L Shaped Gaming Desk (60"x24")

I've been absolutely psyched to create my own home office over the past few months. Back in September of 2022 I came down with COVID, and was unable to go into work. Up until then I had never REALLY worked from home, aside from taking a phone call or two. After the first few days, I began to feel better, but my boss was adamant that if I was still testing positive, I should remain home. Well after the first week, I was still testing positive. I began taking phone calls in between playing Uncharted with my laptop on a coffee table. That arrangement quickly became a major pain, as I was doing all sorts of unintentional yoga to properly type on my laptop. I began to transform my dining room into an office. I started with my laptop on a cheap riser/cooling pad, and an old hand-me-down monitor propped up on a bucket. Over the next few months, I started to really transform my space into a true office. Now, after months of collecting and buying, I'm finally satisfied with the outcome, and it's this desk that really ties everything together.

PROS
My old desk was significantly smaller. It served well as a great proof-of-concept, but after a month or so, I knew I needed something a bit larger (see the picture included of my old desk for reference). The size of this desk couldn't be more perfect. It's not enormous by any means, but it's the absolute perfect size for me. This fits my mounted two 27" monitors, my laptop on a riser/cooling pad, an XL mouse pad, a couple of USB hubs, a fancy lamp, and all with enough room to spare on the side part for a textbook.

Assembly took roughly an hour or so, and wasn't very difficult. My advice to anyone building this is to not tighten anything all the way until every piece of the underside (aside from the legs) is in place, and both pieces are lined up perfectly. Keep in mind, this desk is deceitfully heavy, so you will definitely want an extra person to help you flip this over.

The overall build quality feels excellent, and definitely miles better than my old desk. The metal frame has a definite rigidity to it that you expect to feel from desks purchased at higher end furniture stores. My biggest issue with desks is when you tighten bolts and screws, and you hear the creaking of the desk/frame. I have a habit of really wrenching down on screws and bolts, and this desk really help up well to my abuse.

This desk has excellent built-in cable management. I'm a stickler for that sort of thing, and this desk makes me very happy in that regard. The corner pieces aren't just for looks, they're actually useful cable troughs. There's also a tray for a surge protector/power strip, but I don't use it for that, I just utilize it as another cable trough. I actually mounted a larger surge protector to the underside of the desk, and it works beautifully.

CONS
Because this is only supported by two legs, it can wobble a bit if you're putting too much weight on the back end, especially the side part. This isn't detrimental, unless you have a desktop that weighs a considerable amount, but it is a bit annoying to feel the bounce as I'm trying to take notes during class. I plan on possibly trying to fabricate and attach another leg to the side piece just to help stabilize it and keep it from bouncing.

As I mentioned before, this is a deceitfully heavy desk, and it's really easy to forget that when assembling it. It's not really a con per-se, but PLEASE remember to have someone assist you with flipping it over once you're done with assembly.

Overall, I don't believe I could be happier with a desk. I truly believe this is the perfect desk for me, and for my space. It looks great, it's the perfect size, it was easy to build, and it scratches my itch for cable management. I've gamed on it, done homework on it, even fallen asleep at it while doing said homework. This was a great purchase on my part, and I would happily buy another one. I'm incredibly pleased with my new desk.

PLEASE NOTE: I've included a picture of my old desk for size comparison.

It’s a very nice desk don’t get me wrong, but the wobble drives me insane. They need to add one more leg on the back side and it would be perfect but for me it was just too annoying. If you think it would bother you as well I’d suggest looking elsewhere or buying teo of the normal deals and putting them side by side in and Lshape

Solid, sturdy and just downright awesome. Bought a keyboard tray and a triple monitor arm and this desk rivals anything I have ever used or seen. Got the pink L shaped, painted the foot/legs solstice blue and now it's just striking. Love it! Thank you, Eureka!

Spacious, stylish, lots of room if you mount your monitors, love the huge mouse pad

I really like the shape of this desk and the finish is really nice. The L is exactly what I wanted. The T shaped legs to let the desk wobble a fair amount, however it isn't enough to make me like it less. The one problem was any weight like a PC or monitors on the back side create a substantial slate to the desktop. I had add an additional leg to the back of the desk to level it. Although you can adjust the desk feet, it didn't help without an additional leg to support the desk.
