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
