Atlantic Gaming Desk with Carbon-Fiber Desktop, X-Legs, Detachable Monitor Platform, Tablet/Phone Holder, Speaker Stands - Black

I decided to pick this table over others I was researching at around a 100 bucks I do not like glass-top tables. This was on discount around Thanksgiving time and seemed like a good deal. For specificity, I have the Pro Desk.The short points:Pros- Stable legs, convenient attachments for someone who uses them with a little imaginationCons- Wire mesh table draw, Some gaps in the weld between the x-legs of the table.Long Story:I've been using this desk for over 2 months now. While it is not a tremendously long usage period, I think it is enough for a reasonable review. The desk assembly took me about 45 minutes and just needed one additional screwdriver. The parts are very well labelled and easy to assemble. Instructions were clear enough for me to go through the assembly with no mistakes or issues. I attached all the bells and whistles that came with this.I am a grad student with a laptop w/ external monitor setup and a tablet. I initially thought the table might be too small for me but it holds a lot more than what I expected. I can comfortably have my stuff all over it and still have enough desk space to write on. The under-table cable management tray is a convenient. The wire mesh makes it convenient to wind all the loose cable through it to keep it off the ground. The draw gap is pretty useful for storage but the mesh makes it a bit of an annoyance. I used the same cardboard the parts came packed in to line the gaps with zip ties and it has proved to be a lot more useful. I've hooked up a usb hub to the bottom of the table near the drawer so I can leave my external storage media plugged in and close at hand but off the table top. The desk does have really hard nubs sticking out that are real knee magnets. Would advice maybe padding that with some thick tape while lining the desk with cardboard. The disk storage bars have been reconverted into slots for my books and as a stand for my table clock and lamp. The cup holder and headphone hook have been lifesavers in keeping my table tidy and clean while still having easy access. The texture on the table is very smooth and the rounded edges make it very comfortable to deal with. However, fine precision mice do jiggle a wee bit. I found it just a little distracting. If you are using a mouse pad, then that shouldn't be an issue. The table is very steady and has a good set of supports holding up the important stuff. However, I would advice getting a roll of black tape to deal with some slots in the cross legs at the welds. They can really rip a good bit of skin off if you use the bends under the table to prop your legs up like I do.Conclusion:Wonderful table for use. Looks good to last for a long time. Minor gripes which don't outweigh the pros enough for me to even consider docking a star. Would consider it well worth the ~100 bucks for which I got it. Definitely recommend it

I've had this desk for a few months now and it has been good. My previous desk was a cheap particle board one from Walmart, so this was a nice upgrade. One feature that I really like is the monitor stand. It gives me more room for my modem and router that were previously just kind of stuffed next to my monitor due to lack of space. It came with some add-ons like a controller stand, a headphone holder, a charging stand for your phone or tablet, and a rack for some games. I only really use the controller stand for my ps4 and switch controllers, and the headphone holder is currently being used to hold my switch games because my computer and headphones are connected on the opposite side of the desk, unforunately. I didn't bother putting the game rack on because of lack of space in my bedroom, I can see all of these things being useful to people, though, so it was nice to have the option to assemble them or not.The desk is sturdy. The desktop is made of wood with what appears to be a carbon fiber covering over the top that looks really nice and protects the wood from getting damaged over time. The legs are made of metal, most likely aluminum. I've had no problems with wobbling.Assembly was a breeze. The instructions were very clear and all the parts are big and self explanitory for the most part aside from which screws you should use. The screws are philips head.Overall a good desk. I like it.

This desk is an excellent upgrade from an equivalently sized glass top metal frame desk I'd had for over 10 years. This desk has a place for the monitor raised off the main desktop area, while there is no slide out keyboard try like my old desk, this won't exactly be missed as that ended up being somewhat cramped and after the years the sliding mechanism didn't work so well even with yearly lubrication. Now I can also put my cup "on" my desk, via the cup holder and not leave stains or water marks on my actual desk surface or need a cup place mat. I also like the Carbon Fiber looking wrap finish as this looks like it'll be way easier to clean dirt, stains or dust off of vs my old desk made of glass that made any little tiny bit of dirt easily visible. The little things to place CDs (does anyone really use that anymore? :P), speakers, cup, and gamepad controllers and even headphones off of the main desktop surface is a nice tough. Size is reasonable, not large so don't expect massive free space to have a keyboard and places for paper or to write on, but large enough you can easily fit a comfortable full-sized keyboard, and mousepad. The little area under the front of the desk (where a slide out keyboard try would typically exist) is just a fixed tray to hold miscellaneous things, but out of the way and out of view, potentially useful touch that I might use. The cord cutouts on both sides is also a nice thoughtful touch. The only real complaint that I have is that the tray in the rear of the lower side of the desk meant to hold a surge protector didn't seem to be deep enough. I got a new APC surge protector that wasn't particularly thick (may even be thinner than my years old CyberPower unit) and once in there, the power cables wouldn't clear the desk with the surge protector in there upgright. So I found a compromise for the moment by placing the surge protector in there upside down for the time being aligning the tray's metal bars to empty spots on the surge protector. This is not ideal and is only a temporary measure because not all the plugs will still be accessible in this manner. But it is useful to get the surge protector off the ground. Just be advised that the tray is not deep enough to fit thick surge protectors and/or certain plugs that extend outward a little more than normal or many "wall wart" type power adapters.
