Mainstay Desk w/bookcase, 02/18/2009
By Valynni, Los Angeles
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I purchased the desk combo and thought that it was a good deal. I also purchased 2 bookcases that didn't come with the desk but matched in color. The desk was very easy to assemble and so were the bookcases. The desk was larger than I expected which was an added bonus. The only negative comment for me and my needs were that the desk did not have any private storage which prompted me to purchase bins to accomodate. This was a great buy and a very good looking desk!!!

LOVED IT!, 02/11/2009
By brsmom513
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I personally LOVED this set! I bought it because I was really low on space and funds at the time. I grew to really like the set up, other than the bookshelf being a little odd and didn't hold books weel. I have used it as a fish tank stand with photos and nicknacks though and have been happy. I gave the desk to a friend when my desk need increased and she uses it and loves it too! VERY good price, extremely easy to put together and suprisingly sturdy!!!

A good value, 12/28/2008

This was easy to assemble and looks great. Very stylish. My only complaint is I wish the top shelf over the desk area was a bit higher. You can't fit much under it. Great for a student or someone with limited space.

Great Value, 12/06/2008

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I just bought this product in the store last night. I got the desk put together but didn't get to the bookshelf because it was pretty late. The desk was fairly easy to put together. My boyfriend and I got it done in no time. The instructions were extremely easy to understand, and the parts and screws were clearly labeled and separated. The desk seems pretty sturdy, but I'll guess I'll found that out after I've had it awhile. I'm extremely satisfied so far.

Had it for 2 years and still doin good, 11/28/2008
By Lemme, Fort Payne, AL
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I bought this two years ago. I like it. The sliding keyboard thing messed up within the first 6 months but I believe I was mostly to blame on that (the bottom part of the track bent downwards) The top has wore greatly due to activity at the desk (water damage from drinks shows very easily). Since I've upgraded my computer and gotten a lighter monitor the left side has lost some of its stability, kinda wobbly now otherwise I'm happy with it. Nothing at all to complain about the bookcase tho!

I would say good. My disappoint is in the H (height) listed on line is 22" but it is actually closer to 31 or 32 inches. this makes it a bit uncomfortable to sit at. don't know if i can return when it is all put together.

Nice Desk for Student, 09/12/2008
By Buckeye3110, Columbus, OH
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

This desk was complicated to put together. There are a lot of pieces and it took a long time. It comes in a flat box, so it can fit in your car. It's obviously not as stable as a solid wooden desk, but it does hold up. Although it's not apparent in the photo, the black panels are wooden, not metal. This is a popular desk for students and I am enjoying it so far.

A little disappointed, 08/31/2008
By Carly83, Madison, WI
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

This is a great desk and bookshelf for the money. My problem with it though is that a few of the boards were peeling at the corners or dented. I didn't want to return it for a new one as the defects were toward the back and I taped them with electrical tape.

I paid $60 for this desk, basically the cheapest I could find that looked decent. The desk looks really nice in my study room and is a perfect size (not too big not too small). I love it.

Great desk and bookshelf for money, 08/24/2008
By caspergirl35, Texas
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I purchased this when on sale for $59.99 and it looks great and makes a perfect workstation. It was easy to assemble although I used some of my own tools as some parts are hard to manuever with the little tool they send with it.
Overall it looks really nice and with the matching bookshelf it has a perfect fit almost anywhere.
If you are looking for a good sturdy, yet inexpensive desk this is it.

Hard to put together, 08/23/2008
By mm8903
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

This product came in one box - many pieces. Already drilled holes were not always in the correct places. Installation required two people: one to hold pieces together and one person to install fasteners. I am still trying to get these two items built so, at this time, I cannot comment on usage. I will not purchase another product that has to be built unless it is advertised as easy to construct.

for 60 dollars, this is a great product! its clutter free and it comes with a book case, which i use as a dvd/videogame case, as well as my videogame consoles. i like the fact that i can see throughout my desk. there isnt any solid "walls" on there. its black and grey, it looks sleek. unfortunately, i dont think walmart has this in stock anymore. this is the best desk ive ever owned.

Great desk for home, 08/20/2008
By LilLadybug, California
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Mainstays had easy to follow instructions for the assembly process & the wood products are pre-
drilled with pilot-holes that made it easy to put to-
gether. The different sizes of screws are clearly
seperated & marked which sure helped.
It looks great & is comfortable to use. The full-sized office chair that I have, fits easily under the keyboard shelf. The matching book-case is nice also especially when you use book-ends

Certainly exceeded expectations. Strong, durable, and easy to assemble. Great fit in a small bedroom. I am thinking about putting another one in my other childs bedroom when they are available. Right now, they are not in stock online or in the stores.
