Monarch Specialties Writing Drawers-Contemporary Style-Home & Office Computer Desk with Metal Frame, 60" L, Dark Taupe

Great desk, lots of table top space, very sturdy, not too bad to put together, takes about 2hrs to put together. One person can do it. Overall well worth the purchase.

Came damaged luckily I was able to hide it with the drawers the bar on the bottom does not line up with where it needs to for the drawers to attach properly otherwise I like it

Update in 2023:It's been almost 10 years since I purchased this desk. I am using it full-time as my work desk. It's so durable and sleek. It definitely served its time and served me well. Recommend even more today than in when I purchased it in 2013.Original Review in 2013:I don't know why this product has no reviews. Judging by its appearance, specs and that Monarch overall seems to offer decent products, I took the chance anyway. Must say, I like the design very much. Nice, simple, attractive, and clean lines. Solid and sturdy but quite heavy because of the MDF boards. The hollow core metal frame itself is light. The flexibility of being adapted as an office desk or conference table to spread out larger working drawings when you don't mount the file drawers. Assembling it is straightforward and easy. Kind of like screwing a lightbulb, not all holes are fitted 100% perfectly but fit well enough without hassle. Good customer service. I'd definitely recommend this desk. I am also looking into adding other pieces, like a wall of bookcases to complement this piece.

I spent a lot of time to choose a good office desk and now I'm happy.The main thing that I needed from office desk that it was large, with enough space for a monitor, keyboard, mouse and notebook. And I got it - see photoThe second important thing is certainly design. To this office desk I picked the same stylish chair.P.S. Some things you need to know if you decide to buy the office deskIn the toolbox there is only a face key, but for assembly needed of two the phillips screwdriver - small and large.Assembling rather complicated, it took me five hours. Better to do it together with someone from friends. But all the materials are completed, good instruction and all the holes are drilled correctly.This table is very well packed, but the full package is very heavy, more than 110 pounds. Therefore again better get it together with someone from friends.--------But in general repeat I really like the office desk and I enjoy working on it now.

I like this desk a lot! It is sixty inches across (dimensions under the listing are incorrect, the product name is correct). I am a small woman and although the package was too heavy for me to carry up the stairs to my apartment, once I got all the pieces up there it was totally doable for me to put it together in a few hours by myself. And so gratifying! There was a tiny bit of damage to the box it came in and one of the corners of the table is dented/chipped bc of that. A bummer certainly, but not so bad that I felt the need to return it or think about it much. I just put that corner in the back. Very sturdy! Clean white space for lots of projects. I am delighted with this table.

it is big enough for me. and nice and beautiful. I love it

Overall I am very pleased with this desk. It's nice and solid, and the desktop is enormous. Perfect for a triple monitor setup + tower. The build quality is surprisingly good. The only problem is, when I got it there was a large dent in the top right corner. Like other reviewers have noted, Monarch really beats up their boxes and as a result, pieces arrive damaged.But they have a good customer service site where I submitted a damage claim, and a new desktop arrived a couple days later

I was really excited about this desk and it looks great BUT the holes do NOT line up… with a lot of finesse i got all the pieces in but once it came time to mount the side drawers there wasn’t much i could do to fix it. The center beam that mounts to the bottom is literally diagonal.

It's not high gloss white like in the picture. It looks a little cheap but it will serve its purpose.
