There are 5 levels on the desktop to adjust to any angle you like and this really handy for painting because it's like a portable easel bring your travel pallet and paint supplies to the park or to the living room, really anyplace!"
"Exactly what I wanted for using in front of the TV, while I sit on the couch coloring, etc. The drawer is very small and not all that practical, but it'll hold several pens/pencils, eraser and a pencil sharpener, but this doesn't really concern me."
"I don't recommend this for an invalid with arm strength issues as the tray itself is really heavy and one needs some strength to move it off their lap."
"The drawer can hold small items, from pens, pencils, and knick knacks. I was worried at first that the item would be cheap, flimsy, and not well made, but I was proved wrong."
"I can fit my laptop and a notebook on it to take notes and do work. It's a bit bothersome to extend and collapse since it takes time. The small metal "hooks" that are meant to hold the legs in place don't really work."
"The service deserves a 5 but I can't in good conscience give 5 for the product at this point in time since it would have the same issues I mentioned in my initial review."
"It's a well made product, however, I find it to be very heavy and cumbersome. I wish they made one of these for left-handers and put the table part on the left side, but this is a right-handed world afterall."
The workstation features an angled top, flat top and pencil ledge. Dimensions: 53.5"W x 30"D x 30" – 39"H. Dual Top Surface Allows you to simultaneously have a 42"W x 30"D Angled Top and a 11.5"W x 30"D Flat Top.

My husband offered to assemble it, but I wanted the self satisfaction of putting it together. I ordered the 53.75 size and not only am I enjoying the large desk area, but the big, wide open space beneath the desk is nice too."
"Additionally, most holes matched up with some jiggling except for the back two on the stationery top. However, the table is up on all fours and I am able to paint on it, even if flat for now. The large part of the table top is quite heavy, and even tho the legs support it well, it might have been better to have used a lighter material for the two top pieces. OK, after a good rest, attached a pencil sharpener to the flat stationery table top and noticed that the top moved just a bit, so thought I would jiggle the top piece again and see if could get the screws and holes to align, and surprise, they did. Nov 2017: after nearly two years of working on this table (and now that it is fully assembled) really like this table and am buying another, one for flat work and the other tilted for watercolors."
"The back legs need to have the side with holes drilled in it facing forward (you can almost completely put the table together before realizing you installed them backwards and the hinge mechanism will not attach!). 2) For step 3 of the instructions, attaching the front legs to the top of the table, the bolts do not need to be completely tight!"
"This desk has a penci holder attached to table top at the bottom corners that curves under the table as well as a piece of metal that is attached to the bottom center above the pencil holder, but no bottom shelf for sketchbook or canvas support."
Main work surface: 42''W x 30''D. Adjustable Angle Table Top from Flat to 90 Degrees.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I'm very glad I measured my old drafting table top before ordering, because the 42" is practically the same size I'm accustomed to; the 36" would have been too small. The only thing that was a slight concern: the upper right corner looked like it met a brick wall a couple of times before it was put in the box (I read on another review of similar damage). Suggestion: I custom cut a desk mat (Desktex Anti-Slip Polycarbonate Desk Protector, Embossed Surface, 29 x 59 Inches, Clear -- think a chair mat type of plastic, just a few layers thinner; easy to cut with tin snips like this: http://amzn.com/B000R8HSOG ) to protect the table top from all the art I'm going to be doing."
"I am NOT mechanically inclined, however this table is so well designed that I took my time and assembled it in an hour. Every hole lined up nicely and the included allen wrench was the only tool needed."
"It now sits nestled in between a great big bay window that has great light for when I start feeling a creativity itch!"
"It is a very nice desk that matches perfectly with the expresso color chair."
"After reading the other customer reviews, I wasn't sure what I'd get, but am very pleased."
"The desk is made of solid wood (I'm not sure what type) with the exception of the writing surface, which I think is plywood with a wood veneer."
"Well constructed, easy to put together, and strudy, as well as looking great."
"WHAT'S BAD: When I TILTED up the surface to about 45 degrees, (or #2 of the 3 holes on the bracket) where I will use it the most, the bottom edge (where the pencil ledge is) came down soo low that with 3 1/2 inch of space left I couldn't even fit my legs under when sitting down. ( I'm 5.5 115lb, my chair was on lowest set up 17"H.) The height of the table would need to be adjustable in order to work for me when tilted up."

All the negative and rude comments posted by Songmics in response to my posts (that I referenced in my comment above) have been removed--note the date the comment was posted, and then note that each of them has been revised sometime in July 2015!"
"That's not a big deal for me but others have found it annoying. 3) The vents in the wood for the laptop are a good feature, keeps my laptop from getting too hot. 4) The cup holder is also a great feature, keeps drinks from sliding. 5) The little lip is removable and fits in the drawer on the side."
"I use it to sit on my sofa and work so I can at least be around my wife and kids instead of in my office space in the basement (better than it sounds, but its lonely... hehe). I really like the adjustable legs because I will use this with my under-desk cycle and it gives me the option to raise the desk so I'm not banging my knees constantly."
"It's almost impossible to keep these pivot bolts tight, short of using "loctite"or some similar product. The "stop" for the computer was included, but it just sits in the little drilled holes and should have been glued in place at the factory."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It arrived in a VERY beat up box and some of the boards had cosmetic damage from the shipping (pieces scrubbing against each other and leaving discolored areas, with a few small nicks). It would sure be nice if it arrived in perfect condition, but it is HEAVY, and I'm sure the delivery guys aren't very careful with it. It's 57.5" wide, outside dimensions, so it easily and safely sits on my 60" desk. I did not attach it to the desk (though brackets are included); it sits solidly and I don't think it would fall over short of someone grabbing it and pulling pretty hard."
"Technically you can move the hutch since that is the only place it attaches, but if you move the desk and put the hutch on the other side you will have 4 visible holes on the edge of the desk top."
"I needed something to help clear the clutter off my desk and floor surrounding my desk and this did the trick. I'm waiting for the desk to go on sale again at Office Depot so I can get this same setup to replace my wife's non-computer friendly desk she bought in the mid 80's."
"What impresses me the most with this brand is how everything fits together so well. I didn't have to scrape shavings out of holes before I put the hardware in."

"I've put together quite a few pieces of furniture, so it surprised me that it took so long to assemble. However, it had 35 pieces and 71 pieces of hardware (not including screws and nails)."
"I have some of the other Sauder Palladia collection furniture in my office, and this lateral file is a perfect addition to fill a small empty space."
"Beautiful once put together."
"Bought this because I desperately needed a filing cabinet that didn't look like a traditional file cabinet and it doesn't."
"If you're into 3000 dollar real wood furniture then maybe not for you, but for us regular working people, I'm very impressed by it's looks."
"The unit is nice OK quality, kind of pain in the but to assemble but worth the money and the assembly hassle."
"Our living area is naturally bright, so we had to move the peace out of direct light, as it looked cheap."

"Great filing cabinet!"
"My biggest gripe with the cabinet is the lock is pretty weak, and it seems like the drawers could easily be ripped out if one were ransacking your place."
"This is a fairly light duty filing cabinet but I'm happy with it for my home office."
"It's great to have a file cabinet with wheels, perfect size for my needs too."
"Once loaded with a few files, it's actually more stable but you probably should spend more (a lot more) if you need a cabinet for daily service. For people who just want to organize their household papers and files and who do NOT work in the cabinet regularly, this is a pretty good solution at a very low price."
"My little basket stuffed with envelopes that served as my filing system for many years had become an overflowing, disorganized, headache and eyesore. I decided it was finally time to upgrade to an actual file cabinet and was hoping for something around $50, but was willing to pay a little more for quality. The file cabinet looks very nice, and my paperwork is finally neat, organized, and easily accessible."
"Bottom drawer arrived disconnected; instead of the hassle of shipping it back I'm putting in a few sheet metal screws, but man is this metal flimsy and thin."

"The main advice: separate all the tube supports and side panels by size, assembly goes by much faster if you can pick up tubes by size (length) and side panels. Durability, this is the biggest drawback to these shelves: while the website states they are steel tubes, one not-so-hard whack with a wheelchair crumbled two of the upright supports, rendering the unit unsafe."
"I highly recommend this product for easy and very affordable organizing."
"I also had exactly six 10 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 11" storage cubes that fit into this organizer. Note that one of the photos include the storage cubes that do NOT come with this organizer; I wanted to show how the organizer looks with cubes in them."
"This organizer is a very good purchase, trust me on this, it is fantastic enough to motivate my lazy self to write this review."
"The storage cube closet organizer is perfect for space saving organization with an attractive look."
"I was a bit nervous at first that it wouldn't be able to hold so much weight but the spokes are made of metal and are the reason behind the sturdiness of the framework. I built mine differently because I didn't have space to build it as suggested (please see photo attached), and it worked with a few extra pieces left over."
"You don't need any tools, and aside from needing to pay attention to the long pieces of fabric and short pieces, there really aren't many mistakes you can make."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The keyboard tray was too small for me, as it might be for others, so I decided to use the keyboard tray parts and make it into a monitor stand! You can use the frame of the keyboard tray and simply drill 4 holes into the corners and screw little legs on through those holes."
"I currently have two of these desks (black legs, clear tops) assembled side-by-side, and they look awesome. Good: *Looks modern, sleek, and very professional. *Sturdy design despite streamlined (very thin) limbs and supports. *Plenty of clearance for my legs and shins (I'm 5' 11"). I kick the wall behind the desk before I come near the cross beams. *Supports multiple monitors and desktop computers without concern of collapsing. *Phone number and website are provided on front of assembly instructions in case anything is lost, broken, or flat out missing. It fits a large wired keyboard with number pad and has about an inch of glass to spare. Asinine: *Glass tops are all held in place by suction cups. *Directions don't indicate you can decide which side has the keyboard. I recommend drilling 95% of the way, and manually tightening with included allen wrench the remaining 5%. The corner piece of glass can easily support a 15 lb PC tower. We bought these desks to provide enough space on each for multiple monitors, a desktop PC, and an xbox."
"If you do scratch the underside of the glass, however, then you will see it on the top as well. It currently supports over 100 lbs of monitors and massive vesa monitor stand (since July 2015). It also supported, at a time, a 25 pound UPS and an equally heavy desktop on the left and right glass (in addition to the monitors)."
"I was in a giant rush to build this thing, so I skimmed it and in doing so, I missed some lines noting which way the bars should face, which is crucial! It took me awhile to redo it, but still, only an hour or two and I was done, and building furniture is my absolute nightmare! I hope to buy another and combine them with my current to make an even more awesome battlestation."
"Poor quality tempered glass !!"

"I am 6' 1" and 195 lb and I work at home and spend about 8 to 10 hours daily sitting on this chair."
"It doesn't have all the adjustments that high end ergonomic chairs feature, but it works well enough to get it comfortable to sit in. It's not bad by any means and extended use is really just fine, but I'm not exactly writing letters home about how comfortable the chair is. Sometimes I've noticed clear signs of ergonomic issues in my legs, like them falling asleep, and I know I need to get up and move around. I offer up 4 stars...big value for the price, decent comfort and a good quality product."
"Meaning the nuts are on the back and/or the bottom and the L brackets are on the top or front. Therefore when you sit or lean back all of the weight holding ability is bearing on the NUTS rather than on the brackets. Likewise on the back I put the nuts on the front and the L bracket on the back."
