So this would be a very practical desk however I am using it as a console table. I liked the large area on the table top and I use it to display photos and I have some other odds and ends displayed as well.
Assembly is required but is fairly simple given the basic design of the desk. I was able to complete on my own with no problem.
I would have to say my favorite feature are the strong looking legs of the table. I like that they are durable. I don’t have to worry about them getting scratched or even showing dirt for that matter. Even when I bump into them while running the vacuum, I know they will be fine. It’s the little things but it makes a difference. My last table was white and wood. By the time it was ready to be retired the legs had most definitely seen better days.
Overall this table/desk can be used in a variety of settings or applications. It offers a large top space which would give one plenty of room to set up a computer and still have room. It brings the more industrial look with the wood and steel combination. It’s sturdy and mine appears to be very durable thus far.
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!
This Samtra simple computer desk is just that. Very simple. The directions were easy and after attaching the legs with included screws, which took me about 10 minutes, your all set. Obviously keeping in mind the extremely affordable price point on this, it’s well worth the money. If your in a limited budget but need a desk, then this is definitely a viable option.
The desk is decently sturdy, not anything to write home about, but will get most jobs done. It’s a tad wobbly, but nothing unmanageable, and honestly better than could be expected at this price point. Is this an amazing quality desk? No, but at the current price point of under $50 this is the best you will get for the cost!
At the time of writing this review this desk is on sale for $60 bucks. I would definitely pay that for this desk! But the original $150 is in my opinion to high of a price tag for the quality of this. Assembly was fairly simple and only took me about 15 minutes. The directions were a bit vague but I was still able to get it done without any issues.
Once it’s built it’s a decent desk. It’s not high quality, more like just under mid quality in my opinion. It’s decently stable and the table top has a decent finish to it. It this going to last you years and years? Probably not. But I would be happy if I got about 5 years out of this, though I suspect it won’t last that long. But again for the current selling price I think it’s a good value.
Nice sturdy desk. Easy to assemble, I did it myself in a couple hours. I was very surprised at the quality and the easiness of construction. This came in large pieces that were so easy to put together. The look of the wood was rustic and felt expensive. Love the desk fits in the corner just perfect.
The table is a good size and I love how long it is. The table measures about 29.5 inch high, 55 inch long and 24 inch wide. The assembly process is a breeze and took less than 20 minutes. The table is spacious enough to fit two monitors, keyboard, computer speakers, mouse and would still have ample space for other smaller items. Sadly, the table arrived with several damages and chips on one side. I also have another table from this company which seems to be well made and I am very happy with the other product. This table has metal legs and the metal combo with wood looks good. Luckily the damages are on the same side of the table and I have the damaged side against the wall so the damages aren’t visible.
I wanted to love this simple yet modern desk by SAMTRA, but that is partly my own fault. I was trying to match it with existing furniture and the desktop is a little lighter than I had expected. Please note, you cannot compare apples to oranges. Yes, this is a perfect value desk for your home. You can not compare it to higher end furniture, but it does do the job. For us, assembly was easy with the two of us. It was too heavy for me to do by myself. It’s pretty straight forward and there were no surprises. I have had it for over a week now and it is in use daily.
The furniture is styled after one a high end furniture carries. In that sense, it’s kind of cool to get that metal and wood desk. Simple. Looks great with a basket for either your mail or the kids crayons!
This desk was a breeze to assemble. Between 2 people, it took us no more than 10 minutes from start to finish. All you have to do pretty much is screw on the legs and that’s it. The desk top is one solid piece. This desk came out sturdy with a beautiful neutral finish. Unfortunately the desk was chipped so some of the laminate looked like it was peeling off. It’s a nice, strong desk, and although it had a bit of damage, I still like it.
I bought this desk for around $130, and I was a bit skeptical about his good of quality it would be for such a cheap price. But it came in and it truly is a good desk! It is a bit tiny width wise, but my chair can fit under it with ease as can my legs. It’s very sturdy too. My only complaint is that it was a bit difficult to assemble by myself, and the screws didn’t fit in the holes it were meant to be in so I had to throw them out.

Easy assembling! And it looks so nice and sleek.
