this size is a screaming deal. It was a much needed upgrade for me and shipped fast. It feels large and has a lot of work space while simultaneously not taking up too much room. Follow the directions and read the first step about not tightening everything down until it’s assembled and that will prevent the “uneven” wobble. This desk is sturdy.
