Solid Basic Desk
I bought this desk because I needed more space to be able to write and work and I also wanted to have my PC tower on the desk where it had better ventilation. When I first got it I assembled it pretty easy and had some of the issues that other reviewers had said, it seemed unsturdy and I was confused as to how some people thought that it was a very stable desk. I read a couple of tips on how to make it more sturdy and none of them really helped. I set the desk up, put my PC and monitors on but was very unhappy with the unstableness of it. When I typed my monitors shook and I was concerned that it might just break down. So I took everything off, flipped it back over and worked on it to make it more stable. As I sat on my bedroom floor, staring at the desk and considering the hassle of sending it back I had an epiphany. This is a fine desk, in fact it is incredibly sturdy the only problem was my mechanical ineptitude. You have to use an Allen wrench to screw the screws in and while I was putting the legs on I realized was holding the wrench by the small side in order to screw the screws in faster. I didn't even realize that if I flipped the wrench around and held the long part in my hand that I would gain more leverage and thus screw the screws in even more. I did this and was shocked by how much more the screws went in. I would have been embarrassed by my idiocy if I was not overcome with joy. Thank goodness I didn't need to send this desk back. I have been using it for a few weeks and it has been awesome. If you have problems with it being wobbly just try flipping your Allen wrench around because it really is that simple of a fix.
