It was easy to build, it wassnt 200$ when i bought it, which is a bit overpriced in my opinion, but still great for the money. The only complaint i have about it, which isnt that big of a problem is that after a while if you try to clean it (maybe im just not using the right cloth type or cleaning equipment anyways) the lint stays on there, not by an incredible amount but a noticeable amount which might not make it look "clean" whenever you go to wipe it down, but what mousepad does amiright. overall its made its way through moving half way across the country, a few rage slams and 2 years of nonstop gaming. It's worth it without a doubtFor reference I got the 60" model.Secondly, and this was huge for me: YOU'RE NOT FORCED TO GO WITH THE GAMER AESTHETIC. The leg insignia in the photos that says "Gamer Table" are actually optional stickers! And I personally don't use the giant mouse pad because the table top actually has this textured gun-metal / carbon-fiber pattern (that is smooth enough to write directly on top of - unlike the mousepad), and without the red, gameresque flourishes the desk looks AMAZING and more importantly PROFESSIONAL. Check the photos to see for yourself!The thing I am most impressed by this desk is the CRAFTSMANSHIP. None of the materials are cheap, and I posted pictures of the underside to give you a good idea on how much emphasis they placed on keeping the table together.I also love the EXTRA FEATURES - cup holder, double headphone hanger, and the cable management rack in the back. The cup holder even has a slit to hold the handle of a coffee mug for example. I've a mason jar in it, and there's STILL room to spare. I am so thankful that I don't have to buy a separate cable management fixture because the holes were already pre-drilled so that all I have to do is align the included part with where it's supposed to go on the table (pic included). It also comes with a controller docking station with extra USB ports but I'm not going to use it for my setup. Setting up the 3 things that I did utilize was a breeze.ONLY A FEW NEGATIVES:-Two screws were hard to get in all the way - at one point they felt stuck, but shortly after applying a bit more pressure they went in the rest of the way smoothly.-One of the diagonal crossbars seemed to not have the screw holes aligned with the two corresponding parts already constructed, so I had to really push the crossbar more than I think I should have in order to get the holes to align.Both these are only minor gripes, and once I got past them, the table has been really functional, spacious, and awesome looking.BONUSES: I guess the 3 additional features could belong here, but I want to specifically include the "cable tunnels" at the rear of the table which are super helpful and the feet which swivel so you can get a good grip of the surface even if that surface may be slightly uneven.Just some final, random thoughts:-The added depth of the table has now placed me at the perfect distance from the monitors, whereas before I was sitting way too close.-The fact that the table top is two pieces doesn't bother me in the slightest, probably in part due to me using one of those giant mousepads that goes flush over it.-The two pieces line up really well.-If you try to wobble the table, it WILL wobble. But if you're doing normal activity like an average person should, like typing on the keyboard or writing on the surface, wobbliness is NOT a concern.-The added desk space lets me push my keyboard and mouse up so that I can use it as a workbench for other things: in the last week alone I've worked on multiple laptops, and I will be able to use it comfortably when I put together my new computer this week. -The price for this table, especially against "office" computer desks makes this a no-brainer for me. I love the studio-grade feel of it, and really cannot give a higher recommendation.I really felt compelled to give my review because I don't want people to pass up on what I consider to be the perfect desk, at least for my specific needs.This desk is easy to assemble. It took about 30 minutes. All tools provide, including a screwdriver. The desk is in two pieces, but, it is very well connected together with sturdy metal framing. The full size mouse pad hides the seem so I don’t even think about it. My pad did not have the curling issue at the corner as mentioned in another review. It lays perfectly flat right out of the box. The cup holder is plastic but should support most vessels when full. The headphones bracket is metal and must be screwed in with the supplied screws. There are pre-drilled holes for the cup holder and headphones bracket, but, you can screw them in wherever you like. It arrived on time and undamaged. Feels sturdy, looks great. I am using other cable management products so I didn’t use the cable basket provided, which is metal also. I am very happy with the desk so far.Hands down, the best desk for the price. A bunch of my friends have a higher tier desk (around $600+), whereas this desk, for $180 and an entire top mousepad... you’re passing up the best deal possible. Showed up at my doorstep in the wee dark hours of the morning (had no idea it arrived as shipping never told me), unboxed and started to build. Super fun to build and the instructions were super clear and easy. I love the ease of having two cable feeders on the top of the desk as cable management is everything. The installation of the cable rack under the desk is a brilliant idea. I love how sturdy the desk is and it makes me feel a little more comfortable with the setup. Hats off to the supplier and delivery of the item with such great care. Holds a decent amount of weight to the desk. One negative thing, the entire mousepad topper is really really nice, only setback, it feels very thick under my mouse when I’m using it. Feel like the friction is a bit harder to glide over the mousepad. Anyways, not a huge deal, I’m obsessed with the desk, I’d buy 4 more for the price. It holds my 24” & 27” monitor, a nice size LED RGB Humidifier, mouse, keyboard and some other smaller items with ease. If you’ve made it this far on the comment, surprised you haven’t already added it to the cart. Which the mouse pad topper could come in different colors but I’m not complaining. Buy this product, it’s worth every $. (This is not a paid review as I wish it was).Just know this- this is the best dollar for dollar desk out there. I am surprised at the quality and useful size of this desk. No brained- for this price point, it is overbuilt. You will not be disappointed.Love this desk! Had an IKEA desk before which served it purpose but this desk is just amazing! Love the cup holder and dual headset hooks!ProsSturdy! This desk feels solidCarbon fiberComes with a full desk mousepad to protect the carbon fiber!Easy to assemble!My monitor arm mount fit in the grommet pass through on top of the desk without having to remove the grommet itself.ConsColor scheme. Wish they would allow for solid colors like all black. Not a fan of the red. At least there should be options for other colors as well like a blue or white.All in all this desk is amazing. I got it for $172 when it was on “sale”. Worth every penny IMO. I now see similar desks for cheaper but the reviews aren’t on par as it is for this desk. Love it.
