55" Gaming Desk with Mouse Pad RED

I found assembling this very easy - just follow the drawings and use your head; the drawings are not awesome but it took me less than 45 minutes. All tools you need are included, all parts fit - it was a breeze. My 10 year old freaked out when he finally saw it. He wasn't trusting his Dad to have a clue. Guess Dad's not such a dummy after all. Merry Christmas! This table is sturdy, good to look at, and with the cable management it's nice and clean. The rubber backed mouse pad that covers the surface is soft, but you can still write on a piece of paper and Logitech wireless mouse moves super smooth across the surface. Buy it.

There are many aspects of both this desk and the company selling it that I found fantastic.First: there was a shipping delay, and the seller was great with communication after I inquired about it and even gave me a discount on the order due to the issues with shipping. It wasn't even the seller's fault (was an issue wit FedEx) so kudos to them for making that right.The packaging for this desk pleasantly surprised me - it was VERY well packaged, and nothing was damaged in shipping. 10/10 there - most 'budget' furniture that I've purchased has arrived with the world's worst packaging.Assembly instructions are very basic, using mostly picture diagrams to guide you through the steps. It's really pretty easy, just make sure you look closely at the photos for orientation of the different parts, etc.This desk is very sturdy. I have two monitors mounted to the desk with swivel arms and it holds up to that stress and weight just fine. I feel like this desk can handle quite a bit of weight.Quality of materials is higher than I expected as well for the price. Strong, sturdy wood for the desktop, and nice thick and heavy metal for the legs. The only part I was a bit put down by was the screws used to hold the frame to the desktop seemed a bit small.I'm very satisfied with this desk. It has ample room for both of my monitors to be mounted on arms (one 27" and one 24" - I could see larger monitors being mounted just fine) as well as plenty of room for my mouse, keyboard, laptop, microphone mounted on an arm, PC speakers, and more! Seriously, toooons of space. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

Upon opening everything, all the parts are labeling on a simple yet effective instruction sheet that you use in order to assemble the desk. I've never assembled a desk before and it had only taken me an hour (with 2 minutes of help from my sibling to flip the desk) which is quite fast in my opinion. I love the fact that the table had come with a mouse pad, which perfectly fits with the table's dimensions. The cable management tray is really nice, along with the cup and headset holder. This all around is a amazing, affordable table.

The folks that make this desk produce a very good quality product. The fit and finish is very good; it is very sturdy. The full table mat that comes with it is necessary because the table comes in two pieces; without the table mat there would be a seam all the way across the depth of the table. The mat gives the table a distinguishing look, and nothing slips around--that's a nice bonus. I would buy this table/desk again in a heartbeat.Setup instructions try to use the picture only method. The trouble is that there are some critical bits of information that are not communicated very clearly with the very small pictures. For example, the horizontal bars that hold the legs apart and support the table come in two pieces and one piece slides into the other. The picture shows that you only use two bolts to hold these two pieces together, but the picture doesn't emphasize this in any way. So I put bolts in the three holes instead of leaving the middle hole empty. Then it wasn't clear from the pictures which way to place these horizontal bars between the legs. The picture just didn't make the features that were key to recognizing position stand out enough. So I put the bars on upside down. Each of these mistakes was frustrating. I am a mechanical engineer but I also know how to build homes, so putting things together normally is an easy task for me. But this table challenged me, mostly because I glanced at the pictures and thought I understood the intent and I went at it. Then I discovered there were important details that were very hard to see and that they were poorly highlighted as having a bearing on proper setup.I added a hanging keyboard tray to my desk and now it is my favorite WFH desk in the house. The wire tray is helpful, though also hard to see in the pictures how to put it together.

There's really two ways to approach getting a good work from home table to host computer equipment. You can try to go contemporary and get "grown up" furniture to use as a table for a PC while keeping aesthetics in the home, but not really build for real computer use outside of a laptop and maybe a small monitor. The other option is to get a PC gaming table that comes purpose built and is functional-built for a full PC setup -- at the cost of looking like you just built out a man cave for a 15 year old kid.The largest challenge I've found with looking for reasonable office furniture is that most of it is not built for home use. And the home furniture that might match home decor will run 3x-10x more than this gaming desk. Wayfair, overstock, home depot, office max, etc. Insult to injury, many of these tables were just out of stock during the pandemic, and therefore tons of gouging. Tables, chairs, all fit within these challenges. You will end up paying office furniture prices to get anywhere near the utility we all are hunting for.In the end, I took the plunge on this $170 dollar table, along with a $150 matching gaming "race seat" chair with built in posture support. Loving it, saved myself a bundle (probably $1200-$1500) by not getting like a herman miller chair and fancy looking furniture that i'd classify with the quality of online ikea (MDF).... and there's a functional drink holder to boot. Booya! :-)
