Review on SHW Vista L Shape Monitor Stand by Dawn Robinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There were issues and design flaws, disappointed

It gets the job done, mostly solid (a little wobble) and holds all my stuff, but here's my analysis of what happened to this model: 1 ) I love this one table layout. I work with two large monitors and a yoga laptop so I have three screens to put on this desk and it fits (see picture). 2) It's smaller than I expected (even considering the size) but it fits perfectly in the corner of my office 3) I don't like the curved back like I thought. I thought I had enough space to fold all the cords, but in fact it's really huge (see picture). 4) The laptop takes up most of the space, so I thought about putting it in the middle instead of on the side. /box but now I'm afraid my laptop will fall off because the box it's standing on goes in the back hole! Maybe I need to buy a proper laptop stand. 5) Great instructions when assembling! Unfortunately the parts of the table didn't fit and it "wobbled" only 1/4 or 1/8 inch. You can't see the center offset because I have so many items including the keyboard (see picture). 6) Also during assembly it turned out that the screws were too long. When I was done I went over to tighten the screws and heard a crack. Yes, 2 screws broke the wood on the table top. I didn't even finish putting it on. Looks disastrous (I know I'm exaggerating but this is a brand new table with two huge cracks see picture). I ended up covering one with velcro to keep the power cord in place. 7) Legroom is also not enough. I can't crawl to the desk because the center legs (see picture) are in the way, I've banged my knees a few times so I'm trying to pull the keyboard all the way forward to avoid coming and mine to beat legs. I'm only 5'4! Although typing this way is inconvenient. Overall I'm disappointed but I needed a table and I don't have the strength to look for another until this one breaks. I suspect it will happen soon, but I'm trying to hope it lasts.
