Techni Mobili Storage Computer Chocolate
I purchased this desk for my son who is old enough to start using a computer and needed a place to keep his school stuff and do homework. We wanted something that looks modern and not too child specific so he can use it years later (who would want to have some cartoon themed furniture as teenager).
Pros: First off this is a very nice desk for the price, and seems sturdy enough that it could actually last many years. I found it well laid out with some very convenient features for wire routing and access. Storage space is adequate. Everything lined up nice and the mechanical parts (hinges, rollers, slides) operate smoothly. One of my favorite aspects is that you can actually pick up the desk and move it if need be and not feel like it's going to break apart due to handling. Most inexpensive furniture suffers from this issue, that is being weakly constructed. This desk is not like that.
Cons: I only have minor drawbacks to list such as the assembly takes about 2 hours. There are many parts but they are all numbered and the instructions are clear so it's not a problem just be prepared to take inventory and spend some time putting it all together. Keyboard tray could be a bit wider to accommodate a full size keyboard and leave more room for the mouse. It's usable as is, but the mouse space is a bit cramped. I think I will purchase a smaller format keyboard with a travel-style mouse for my son, to make it more comfortable to use.
Bottom line: if you like the style based on the picture, and don't mind the assembly, you'll be happy with this desk.

This desk is great! Good quality and size. It did take sometime putting it together so I highly recommend having 2 people but its well worth it!
BalasHapusDesk works and looks great. The door and drawers feel smooth and well made. Nothing on the desk seems cheap or flimsy. I like that the finish looks more like paint and not stain. Only other feature I would like is for a raised shelf on the top rear of the desk for the monitors.

BalasHapusNothing but compliments on this dope desk. I spent two weeks looking at everything on Amazon and overstock, etc. This one has been called "unique" and is often credited with curing polio. Do yourself a favor and buy 10!
BalasHapusThe Good:
BalasHapusThis desk is exactly what I was looking for. It pleased my wife as well as my technical needs (I'm a web developer / gamer). It can hold 2 laptops, 2 widescreen monitors and also have room for an iPad and writing area. The "semi-desk" under the main desk is also very useful for storing phones, keys, wallets, headphones, more laptops, and other gadgets.
The Bad:
CPU storage cabinet is small. I had to downsize form a mid-size tower to a mini-tower. It takes max 16 inches depth and 16 inches height. There is also a shelf at the top. If you get rid of the shelf you can probably go up to 18 inches in height.
Could be good or bad:
Took 3 hours to build. One person is enough. Be patient.
Very cool computer desk, delivered earlier than expected. Very time consuming to build the desk but other than that this product is great. Would recomend it if you need a computer desk.
BalasHapusI bought this product, after seeing the ravishing reviews here. I admit, putting the table together was frustrating. When I say, frustrating it means frustration MAX! Also, the small screw driver they provide with this table to set it up, is almost useless. Get a power screw driver of sorts, before you even begin putting this mammoth table together. The manual that comes together with the table is top notch. So, if you have the patience to carefully follow the manual and use the power driver, you should be done ideally in 5 hours. Max, 8 hours as already mentioned here.
BalasHapusNow, that we have discussed the cons of this table, which is only putting the table together. Lets take a look at the pro's. Very sturdy. I have two 24 inch screens sitting on top + books and laptop and I have no problem. The slide for the keyboard works great. The drawers fit in well and the bookshelf/CPU box is big enough. The only other thing, I might complain is about the leg space. As I am someone who is huge, 6 foot 4 inches. The width of the leg space area is not enough for me. But that doesn't deter me from giving this deserving table its 5 stars.
If you are looking for a nice and sturdy table with good design and moderate price, Look no further.
I searched diligently for a nice desk under $200 locally and online. I was getting frustrated because there seem not to be a lot of choices , and some where just not that attractive. This desk caught my eye on another website but I waited a day to buy it because a lot of reviewers were complaining on how difficult the assembly was with the desk. It seemed like most people thought it was a very nice desk so I went ahead and ordered it. I received it rather quickly and shipping was free which was a plus.
BalasHapusI am going to agree and say the assemble requires patience; however, it is not as difficult as some mentioned. It has a lot of small parts, mostly screws. I think the reason for this is that this is a very well designed desk. I am in the middle of the pack as far as being handy, and I was able to handle it without much trouble. It did take me about 7 hours to put it together but I paced my self to make sure I did not mess up. Some people might cry at that amount of time but the end result is well worth it .
Now on to the desk itself...The wood on it feels like real wood , not like the cheap stuff you get at Walmart. It feels very sturdy not wobbly like some other furniture you sometimes buys. The designed is great in that you have a cabinet for your pc tower to hide it and you have filing cabinet and 2 drawers. I like the fact that you have some counter space between the your cabinets and top part of desk. It works great for little stuff like Ipods, etc. The desk is heavy so here is a tip... BUY MOVING MEN SLIDERS AND PUT ON THE LEGS TO MAKE IT EASY TO MOVE IT. I bought some at Target that stay on and they blend in very nice with the desk.
So in conclusion , yes I wish the desk assembly was less time consuming but the end result will make you forget about it. You can either buy an easy to assemble desk that you might find from Walmart and then you are not sure if you like it, or you can suffer a little bit putting it together and be in love with your new work station . I would buy this again. Hope it helps someone :)
Was on the hunt for a reasonably priced computer desk that could hide my cpu and still look clean and compliment my home. I love the look of the product and the weight...it's not lightweight, very heavy and seems to be durable. It was a lot of manual labor, but instructions were good and I like doing these kinds of projects. Extremely happy that I found this item for a great price and looking forward to having it last for years to come.
