Space Saving Desk for the Economic Troubled or Wary Amazon Shopper of the United States of America., November 5, 2009
This review is from: Home Laptop Notebook Computer Desk Table - Easy Assembly - Light Cherry and Black Finish (Office Product)
The desk is made of quality wood particle with plastic rods/tubes that link together. You will need a mallet or something to smash insert caps and two nails. Also, you need a Philips screwdriver. The directions are clear and easy to read. The desk dimensions of 23.6"(L) x 15.5"(W) x 29.7"(H) is accurate.
Once assembled, the desk shakes from the slightest touch, but it is a durable desk for probably 5+ years. The keyboard dock(?) is too small for my ergonomic keyboard and having the mouse on the desk is a bit awkward. Having a large 22" monitor dominates the space, along with speakers.
*Beware! There are sharp and pointy corners on the wooden rungs(?) at the side. These are quite close to your feet, knees, hands, and possible running toddlers or other human-like substitutes. So I guess this is not baby proof unless you place caps or duct tape to the corners.
**One last thing to point out is that the top plate has a strip lining that goes around the edges. Be sure that the part that has the over-lapped lining is facing the side you don't want to see. I just realize this after I finished placing my stuff on the desk. I don't know if I want to uninstall it though.
***For the price of $26.99 with Amazon Prime, it is a fantastic deal.
****(See the pics I made for possible references if you want, it's your internet time. Not like there isn't enough internet time available in 24 hours.)

Just ok, August 14, 2010
This review is from: Home Laptop Notebook Computer Desk Table - Easy Assembly - Light Cherry and Black Finish (Office Product)
Pros:
Looks nice
Cons:
*Table shakes every time I use it. Even just to type. I put it next to a wall so the shaking is minimized.
*Very small keyboard pullout. I don't have a fancy keyboard and it doesn't fit on the table (width).
*If you have anything but a small tower it will not fit. My tower sticks out 3 or 4 inches in the front and back.
Summary:
Given the choice I would not buy this again. I'd spend the extra $20 and get something better or try Craig's list.

I was probably just unlucky, July 11, 2010
This review is from: Home Laptop Notebook Computer Desk Table - Easy Assembly - Light Cherry and Black Finish (Office Product)
...because this particular order arrived with hardware missing -- no screws, none of the small metal parts required for assembly. I'm a senior, a stroke survivor just returning to the work force with a telecommuting job. With renewed employment, I was able to move from a furnished apartment to a nicer, bigger place, unfurnished, and this inexpensive unit seemed a good way to set up a temporary workspace, as move-in was July 1, and I had work on July 2.
Arrived: 27th of June. On the 30th, I started assembly -- and by step 2 discovered that none of the small metal parts required for assembly were present. As it turns out, LLY fulfilled by Amazon" means minimal customer service -- no way for anyone to simply replace the plastic bag of hardware. Maybe -- if I cried or yelled or played the "handicapped senior" card -- I could have persuaded Amazon to crack open another computer desk, and just send me the plastic bag, but as it happens my telecommuting job is customer service, so I have some empathy for the poor schlub on the phone who doesn't make policy but has to enforce it even when it's stupid. So, instead of Amazon shipping me a few ounces of hardware, I shipped the desk back, and now await my credit so I can order something a little nicer, while I work from a corner of my (luckily, LARGE) TV table.
