I am moving into a new house and needed to provide work space for my computers. I do photo editing, blogging, and run a home weather station with a dedicated PC server. I needed a large, functional work space and wanted to keep the cost down. I had considered the classic DIY butcher block countertop on file cabinets approach. This line of furniture turned out to be less expensive, more attractive, and more suited to the purpose.The relatively low cost of this line made me skeptical, but the reviews, for the most part, were favorable. I went ahead and purchased this desk and also a Series A 48W Corner Desk. Now that I have it put together, I am very pleased with this purchase.Instead of the corner desk desk, I now wish I had purchased two these instead. You can see my review of the corner desk for the details and my recommendations. Basically, two of these desks would have provided more usable space at a lower cost.This desk was very easy for one person to put together. After assembly, it becomes an attractive, sturdy piece of furniture. The slate gray/white spectrum colors are sleek and high tech looking. The cable management is a nice touch eliminating a lot of wires dangling in the back.The unit arrive undamaged and in good order.I felt the matching file/drawer cabinets for this line were overpriced. Instead I added a Hirsh Industries 20" Deep Box-Box-File Mobile Pedestal in Charcoal to provide drawer and file space. I like it so much, I plan to purchase one more.I would definitely recommend this desk for a home office or computer room, but avoid the corner desk.
