Promising review: "I ordered this for my kid's bedroom. It's not too big. I'm looking for something that doesn't take up too much space, but she can keep her stationery organized. The table completely served its purpose. It provides a reasonable amount of space for the monitor and has a pull-out keyboard tray. I really like this table. It has good weight, so it doesn't lean at all. The keyboard tray is also sturdy." —Anwar

Promising review: "If I could give this desk 10 stars, I would. For the money, you will not find a better desk out there. I was skeptical about buying a desk on Amazon, but I took the chance and I’m so glad I did. Pictures don’t do it justice, but the overall QUALITY of this desk is amazing. Very thick sturdy board and metal frame. Does not wobble and everything lines up perfectly. Instructions were super easy to follow and came with everything needed to assemble. If you’re thinking about buying this desk, do it." —Phillip H

Promising review: "I bought this desk because I have owned Sauder furniture in the past that held up well throughout several moves. The price was right, it looked like it could hold several monitors, the desk gave me a choice of layout (which side to put the drawers and PC cabinet, and one of three places to mount the keyboard tray). It looks beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice." —SavedByGrace
