"This desk ooooooooooh"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I am so happy with this desk, long gone are the days of losing all my stuff on my desk or running out of space to move my mouse and then getting killed in a game. I have never been so happy with a desk before, and the carbon fibre finish mwah is just perfect. It literally makes me feel like I'm standing on top of a mountain feeding a baby goat while listening to Mozart. I could not recommend this desk enough, if you want to change your life around; buy this desk, it may not save your marriage but it will save your life, say no to drugs and yes to desk. You wont find a better desk around! draws? who needs draws, what are you a pleb!? buy this desk now and don't be a pleb! You know you want to.

"Perfect"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's perfect for what it is. Looks better in real life, have had many compliments on it. Not difficult to assemble. Easy to stain though leaves finger prints for a bit but they are easily removed.

"Best desk I've ever had."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Space for your PC, 2 Monitors, speakers, all your peripherals, and room to spare. The L shape means eating at your desk is so much nicer, you can keep your food to the side while you game, completely out of the way.

Headset and drink holders are fantastic, drink holder can hold relatively large bottles in it. Cable management part at the back is really neat.

The only thing is that the surface shows fingerprints and similar quite easily. But I am more than happy to have that trade-off for all of the other features. Assembly was very straightforward (I usually despise putting together furniture but this was fine). Is delivered in a pretty compact box, since the desk's top is two parts joined together. No annoying support beams under the desk so my feet can go up on an ottoman with no obstacles.

I cannot recommend this desk enough, especially at this price.

"Perfect for gaming!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This desk is perfect for gaming, the surface of the desk makes sure nothing slips, the headphone holder is very handy, I also love the cup holder which I use to store my wallet keys and mask, and my favorite part is the cable organizer under the desk.

This desk is awesome. Plenty of space for multiple monitors. Very sturdy design. Tray under the desk is an amazing feature and the cup holder and headphone hook make it all the better. Perfect.

"That Carbon look that looks and feels right!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

When I checked out the photos of this, I thought, yeh prolly just some cheap carbon vinyl covering, but it looks cool and it was the right size for the space, nice and big with the corner to keep laptops and other things away. So me being an impulsive buyer, clicks go!

It arrived so fast!! I even tried to tell the courier to slow down as I wasn't home, but care was taken even though it was raining and he left it nicely under cover. Putting this together was so easy, only had to glance at the instructions a few times. But then i've put alot of things together, so I probably did it a bit different. The quality is solid! The carbon desktop is top notch, and i'm yet to put any dents or scratch it, and I'm pretty ruff!

The only things I could complain about, the accessory parts are cheap plastic, drink and headphone holder, multi plug holder.. I did not bother attaching these. And when I went to pick them up after finishing, I found the drink holder smashed already, must have kicked it! haha The edges of the table top can be quite sharp too, so don't bang ya albow on em! like I have a few times.

Otherwise, excellent stylish sturdy gaming setup!

"Very Nice Desk"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Perfect size for the space I had available. Nice and solid. Only downside was the length of time it took to get from Auckland to my home in Christchurch

"This is worth every cent!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I needed more space for my gaming set up and opted for this, the makers behind the Gorilla Gaming Desk Defender really did their homework and understood what we gamers need. Very affordable and I'm really impressed 👍👍 10/10 highly recommended! So easy to assemble as well and the mouse pad is AWESOME 👍👍😎.

"2 monitor heaven"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I have my mid stack pc, 1 34" monitor, 1 32" monitor, a switch OLED and a camera with a tripod on this table and it does a great job with still a lot of space for my headphones, keyboard and mouse. The cable tree also makes for a tidy place to put a multi plug or some wires. I would recommend getting stuff to hide wires in from PB as not a lot of wires can be stored in the basket without looking bad.

"Good sturdy desk"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Desk is quite sturdy for what it looks, pretty easy to make and plenty of space!

"Solid desk"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A descent desk, easy to clean, lots of space for a tower and two monitors. Its a bit tricky to put together as the screws don't align 100% (might've just been an issue with mine) and heaven help you if you need to move the thing between rooms and don't want to take it apart (the L shape makes it a menace to navigate through doorframes and the legs are welded to the desk's supports so you gotta pray it fits when flipped on its side).

Other than that I'd say this is a pretty solid desk, I sometimes get a bit nervous because the top part feels a bit flimsy (I'm used to very solid desks) mostly in the end of the L but it hasn't fallen apart in the slightest. The basket under the desk for putting your powerboard is very handy and various plastic hooks and cable holes make cable management a breeze.
