It took me less than 30 min. to put this desk together. But, the drawback is as many people commented, the corner piece does not fit flat with the 2 large pieces. It does seem to fit perfectly right on the corner L part but the rounded part (facing outside from the corner) would not fit flat and you can definitely see that it is not leveled. Yet, I do like this desk because it provides more space than I expected and I have been quite happy with the desk so far. If you can live with little design defect, I think it is good price for the quality.

This is a very eye popping desk, it looks gorgeous. The black glass isnt smoky at all, it looks like a solid black color, its not see thru at all, and it mirrors just like in the photo. This will make a room or office look brilliant. You can place the keyboard try on either side. the keyboard try is 25.5 inches from the floor. (something i wanted to know that wasnt stated). this desk goes amazing with the "Silverio™ Bonded Leather Executive High-Back Chair Black & Chrome". Its like they were made for each other. If you read the other reviews you will see some people who had issues with the corner being crooked and the keyboard tray being hard to pull out. I can tell you without a doubt that its all in the installation. When you build this desk put the corner glass area in last. Dont tighten anything untill the end, just screw the screws in with your fingers. Once everything is fully in place then go back and tighten all the screws. Save the end caps for very last and put them on. As far as the keyboard tray goes, the 4 brackets that connect directly to the glass are moveable before you tighten them, you want to push them away from each other in all directions as far as they will go, creating more room for the keyboard, then tighten them up. If you do these things you will not have the crooked issue or the tray issue. The glass tops on this desk are very thick and heavy, before you install them make sure they desk is in the location where its going to sit. When the desk is delivered it will come in 2 boxes, one with all the glass, the other has everything else. There is tons of styrofoam and it can get messy. The only flaw i saw in the desk was that in didnt have any storage or shelf space for my needs. So i bought 2 black glass shelf units (intended to be used for tv's) to go with the desk and wall mounted them above the desk on both sides. The "Alexa Glass Black Computer Desk" is also very similar to this desk in style and is kind of like a mini version of it. I bought that as well for my laptop docking station. They go very well together. Scotch clear mounting squares also work great if you want to attach something to the desk so its not movable and they come off very easy if needed.

The best L-shaped computer table I've ever seen for this price. There is a similar one in *** that costs around $600, which is a ripoff. The packing is very good and secured. It took some time to assemble this item, but everything fit properly eventually. I didn't have to drill new holes to fit screws as some of the other buyers have mentioned.

My husband and I were looking for a good value on an office desk, and this really fit the bill. He needed a keyboard tray, and space for the printer. I am able to use the other side of the desk at the same time, so every square inch of workspace is utilized. Very attractive and functional. The assembly is not for amateurs. My husband is an engineer, so he got through it okay.

Some reviews complained about having trouble putting the desk together. I had no trouble the pieces fit well & the screws all lined up. I ended up attaching the glass to the corner piece before putting it in place. This is perfect for my office. I operate a small business from home, using 2 computers. Looks great and does not take up a lot of room.

Very pleased with the looks. Unfortunately, the 2 tops aren't level because holes didn't line up with screws very well and had to "rig" a few parts and put screws in at an angle just to get this desk together

It came in two boxes, very well packaged. Be sure to check on all parts before discarding the box, not that they are gonna miss anything, but some of the parts are so well packaged that you might miss them. It took me 1.5 hour to put it together, and the only experience I've had with assembling furniture is putting together coffee tables. The instruction is clear, although since the frame is not the same on front and back, it would be great if it indicate which side is the front and which is the back. Overall I'd say it's easy to put together, as long as you keep everything organized, and lay everything out on the floor in order before starting. I did the most part myself, but some parts you need someone to hold it together for you when you insert the screws. The only thing I dislike during the assemble (not vital), is that when you put the key board holder in place, you need to put some small screws in to keep it in place, and it did not provide tool for that. You need to have your own tool. (just a screwdriver, I wish I had one.........) After it's put together, it's just like it is in the picture. The only thing is I don't know what the Phone/fax shelf is. It is very modern and stylish. It just feels a bit narrow, not deep enough that things might be pushed off easy, but since it's so long, it should be able to hold a lot of stuff. Overall it is a good buy,but I think i'd be happier if I am paying less than $250.

Ordered desk on a Tuesday and it arrived on the following Friday. The desk arrived in 2 boxes that were packaged extremely well. After unpacking both boxes, I was amazed at all the small parts. Once I got everything organized, assembly started out just fine. As I got towards the end, noticed that something was off. I don't know if something is bent or if the drilled holes are off, but there's a portion of the desk that is crooked. In addition to that, I had to stop and start a few times because instructions aren't as clear as they could be. After a few hours, I finally settled for it being the way it is. Although the desk is nice looking, it was quite a hassle to put together. If it weren't too much of a hassle, I would return.

So my significant other and I spend a lot of time on our computers especially with video games. If you are a gamer step away from the pimp desk and look elsewhere. The main reason why I say this is i have a G510 keyboard and a Razer mouse and there isn't enough room for both without using a tool of some kind. (hard mouse pad) I currently need to bolt the tray so it doesn't retract and use an extension so i can use my mouse. If I just used the internet and didn't need a lot of space for my keyboard and mouse this would be a good desk. One major thing about the desk is that the corner glass piece does not and cannot sit flush with the rest of the desk. I built two of these suckers and if it doesn't line up there's no chance you will be able to line it up. These desks aren't completely horrible they look really great, especially if you need them to sit back to back to each other. My real major complaint is the size of the keyboard tray and the material it's made of. For $XXX I would have expected the trays to be wide and made of glass. They are made of the crap wood with piece together furniture.

Very good looking desk, quality construction, and very sturdy. Only thing I don't like is that the keyboard tray needs to come out another 2 inches or so.

This desk is functional and the style works well for the space we had. Each leg of the desk is approximately 20"deep. The desk can be assembled with the shorter leg on either hand depending upon the configuration desired. Simple straightforward assembly. I did not have any problem with the corner piece that several reviews complained about.Nice desk, good value, great for home office application.

The desk looks great and for the money is a good value for its style. Main issue is that the holes where the glass top screws to base were mis-drilled (by 1/4 - 1/2 inch) requiring new holes to be drilled. Also, leveling the pieces, especially the corner, required the insertion of extra washers as well as the purchase of new bolts. Once assemblem, difficult to move as the tolerance between the glass pieces is so small that cracking is likely with any torque.

This table looks nice but was no fun to put together. Screws for keyboard pullout were easilly rounded out so I had to buy another screw to attach the pull out. Also the table is quite small. Be sure that you don't need too much desktop space before you get this table.

Buy This desk only if you have A LOT OF FREE time and no better thing to do. It does not assemble according to the diagram. Holes are asymmetrical and if you finally after 3 hours will manage to assemble it you will end up with crooked desk. Glass was impossible to attach due to inaccurate drilled holes. We are returning it!! Never again. such a nightmare!

If this product was 500 bucks, the rating would be 4 stars. The product was very well manufactured to my surprise. It was nearly perfect. You certainly can't expect perfectly assembled desk like this even if you pay 5000 bucks for it. If you have it crooked, it's your installation. (yes, I did that as well....this isn't wood, depends on how your screws go in, it will be off) Fiddling is required if you want it to sit perfectly the first time. However, it's not entirely required. By the time you put stuff on it, it corrects itself. Whatever is left (just uneven part on my floor), small adjustments on the feet (comes with those....not bad huh) takes care of the rest. The unit is as beautiful in person as it appears on the photos. It was everything I expected. I ordered 2 of those and put them up in a U shape. They look awesome in my multi-purpose room (office, family room, weights, yoga mats) I have 2 mounts with 2 24" LCD/LED screens each. There are a total of 6 LCDs on the tables. The room will be complete once I hang the 3D TV on the wall. For $$$ bucks, it's almost like buy 1 get 1 free:-D
This desk does not fit together very easily. Mine assembled pretty crooked due to the bolt holes not matching up the way they are supposed to.
The desk is solid and decently well built. The main spans are quite solid and sturdy. I think I will enjoy this desk. Assembly is fairly straight forward (see below) I would recommend installing the curved "corner" piece or frame and glass last. I had to loosen and jiggle this piece it to get the main pieces of glass to fit properly. The tolerances between pieces of glass are very tight and its easy to over tighten to the point where the big piece of glass is mis-aligned with the frame. I waisted an hour figuring this out (otherwise assembly was 30m) Remember optical and laser computer mice dont work on glass so you will either need to use the tray or have a mouse pad. The desk looks a little bigger in the photo than in real life. Though, I can fit my 24" monitor and 13.3" laptop on the short span with ample space to place papers and what not in front of them. The height and tray clearance seems a bit odd but i think thats because it is glass and mice dont work on glass without a mouse pad. If it wasn't glass I would say it needs to be an inch or two shorter though to properly use the tray, it needs to be an inch or two taller. I can understand the designers' dilemma and feel it was an appropriate compromise.
On two of the four legs pieces the screw holes did not line up with the mounts on the glass. They were off by about 1/2 inch. One of the screw holes in the rail, that lets the keyboard shelf slide in and out, was about a size larger that the other 3. Since I'm in construction, and handy with tools, I was able to fix the problem with a drill and larger screw. Other than that, the desk is OK. The quality of the parts that make up the desk are cheaply manufactured, but once assembled, it ends up being pretty sturdy. The tempered glass is 1/4 inch thick. it's very dark glass you can't see through it. (in case you were wondering) I guess it is ok for the money, but think twice if your not comfortable with tools.
