It's a good place to start for a PC gaming battle station.It's wide enough for comfortably fit my wider-than-standard PC tower and my ultra-wide 35" monitor that takes up one hell of a footprint with its stand.It has plenty of room for a nice big mouse pad and keyboard without anything feeling cramped.What I'm saying is that there's a very large surface area on this desk.There's also lots of room left over for either a second monitor, a printer, or whatever else I choose to throw over there.The desk is pretty bare bones. No drawers or anything else like that. But for the price, it's a steal.It's also really simple to assemble. I had it up and ready in less than 20 minutes.Sure, you'll need one extra pair of hands to help but that's just due to the size of this thing.To compensate for the lack of storage options, I basically took apart my previous desk (also pretty cheep) and put the storage compartments under this one. It's got so much clearance that you can fit most anything in down there.I do like the cable management holes and the fact that it hides away everything behind it.Combing with smart cable management and you can get a pretty clean look.So for a PC enthusiast on a budget, this is a good starter desk.It'll get you a desk that will fit even the most beastly of towers, monitors, mouse pads, and keyboards... all at the same time and with room to spare.The simple design means you can easily add storage options below it and, provided you get something in a matching color, it will most likely blend in.I bought a mahogany 60-by-30-by-29 inch rectangular desk sold and shipped from BuyOnlineNow. Everything went according to plan, and I got the desk delivered to my residence on-time after the store called to schedule the delivery per my availability. Unfortunately, to my demise, when I opened the box, I found out that the skirt of the desk was damaged and some screws were missing. At that point, I somewhat regretted my decision to purchase the desk from BuyOnlineNow because even though I wasn't familiar with their return/refund policy, I didn't think there was any way it could be on-par or better than Amazon's.Guess what - I was wrong. Very wrong. I contacted BuyOnlineNow via email, and their customer rep got back to me within a day or two, and informed me that they would send me the replacement parts at no extra cost. I was a pretty happy camper by then. But it only got better.A couple days later, the BuyOnlineNow customer rep contacted me again and told me that it would take 8 weeks to ship out the replacement parts, and they didn't want me to wait that long. So instead, they would ship me a brand new desk (with all the parts) within ~3 weeks! Now I was impressed. It's one thing to replace defective parts, but it's another to replace the whole thing because you care enough about your customers to not make them wait.So fast forward to today, the replacement desk arrived at my residence, and it had no problems. I put it together in my den, and it looks pretty good :)Overall, the moral of the story is that I feel comfortable buying from BuyOnlineNow again because they showed me that they care about their customers and are willing to put their money where their mouth is.The desk is great. I got the one that is 6 feet x 3 feet. Looks great has a huge space to work on. There's a nice overhang where you can clamp a monitor stand. For the price, this desk is amazing really.Even though I put it together all by myself, there were no issues setting it up. The desk is heavy! The package is almost 150lbs when delivered, so you that's likely where people run in to trouble. Once you take the pieces out of the box it's not so bad. If you've got long arms and are in decent shape, it shouldn't be a problem to set up on your own though.While the desk is great, I'm very disappointed in Amazon. This desk was delivered as freight meaning that there was only one person who arrived to deliver the desk. I didn't receive any warning about this ahead of time and the desk was being delivered to a residential area. If the deliver person hadn't agreed to help me, I don't know if I could have carried the desk up the stairs and into my apartment by myself... I would have been happy to pay a bit more for the delivery to have been handled by a couple of people instead of just one. If the desk is so heavy it has to be delivered as freight, it doesn't make sense to only have one person delivering it, does it?So make sure you have someone that can help you when the desk is delivered. I was lucky and the driver was able to help me. You might not be so lucky!I bought this for my son who needed a gaming battle station. I was worried about ordering online because of all the negative reviews of it being damaged during delivery. I decided to go for it because I just couldn't beat the price. I placed my order before 4 pm and the next day at 11 am there was a delivery guy standing on my front porch with my new desk even though amazon said over a week for delivery, holy cow that was quick (mind blown)! I expressed my concerns about delivery damage and he quite willingly brought in the desk and return piece I bought and opened the boxes and checked for any damage just incase I needed to return them he could take them back right then. To my delight all the pieces were in perfect condition and packed very securely. Kudos to the delivery guy and all his extra effort to make sure I was satisfied with the product (I don't think he was a UPS driver, he had a very large moving truck). So now to the product itself. My kid couldn't be more happy with it. Putting it together definitely requires more than one person, it is very heavy, and it got a bit tricky at times but once we figured it out it went smoothly. It is very sturdy and attractive looking and would recommend it for sure.
