Techni Mobili Complete Computer Workstation Desk With Storage, Mahogany, 48" W x 22" D x 34" H

I don't write that many product reviews. But after saying "I'm pretty impressed with this desk" a few times, I figured I should. I got this desk for my teenage son. He has a computer and playstation. He also needed a space to do homework. I picked this desk because it was larger than many of the other student desks I saw online and in the stores. So it's not one of those tiny student desks, but also not a big corporate one. First, the desk ships in 2 boxes. It's apparently a common issue for the delivery driver to only deliver 1 box and forget the other. The boxes are labeled to stay together so I can't put that issue on the desk maker. And we did have that problem. Fortunately both boxes got delivered the same day. 1 in the morning, 1 in the evening. The boxes were actually easy to open! They are shoebox style so it was just running a knife around the tape and lifting it off. All the parts were labeled mostly in order of the instructions. There were a couple where part 7 was used after part 10, but for the most part they went in order. The instructions were very clear, everything went together pretty easily. They even pre-install the locking cogs although a few fell out upon unpacking. Still, it was a bit of a timesaver. Also, this desk fully assembles with just a Phillips head screwdriver which they include. Nothing else is needed and no allen wrenches. However I do recommend using a drill or driver. It makes the process way easier and faster. There is also 1 step where using the included screwdriver is nearly impossible. I needed a longer screwdriver to complete that one. Once assembled, the desk is nice and sturdy. It has a decent amount of weight to it but also isn't too heavy. All of the levels to it came in very handy. I found a place to put the power strip but keep it out of the way, the playstation fit on the slide out shelf on the left, headphones on the shelf to the right. (Although I'm going to add a hook for the headphones, there is nice hanging space for that.) The drawers are small, but good for holding games and extra controllers. The posts on the little elevated platform came in handy for tying phone charger and headphone extensions to. That way they stayed put were still easy to get to. The designers also thought ahead when it came to the place for the computer tower. The inside wall of that space doesn't go all the way back. That way you can just pull the computer out slightly to get to the cables on the back without having to pull the entire thing out. This is huge as cables for computers are often not long enough to do that. And there are holes on both sides to run cables through. My son is really happy with it. He even picked this one over a fancy "gaming" desk that had built in power and light up stuff. This desk is function over form. But actually, it has some form too. It is more expensive than many others of a similar size. I paid $169 in Feb 2020 but it was totally worth it. You do get what you pay for.

I have been looking for a desk this size for a while. It arrived today and took about 3 hours to put together. I could not be happier with it. It looks good. It is very sturdy. It has plenty of storage and the price was right. I highly recommend this desk.

All pieces arrived in good shape, with only the most minor blemishes. I subsequently discovered a large scratch on one piece, but I may have put it there. One cam lock was missing, but there was a replacement in the bag of spares, so I had everything I needed. Assembly took a while but wasn’t too difficult. The instructions were good; I looked at one or two of the videos but didn’t find them helpful. I only put one thing in backwards and it was easy to fix. The pieces all fit together perfectly. The desk is heavy and feels solid. The drawers do not operate smoothly despite being on wheels & bearings. Could be my poor building skills. The desk looks nice, and exactly as shown. It will look better against a wall than facing the room because the screws in the back are a bit unsightly. It’s pretty small. I may end up removing the keyboard tray because (a) it’s a bit low for me and (b) it doesn’t comfortably accommodate both an ergo keyboard and a mouse. I could probably squeeze a trackball in there but with no room to spare. Conclusion: WYSIWYG. If you’re prepared for the small size and like the design, you will likely be satisfied.

My husband loved this desk it took both of us to put it together and a couple hrs but it's sturdy and good quality it's is very beautiful in color and it works wonders it is heavy so I would recommend you put it where you want it to go and then assemble it together it takes up some space but put it where you would need space tooken up great desk I would definitely recommend this

When looking at the reviews I was very skeptical about buying this. All I can say is wow! I don't know what those other reviewers were using to assemble this but for a cheap ready to assemble desk I was astonished how easy it went together! The fit was perfect and the screws were holding tightly. This is a quality build, the instructions were very clear and it even came with spares and a screwdriver! Since we are using it in our motorhome we modified it by swapping the left and right units which meant we had to drill a few new holes but overall it went together perfectly and we are more than happy with it.

I was a little worried when this came in because there seemed to be a lot of pieces, like IKEA level of pieces, but assembly was easy enough. The directions are very clear and all pieces are labeled. Once the desk is put together, it is very sturdy. I was surprised at how sturdy it is, to be honest. It can be moved from place to place without falling apart and it holds a lot of weight. Lots of space to put stuff, too.

Too Long, Didn’t Read (TLDR): Rated 4 stars because the two rails for the left side of the drawers was covering the hole on the panel and I had to drill a hole to make it work. They key is being gentle and having patience. Read instructions Helpful tip: make sure Cam bolts are aligned. Reason why I gave 4 star: I gave a 4 star because the two rails for the left side of the drawers was covering the hole on the panel, so I had to drill a small hole where I needed to place the screw. If it wasn’t for the power tool, I would gently hammered it with a nail to make the hole small enough for the screw to set in. For me it was an easy fix, for others it may be a hard task since not everyone has a drill, which is another reason why I gave it a 4 stars. The key to assembling this desk is being gentle and having patience, especially if you are building it on your own. I used a power tool and a regular size screwdriver to help as well since it got to a point where it was hard to do it manually with the small screwdriver. Use the power tool gently and sparingly, if you don’t know how to push the trigger softly, you might overtighten and cause damage to the wood. It does take some gentleness to screw in well into the holes since they are smaller than the screws, some of the wood will chip off since it is a tight fit, those parts that chip off will not be seen once fully assembled. If it chips off, don’t worry about it, but DO NOT widen the holes, they are meant to be tight so the assembly is sturdy. I manually screwed it in, then used the power tool to tighten just before the rest of the screw went all the way in, and finished off manually. The instructions are simple. When installing the rails, be sure to read, look and compare carefully at the pictures in the booklet, I almost installed the rails backwards for the drawers and that would have been a mess. Same goes for the keyboard rail and the slide panel rail. Make sure you take the time to read before assembling. If so could I would have given a 4.5. Besides that, I love my new desk. A helpful tip, before lining up the Cam bolts with the Cam locks, you want to make sure the Cam lock is aligned well, so when you insert the cam bolt, it is easier and you don’t make the mistake to bang it thinking it is not going in. Use good lighting and you will see if the cam bolt is well aligned or not.

First the instructions are online you will have to type the name of the desk in your browser to access the instructions. Second it’s going to take about 4 hours or less to assemble which isn’t so bad while bench watching some shows. Third it’s best to get a small power screw driver to speed things up and correct mistakes. Black and decker sells the orange one you see on my desk for 16 bucks on Amazon. The desk itself looks nice and the wood shines when polished. The desk fits my 36” monitor, printer, three speakers behind the monitor in the picture, the mid sizes computer tower and my capture card with plenty of room left over. I’m 6’4” and it fits around me comfortably. The desk is in my man cave between the couch an the second tv the room is big but I would say the desk doesn’t take up much room. The desk should fit in most rooms comfortably. All in all this is a nice all purpose cpu desk for office, home office, school, arts and design or just what ever you need or want.

This is not a desk for adult, fits my 12 yr old perfectly. However, item was well packaged, well made and went together well. Sturdy and good design, unfortunately not what I was expecting size wise. Description is truthful but the images give a distorted views of the item.

easy to follow directions, shipped in a timely manner, looks well assembled.

Un peu difficile à assembler
