These tables make great computer desks! (55" Espresso)
All negative reviews are people who went way over the100lb weight limit estimate or people who's came with shipping damage. These tables are amazing as computer desks. My PC weighs just shy of 45lbs, my monitor weighs 30lbs, and the rest weighs about 10lbs. This table can hold that plus me (140lbs) no problem. Of course, after weeks of that it would start to bow in the middle, but not break. They can probably hold an evenly distributed 150lbs safely (just an estimate). The table feels very sturdy and solid and is easy to put together (though you might need 2 people for the larger version). The tables are also quite heavy, but not so heavy that it makes them impossible to move alone. I got two of the Espresso black ones and one of the shorter Espresso ones. They look so professional as office desks. The best part about them is that the color is a near-true Espresso that retains the wood grain appearance. That means that predominantly black computer equipment will not blend in, causing an "all-blackout" look that seems a bit dated. These are perfect for black-colored computer equipment. Grab the color that matches your equipment best. Since these tables are wood, you can drill accessories from IKEA into them if you want. They will hold it. They are also just tall enough for coffee tables and small drawers to fit under. I used to have two tables in my 12'x12' office. After removing some unwanted furniture, I have more space in the room and more desk space as opposed to my older tables. - The tables will NOT ship in 2 days, even on Prime (at least for the central CA valley). Mine shipped in 5, which was fine. - My table came with small amounts of shipping damage (in pics). It was so insignificant I didn't bother returning. Yours may vary. - I am 5' 3" and if I had a better chair, these tables would be amazing for my height. - These tables are heavy enough to not wobble on thicc carpet like some cheaper, lighter ones. - The surface of the table is not perfectly flat. Doesn't matter for writing & drawing. Not so good as drafting tables. Overall I will probably buy another one for my room, or put it in the garage. I wasn't even supposed to keep the third short one I got but I liked the build quality so much I found space for it!
