  It left me with positive impressions, it seems stable, but as with all things, time will tell. The only thing I didn't like, although it's a personal preference, is that the shelf above the drawers is movable, I would have preferred it to be fixed.

  The serious disadvantages of it:
  The mechanisms for the keyboard shelf and the shelf above the 2 left drawers are useless.
  Replace them with better quality ones for 1 euro! The drawer mechanisms are okay.

  The mechanism on the keyboard shelf broke in a week. I plan to replace this shelf with a large pencil case for small items. It is useless anyway as it hits my knees. In the photo, one of the 4 screws (2 on each side) that support the shelf is shown. Completely unacceptable.

  The useful depth of the drawers is 28.4cm (not enough for A4 size) while it could be 40! There is unused space of 15cm BEHIND the drawers. I plan to make new drawers and attach the existing fronts to maintain the design. I will come back with photos.

  On the right side, the space for the computer does not fit a midi tower, but it has an opening for cables to pass through. There is a missing hole in the back of the desk where the PC goes to make it more functional. There is a hole, but it is in the exact upper part and you have to pass the cables to the open side on the back left.

  The depth of the desk does not leave much room and it is necessary to use an arm to prevent the screen from touching the surface.

  The black color is the worst for dust.

  One plus: It does not have sides in the section below the surface (where the legs are) and if you place it next to a bed, you do not need a nightstand!

  I am coming back with the upgrade I made to the desk to make it more functional:

  1) I decided to put one of the old small drawers on top since I use the printer shelf more for papers and the space above it was unused. I placed it more inward to match aesthetically. Photo 1

  2) I replaced the mechanisms for the printer shelf, although I had to cut 4mm from the width of the shelf to fit the overall width with the new mechanisms. They need to be spray painted black because they stand out. Photo 2

  3) The keyboard shelf was abolished and replaced with a lower one for pencils, small tools, and other small items. Photo 3

  4) I enlarged the two drawers in depth, although I couldn't find black melamine, but it doesn't bother me since the white material is only visible when the drawer is open. Photo 5

  The final result is shown in photo 4

  I came after 5 years, time to evaluate it. I am a very nervous person and I react to the slightest thing. Let's go in order.
  1. The desk was difficult to remove from the packaging, which means that no matter what happened, it wouldn't be damaged.
  2. During assembly, I don't remember exactly, but it frustrated us quite a bit because there is no piece that can be placed in two different spots. However, the instruction booklet was very good (even though we only looked at it when something went wrong).
  3. It is stable but also flexible at the same time, which means it can withstand impact.
  4. Unfortunately, the space to place the computer inside the desk (that one down on the right) is not that big, so a large tower won't fit, but a midi tower will.
  5. For our gamer friends who have cases with windows on the left wing and enjoy seeing their lights, forget it. It has that shelf on the right side, so you will have to place the computer on the left. Don't even think about removing that shelf and the 3 bars, as the right side won't be as sturdy if you do that. If you put the PC there without them, it will fall down.
  6. For those who want to know if the desk is durable, YES it is, IF you put everything on top of it. It took many hours of Rainbow 6 Siege, League of Legends, CS, PUBG, and Beam NG Drive with a steering wheel and force feedback at maximum to cause damage (I will include photos). The first thing that got damaged was the sliding surface under the center, which constantly hit the wood. On the day it collapsed, there was a baking dish on top of it. The other damages that the desk suffered were due to my carelessness (and aggressiveness), not because the desk was not good.
  7. I would only recommend the sliding surface under the center for using it as a plate. It didn't work for me to write in notebooks, have a book, or use a keyboard and mouse. The truth is, my keyboard and mouse are a bit large in size, but even then, I would only recommend it for browsing.
  8. Last but perhaps most important. No matter how "strong" the desk may seem, there is no chance it can be moved more than 5 meters with less than 4 people before it gets completely destroyed. Plus, if it goes through the door, the movers won't be able to get it through. For moving it, the center surface needs to be disassembled from the two side metal things to make it into 3 large pieces, and then it can be moved.

  That's all I had to say!
  For the desk: 10/10
  For a student: 5/10
  For intense gaming: 11/10

  It is a very good and huge desk... Besides professional use, it is also a desk for gaming... As for assembly, don't expect it to take less than 3 hours... It took me almost a whole day

  The shelf where you place the keyboard and mouse is very small, you can't move the mouse well or the case or whatever it's called where you put the PC because it's closed. It is good and very stable, the shelves, if you open them too much, not to take something out but to put something slightly bigger, they will fall somewhat, but it is still good. We placed the PC on top of the monitor stand and it's great

  After much research on the comments of others, we decided to buy it. Indeed, it has a sturdy construction and it takes time and if you have experience and knowledge in furniture assembly, then you can manage it just fine. Comments:
  1. Its color is black, not beige, because I have the rest of the furniture in the living room in this color.
  2. You can skip the shelf to place the tower of the PC, it doesn't make a difference in its assembly. We also didn't place the small shelf on top of the desk, it doesn't suit us at the moment.
  3. It doesn't have any outlet for the placement of the PC tower cables, neither on the side (as shown in the photo of the light-colored equivalent furniture) nor on the back. Due to experience and tools, we opened a hole ourselves in the back and properly placed the tower.
  4. When the assembly is finished, you realize immediately when you move it that even though it is sturdy, it is not stable (it wobbles). We took a piece of 130x15 cm and placed it on the back to stabilize it (what you see behind in the photo).
  5. The drawers fit exactly at the height of A4 papers, as shown in the photo.
  6. Its compartments are very good and it suits us as a desk both in terms of functionality and appearance (even though it wasn't the color we expected).
  In summary, we would buy it again, but at a lower price due to shipping costs. That is, if it was available with shipping included at the price of €80.00.

  Difficult to assemble, heavy, and many pieces, for example, the drawers either do not fit due to poor construction or are useless (like the keyboard drawer)

  I recommend it to those who want a relatively small desk and generally a more "lightweight" piece of furniture in their space, without losing practicality and aesthetics.

  The remarks made about the assembly are absolutely accurate, there are some mistakes I think, but using logic, you can overcome them.

  The only negatives I find are the small leg room and perhaps the height of the writing surface being somewhat low for tall people, but they can be improved with the right chair, in short, that's it.

  4/5

  It looks nice in the photo, but not so much in reality. Be careful with the scratches, it says otherwise but we'll see. I couldn't align the drawers properly and they get stuck. The keyboard drawer is useless and uncomfortable. The space for the central unit is 40 cm in height and it doesn't fit inside, I have it outside. And it is very heavy, at least 40 kilos. You will regret it.

  The desk is wonderful. It arrived yesterday and I assembled it. It is a sturdy desk, which you wouldn't expect considering its price. The assembly is easy, if you separate the pieces as mentioned in another review. I put post-its on each piece so that I wouldn't get confused and I finished it on my own quite quickly. The difficult part is the rails for the drawers... a nightmare! The only reason is because the instructions for the rails are very general and it's not clear where each piece goes. I had to put them on and take them off two or three times! Other than that, once you set it up, you will enjoy it!
  A small observation - the drawers are small, smaller than A4 glue. Which means that if you want to put documents inside, they won't fit. They are for small items and office supplies.
  If your hands are not handy or you don't have someone to help you, think again. The final result is impeccable.

  I don't have much to say guys, everything has already been said by the previous speakers. Very beautiful nice Designato office good quality for its price, I didn't expect it, it will show in practice how good it is and how durable it is after some time. However, I highly recommend it easily for its price... Beyond that, you should know that it is difficult to fix it after being in water for 3 hours, and it is heavy to transport, you need 2 people to carry it...

  The desk is elegant, comfortable, and very good for working at home. The assembly is quite difficult, but if you separate all the pieces from the wood, put the screws in little cups so you don't have to search for them and to prevent the other components from getting lost, follow the instructions and put them in order (e.g. frame (plate/side drawers and tower)/screws (cups)/components on one side, drawers/shelves/rails/screws (cups) etc. on the other side, keyboard/rails/screws (cups) on another, etc.). And make note of the parts that you find to be very complex. Only then will you take less time and won't struggle or suffer for any 5 hours, and the assembly will become easy and make your life easier.

  Try it and if you don't find it easier, then spit on it...!

  It took me 2 hours and 40 minutes to distinguish and fix it due to its weight.
  The difficulty is how to install the rails so that the shelves and keyboard roll correctly. However, if you have already assembled drawers, the way to assemble the drawers and how to install the rails and make them roll correctly is not difficult.
  Even though I filled the living room with things, it was worth the effort.
  P.S. It doesn't matter if you have all the materials in the world, if you don't put the wood in order, the screws in cups, and the components organized (like TV chefs who have their ingredients ready before they start), and if you don't note what goes first, second, and don't have a second person to help, you will spend the night trying to fix it.

  P.S.2. If you have the skill and make the difficult things easy. I have an uncle who is a carpenter and I worked with him when I was young, so I learned how to assemble things like these packaged furniture...

  P.S.3. I have been doing this with all the furniture for years and it has helped me a lot.

  I am satisfied and pleased with the desk.

  I only give 4 for the weight.

  Hello friends, before you buy this desk, you should know that:
  1) it is heavy like a tank due to its material.
  2) it has great difficulties in assembly (if someone takes less than 4 hours to assemble it, come and tell me so I can give them an award), so many screws, metal grates, and poor first-time experience.
  2) if you have a tall tower like me, it will not fit in height and you will need to ignore a piece.
  3) the tower takes up a lot of space due to the cables at the back, resulting in it protruding. It should have had greater depth.
  4) the user instructions, although 6 pages long, have critical points that are fast forward.. there are some ambiguities, such as how the metal grates of the keyboard and the left shelf will be separated.
  5) after you finish the nightmare of proper assembly, in terms of functionality as a desk, I must say that it is quite comfortable and sturdy (to say something positive) and it also has a relatively nice appearance and feel of use.
  That's all, folks.. good luck to the brave ones!
