2.0 out of 5 stars Assembly like a nightmare, March 15, 2011

By 

Emrah Bayram "Emrah" (Schaumburg, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Sauder Shoal Creek Executive Desk in Jamocha Wood (Perfect Paperback)

This desk is heavy as hell, and needs at least 2 person to assembly. One person could do it with a lot of difficulty.
I had my first disappointment when the item has arrived. Some parts (and visible ones) were damaged during the transport.
Schema in general explains well how to assembly but some details are skipped, so you have to discover yourself. Assembling this unit is not comparable to assembling a simple desk or any other furniture but requires some carpenter talents. If you don't have some experience on woodwork this is not definitely for you.
Screws are just in number, so try to not loose or damage them. Otherwise you need to buy new ones and some of them are rare to find.
Material is cheap, not solid wood but kinda chipboard. So it could be broken or damaged easily during the installation. This was my case. I had some parts broken during the assembly and mounting of drawers. The finish is lacquer paint on chipboard. It looks nice.
Other problem is moving the unit. It requires at least 2 men to carry. So make sure to not assembly far away from its designed place.
Finally I finished the setup after 10 hours of work (alone) and a lot difficulties. In final, I have a nice-looking desk but one of the drawers is broken and fixed by wood glue. I have several paint damage on arrival. (probably I need to touch-up).

5.0 out of 5 stars More than meets the EYE!!, December 27, 2009

By 

Otto D. Woltke (GG, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TECHNI MOBILI Atua Wood Computer Workstation in Espresso (Office Product)

First off, this desk is perfect for anybody with a basic computer set up. You got you Mid-tower storage area on the bottum right, and there is enough room for cables sticking out of the Tower on the back and the wires go thru back port of the desk... NICE!!
On the other side you got a drawer for files (wires and gizmos for me) and office stuff, and there is a thinner drawer above that one. Above the second thinner drawer is a slide out tray which is very convient for lets say a small scanner or something like that... I'm gonna put my PS3 there :-# Behind that slide out tray slightly above it is another convient Cable Port #cable/wire pass-tru)for Wires...again NICE!!
So far the following has been describled, the CPU Piller, and the 2-drawer/Slide out Tray.
Ok now moving up is the Middle of the desk, there are two empty section above each piller (there is a small gray/metal piece in each one for support..very sturdy# These empty section are Great for Power Supplies/Surge protectors and Game Consoles and other stuff.
Ok moving slightly up is the Keyboard tray what can I say... It a basic one with Stops#for safety#, my keyboard fits good enough their, but you really can't have the mouse there.
OK now for the desk area, ample enought for 2 or 3 LCD Monitors #I've tried this before.. though only 2 worked with my video card...different story..)and the little side stand is currently holding my TV antenna and Lamp, though I did have my second LCD (20in) there for a while.
well thats all their is too say.
Oh one more thing, I got mine on clearance from Stapls for a good deal, I would Say that $159 sounds about right.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good desk smaller than appears in picture!, March 9, 2011

By 

JenJam329 - See all my reviews

This review is from: TECHNI MOBILI Atua Wood Computer Workstation in Espresso (Office Product)

Overall this is a nice desk. I didn't have any of the problems putting together that everyone else did here. It is no more irritating than any other self assemble furniture. The color is a little darker than pictured most of my friends think its black its very hard to see the brown tint under a conventional light.
Now, for the bad news, this is a tiny desk for the price. The height is fine but the desktop space is pretty small and even smaller are the shelves and drawers they are tiny and the picture is totally misleading here there is no way the tower pictured could fit or the scanner. I am pretty sure these pics were photoshopped in to fit. The shelf with the scanner on it can hold an Ipad pretty neatly but unless you have a tiny scanner no way. The drawers together are not as big as one file drawer.
Bottomline- its a nice SMALL desk if you have limited space and don't mind the price but if you want a real desk with a decent amount of storage put a few extra dollars with it and you can get a pretty nice one at any furniture store and guess what you don't have to put it together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice desk, bit small for a mid-size tower, November 21, 2010

By 

William Reinwald "Bill" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: TECHNI MOBILI Atua Wood Computer Workstation in Espresso (Office Product)

Recently got this and put it together, it does look nice, and the construction is decent and it feels solid once together (drawers and keyboard slide is very quite and smooth). It is basically black (they call it espresso), and has some laminate cover on the wood that has 'grain' patterns on it. I did *not* need a power screwdriver to assemble this, and had no issues with hole alignment like others did.
The few downsides I have noticed are:
1) The side where the CPU goes is smallish - the picture they show in the ad makes it appear the case would be flush with the front, but of course cables stick out a bit, especially the video cable, and so the cpu sticks out an inch or so (the bottom curve is 19" from the back).
2) The 'shelf' on the CPU side is a bit under 17" from the bottom and is not adjustable at all, so might not fit your CPU (the shelf doesn't need to be used for structural purposes and can be left out). I'd prefer a few peg & holes that the shelf could sit on and allow for adjustments.
3) The keyboard shelf is a bit small, so having keyboard and mouse together is a bit difficult, if you use a trackball you'll be ok.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ergonomic, Stunning, but assembly intensive, December 21, 2009

By 

J. Timber (Casa Grande, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Bestar Hampton Wood Home Office Corner Computer Desk in Tuscany Brown (Office Product)

I spent about 5 1/2 hours putting this desk together. This arrived on a pallet and is very heavy. The deliver guy will not put this desk in your home. They can put it in a garage or by your front door.
At first glance this can seem like an overwhelming project once you get the box open and sort out the parts. It's manageable to do for one person but the instructions recommend two. This is time consuming. Not ever part was labeled clearly so keep that in mind when your looking for part #73.
The desk is stunning when its completed. Its sturdy and of very good quality. I find it very ergonomic and I would highly suggest this to someone who is at their desk for extended hours.
The price of this desk goes up and down very frequently. Try to buy on a low day to make up for the shipping cost.

By 

Howie Bellovin "Moosehb" (Ocala, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bestar Hampton Wood Home Office Corner Computer Desk in Tuscany Brown (Office Product)

The desk arrived pretty quickly (6 days-Canada to Florida).
It was in a single box that weighed about 170 lbs.
The biggest challenge were the instructions, they were mostly exploded views with arrows pointing to where parts went.
It took me 5 hours to assemble, the instructions said to have two people putting it together. I was alone is probably why it took that long.
Make sure you're away from the walls when working on it, the last steps is to get behind the desk from the bottom and secure it, and then you really need two people to move it closer to wall.
When it's assembled it looks great. It takes up quite a bit of wall space, but very functional.
All and all, I'm very satisfied with the desk.

For the price, this desk is amazing. It was relatively easy to assemble, though it took me about three hours to complete. It's surprisingly sturdy and can even hold my 200lb-weight kneeling on it. The cabinet is nice to store your CPU without it being visible (back of cabinet has option to leave open to allow air circulation).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice workdesk!, February 18, 2010

By 

M. Weng - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: TECHNI MOBILI L-Shape Corner Wood,Metal Computer Workstation in Mahogany (Office Product)

This desk looks great and has alot of desktop space. Just received it last night and it was very easy to install. Took me over 3 hours but I was doing it by myself and decided not to use an electric screwdriver to prevent overtightened screws or damages, yes call me cautious :P
Anyway, the thing that impressed me from beginning to end for the installation was the well packaged parts and especially very well-labeled parts leading to major ease of installation. The instruction manual is very well-detailed and points out exactly which part number and screw number to use at each step. Very idiot-proof in my opinion. All pieces arrived in great condition. The keyboard plank had a minor scratch on the rear surface but nothing to really upset me about. One screw did not have its head indented properly so I couldn't use the Phillips screwdriver but thank goodness a bag of spare screws was included for each of the approximate 8 screw types. This is a nice luxury I rarely see other manufacturers provide.
My only other gripes about this desk are that:
1) The corner surface's single straight leg support seems to fall a little short. Maybe it's my uneven floorboards but I had to untwist the leveling wheel to its maximum support distance.
2) The 4 front legs also tend to be a bit sharp. During shipment they are covered by a black plastic sheath/protector. I usually wear slippers at home but I plan to drill holes into the sheaths and re-insert them before screwing the circular feet back in so that I would not accidentally cut my toes or feet when moving about at the desk. They should have made the plastic sheaths gray with openings at the bottom to let use simply attach the table feet right into the legs.
All in all still an excellent product and willing to give it 5 stars.

This review is from: TECHNI MOBILI L-Shape Corner Wood,Metal Computer Workstation in Mahogany (Office Product)

I actually purchased this desk directly from [...] (through Amazon.com) because it was about $20.00 cheaper. The desk is pretty solid and enough space for all of my computer peripherals and more. It took a little over an hour to assemble myself, but would have likely easier with an additional pair if hands.
I was worried that the bolts would be cheap aluminum, as I have experienced with other desks, but to my surprise everything was solid.

By

This review is from: Graphite & Frosted Glass L-Shaped Computer Desk with CPU Caddy (Office Product)

This desk is perfect for my room, very sturdy also. The frosted bottom of the glass gives it a great look.
My only issue with this desk (but hardly deserving of 4 stars) is the assembly. While the concept of assembling it is very easy, the screws going into holes is not. The corner piece was a little bit of a pain to attach to the left and right side of the desk and not being lined up perfectly. I had to adjust a few things. Like put flat washers here and there to make the glass level with each other. Other than my assembly frustration, definitely the best desk I have seen around and great for value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Attractive and Solid Corner Desk, September 7, 2011

By 

Ranch Cook - See all my reviews

This review is from: Graphite & Frosted Glass L-Shaped Computer Desk with CPU Caddy (Office Product)

This desk took me a several hours to put together. There were no pieces missing which is always a good thing. Everything was well marked and the packaging was pretty good as well. Although there was some shifting of some of the components during shipping, none were scratched or damaged. There were some problems with the glass tops being equally level where they butt up to each other, so I had to use some rubber washers to raise the lower pieces up to match the higher one. This was not a big issue since I had an assortment of washers, but it would be nice if they included some rubber washers for this purpose as I did note another person with the same issue here on Amazon before I purchased my desk. Now that the desk is complete I will say that other than the keyboard drawer not being wide enough to fit a standard keyboard and a mouse pad I love it. I just put the mouse pad on top of the desk. It is a solid desk, the keyboard drawer slides well and the light green tint to the glass does not show dust! If it were not for the "undersized" keyboard and flush issues with the top I would have given this desk a 5 star rating. It is a great looking desk that I consider an excellent value and I do highly recommend it.

Javaman "jpeters318" (Minneapolis, Mn United States) - See all my reviews

 

This review is from: Sauder Edge Water Computer Desk in Estate Black (Office Product)

I bought this desk a month ago, but it also has the top part not shown in this photo. It is made of composite material and is not solid wood. Yet for the price it is very sturdy and not of the cheaper Saduer fame. It did take me a long time to put together. 3 hours for top part, and 4 hours for bottom. Being fastidious, I wanted to make sure it was assembled correctly.
Instructions are pretty good with only a little confusion on door slider placements. Other than that the engineering on this was superb. I couldn't believe how accurate every single hole that was pre-drilled was placed. I mean this is obviously a computer controlled drilling CNC machine that they spent a lot of time programming becuase everything was perfect!!!!
For the price you will not be able to buy a nicer, stronger, more good looking desk. Forget solid wood desks as they easily cost 4 to 5 times the amount.
Highly recommended!

I bought this desk to use for a home office in which I work from home on a laptop. This desk is stylish and perfect for the room. It does take a while to put together 3+ hours, but it was well worth it. The top of the desk was slightly dented during shipping but other than that it came in good shape. All in all a good purchase for someone looking for a stylish desk without spending upwards of 600-800 dollars (I got it for 175 with free shipping).

Sychodellica - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sauder Edge Water Computer Desk in Estate Black (Office Product)

I was expecting a lower quality product; perhaps loose fiberboard with very rigid laminate shell. Instead I got a very dense fiberboard with very rigid laminate shell. It went together very well and is quite sturdy. The only real negatives: poor instructions (not super poor; I imagine online videos are quite useful.) One thing I disliked was having to nail the backing on; it just felt wrong. I think rotating clamps would have been a better idea (though I do understand that it is intended to give an illusion of a fully wood desk.) My desktop was slightly damaged during transit (nothing major) but when notified of this, Sauder sent a new one free of charge. I have to say that I am very, very impressed.
