my last update...i finaaly got the insturctions and yes they are suck...missing some steps, skips around a lot...also if you want to put a heavy monitor i definately suggest some type of bracing between the desk and the cabinet part...otherwise all the weight will be on just 2 measly screws...also not the best parts some af the screw holes didnt line up but its nothing a drill can't fix and nothing will show and mess it up...also i seemed to comne up short on quite a few parts, had to raid my garage to find similar screws...but overall for 65 bucks you cant beat it, it works great and doesn't look bad at all...

about that 75 desk someone mentioned...it looks nice but be warned it doesn't come with the tall hutch on the left in the picture...that hutch it another 65 bucks...which is what my whole desk cost... ;) hehe, just letting you guys know so you wouldn't be caught off guard...

i bid you farewell as i go off to play with my new dually server...bwahahahaha!

How come two screws? I put in four I can add one or two more.

Anyhow. If anyone is looking for this guy the La Verne location in SoCal has eight of them, the last I looked (about 30 mins ago, went to get a pricematch on the desk and got $15.15 back, I orignally paid 79.88)

Can someone please tell me the dimensions(measurements) of the desk and what office depot store I can order it from or where they ordered it from. I really need a new desk badly and this deal sounds great. Thanks in advance.

I just put mine together, and I have to say it is better than a great deal!

The instructions are not really hard at all, and it is so simple, you dont really need instructions if you look at the picture on the box. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to assemble, with help from my 2 year old!

I just put mine togeather also.....I didn't have any probs with the instructions.....

I moved the legs 2&quot; to the right and turned the PC holder around so I could mount the PC and still easily get the right side of the case off...

I'm going to get some L braces to put under the desk, where the desk conects to the side cabinet...

I'm very happy with it....I'm glad you guys are too..... :)

NICKel, I think you were looking at my desk. Yes that was my sharp Minidisc player (deal from mobshop). Those ports (on the computer?) is my Live! Drive II, it really scary or impressive looking depending on who's looking. Anyhow I don't use anything on there except for the optical out (only reason I went from platinum to platinum 5.1) for my minidisc and the remote.

Askani, this is the telphone number to the La Verne location, which may still have the desk. 909/392-8628.
