I’m happy with this SAMTRA 47 inch Writing Computer Desk. It is simple, sturdy, and easy to assemble. The frame is black metal with what appears to be a type of laminate-particle board top. It seems well-made overall. I do think it would be nice if there was at least a drawer or two incorporated, but it looks as advertised. It is fairly lightweight as well and easy for me to move around if needed. It is a nice-sized desk (not too large or tiny) and suits my needs well.
Is it a premium, high-end desk? No, but it is still nice. The top is fine and acceptable, but could have looked even nicer with a different material, in my opinion-perhaps a real dark stained wood. I will say that I like the sandalwood color a lot. I have another nearly identical desk that has been holding up well, so I imagine this will too. The current price of $89.99 on sale from $99.99 seems pretty good to me.
Anyway, if you are looking for something simple and sturdy that works and you like the color and design of this, then you might like this a lot. Just remember that the top is just some type of laminated particle board, so that surface is more easily damaged if you aren’t careful.
I’ll be sure to update my review if any issues arise with regular use. I hope my review was helpful in some way, and if so, I would love to know- thanks!
