I use L-desk like this, black metal with glass top, but the supports are shaped like Z's. Mine was a bit higher quality though, i payed around $350 when i first bought it.

My wife bought this desk for her office, so here is my review of it.

It may look OK, but it is not very functional. There are no drawers, file storage, or just no storage for all the stuff you need for a desk/computer stand. If you need a place to put paper, pens, disks, CD's, cables, and other stuff you are out of luck.

The glass top is easy to clean, but that is the only thing good about it. The way this thing is constructed prevents most items such as a printer stand, rolling file cabinet, ect. from being placed under the table top due to a stabilizer bar running underneath.

The keyboard drawer is extremely flimsy. It does not lock and constantly moves around when typing or using the mouse. It is not wide enough for a full sized keyboard and mouse pad.

If you are the type of person that likes a perfectly clean table with nothing on it, and no need for any storage for stuff, then this may be OK.

I would rather have a cheap particle board desk and have a piece of glass cut for the top. It would be cheaper and a lot more functional.

I have the desk as well. The storage components are sold separately. They have a file cabinent that goes with it and it fits underneath the desk.

I did not have the problem with the keyboard tray you described. Mine is very solid. Try tightening the tension bars or bending the keyboard arms inward a bit.

Anyone else have a hard time getting the left and right desk parts square with the glass tops?
