Broadway Black Computer Desk

Overall, very nice desk. I was pleasantly suprised how easy it was to assemble. I also like that they included a touchup pen, which I needed since the shipping box had partially torn open during shipping. I did have a few scratches on the edges to touch up, nothing major though. My one complaint is that the design for the keyboard tray is poor. The screws must go into the edge of the particle board material, which causes the particle board to split, causing a very flimsy connection to the rails. We actually just removed the keyboard tray and didn't use it. It also was so low even my wife bumped her knees on the tray. I would recommend this desk with it's simple clean design only if you don't need the keyboard tray, or are inclined to take the time to beef up the mounting of the tray to the rails.

The desk looks great and I thought it went together very easy. The pieces are not marked, but it was easy to figure out. I am about 5'5 and the keyboard tray rests on my lap. We are going to re-drill holes to move it up, but we only have an inch and a half of room. Also, when we move it up, it will no longer be aligned with the shelf. Also, the desk services scratches very easy (a notebook made some marks).

Box came a little banged up, but the desk was not damaged in the least. Easy to put together, all screw holes lined up. No missing pieces and it only took about 30 minutes to put together. Coordinates very nicely with several different branded semi gloss black finish furniture items i already owned.

If you are looking for a desk that is terribly constructed, difficult to put together, and made with the cheapest parts available, then this is the desk for you! After completing the first 4 steps of assembly I quickly realized that many of the predrilled holes were not in the right place. With a little help from the Craftsman power drill, a level, and some Tylenol I was able to complete the assembly, and my son learned a few new swear words in the process. I'm hoping to get at least 2 years out of this desk but I have my doubts.

Very easy to assemble and take apart if you need to relocte. I didn't install the keyboard slide out assembly (railings on side panels and key board tray) because I find it much more comfortable to place the keyboard on the top. Feels sturdy and looks great.
