Foldable Home Office Desk with Pull-Out Keyboard Tray & USB Charging Ports - Perfect for Small Spaces, Remote Work & Study

I needed to update the furniture in my home office and this desk fit what I wanted perfectly. I've been living with it every day for both work and personal use for over a year now and have been very pleased with it. Portability was not a great concern (I actually selected it before I realized it folded) but it's a great bonus. What I wanted was a workstation that provided adequate space up top for a couple of monitors and a large enough keyboard tray to comfortably fit a full size keyboard and mouse pad (see Side Notes below**), as well as significant space below for a desktop tower computer.UTILITY - This portable desk offers all of the above in a minimal footprint and is easily collapsed to free up space for other uses or to be relocated. Despite being foldable, it's quite sturdy, holding my two full-size monitors and a large laptop*** with less wobbling than many small-footprint desks and tables I inspected in office furniture stores. I think it would also be usable as a student desk with a laptop or single monitor, which should leave enough desktop available for a writing surface as needed; with a couple of monitors, a small writing desk or side table might be needed if a writing surface is required.APPEARANCE - This is an all-wood desk (though in some places glued together from smaller pieces), and as such is an attractive piece of casual furniture. Perhaps not a good fit in a formal living room, but anywhere else this will fit in better than a lot of the metal frame and particle board alternatives I've seen at this price level. It looks great sitting in my office/den.DESKTOP - While the desk is wide enough, be aware that it's less than 16.5" deep, so not a lot of real estate behind or in front of the monitors; do some measuring and make sure this will work for your use case. The keyboard tray extends beyond this in front when pulled out, but fits completely under the desk when pushed in.KEYBOARD TRAY - Regarding the keyboard tray, as you can see in the pics this one is extra-wide, running the full width of the desk. There's plenty of room for a large keyboard and large mousepad, with space left over to set a smartphone or even a small tablet. It shouldn't be an issue for most, but I would note that like the desktop, the tray's not especially deep and to stay secure quite a bit of it stays under the desk even when fully extended, so there's about 6" from the front edge of the desk to the inside of the 1/2"-deep "lip" at the front of the tray. I have plenty of room to move my mouse forward and back, but if you like a hefty wrist rest in front of the keyboard (or have one integrated), this might not be a good fit for you.PORTABILITY - Collapsing the desk when not in use is a snap. Remove the giant keyboard tray, lift the front edge of the hinged desktop off of the side legs (more on that in a bit), fold the legs in, drop the desktop, and you're done. The keyboard tray is heftier than most, so I'd recommend moving it to the new location in a separate trip after getting the desk set up.USB POWER - The USB-A power sockets in back might be useful for some applications, but I generally top up my rechargeables elsewhere. Especially because of this, I appreciate the attached snap-on dust cover and power switch - nice touches. Two of the sockets are higher-powered, so perhaps pay attention to the manual on that since they're not well labeled. A short octopus adapter/converter cable is included so that you can charge USB-C, USB micro, or Lightning from a USB-A slot - another nice touch.STURDINESS - I've mentioned that the desk handles what I've loaded on it quite well, but I note that the smattering of negative reviews here sometimes complain that the keyboard tray would fall or even the entire desk collapse unexpectedly. That's just not possible if it's properly deployed. The hinged desktop has a couple of hefty pegs to fit into corresponding holes atop the folding side legs. If those are seated properly, the whole structure is quite robust. The two points I'd make about all this are:1) If pegs and holes are not aligned properly (it's not hard, but it could be missed if you're not paying attention), the desktop will not be secured and the legs possibly knocked out from under it on one side or the other, which would also drop the keyboard tray in a clattering mini-catastrophe.2) YOU CAN ONLY MOVE THE DESK WHEN IT IS UNLOADED AND FOLDED. I can't emphasize this point enough - it is NOT SAFE to try and move/shift this desk "just an inch or two" with equipment on top of it. Anyone trying this is risking the kind of "failure" we see reported in some of the negative comments.SHIPPING/UNPACKING - The one true caveat here (and the only reason this is 4 of 5 stars) is that while it does arrive fully assembled, the desk is oddly packaged in a way that doesn't appear to protect it well from mishandling. My first desk arrived with a crack running the length of the narrow panel at the back of the desktop and had to be returned. That was an adventure in itself, since the packaging is very complicated and proved challenging to rebuild for return shipping. I think the desk is so desirable when delivered in good condition that it was worth the hassle, but my advice would be to take your time and record with stills and or video the unpacking process, perhaps marking some of the key foam blocks as you go, so that (if necessary) you can repackage it without a lot of heartburn.Side notes:**Keyboard trays are a real sticking point for me - for some reason, the dimwits designing most office desks and even "computer workstations" either fail to include keyboard trays (pretty lousy for ergonomics) or provide keyboard trays just large enough for a full size keyboard as if mice didn't exist (hello 1984). This forces users either to put the mouse on the desktop (again, not great ergonomics) or get a reduced footprint keyboard (i.e., lose the numeric keypad) to leave some space for a small mouse area (this is barely tolerable for me, but for most heavy spreadsheet users would be a non-starter).***This sounds impossible given the limited real estate, but I don't use all 3 screens at at once. The laptop is for work and drives its internal screen and one external monitor, while I use that external monitor plus the second monitor for my personal desktop system. So in "work mode" the laptop is open and blocking the 2nd (inactive) monitor, while in "personal mode" the laptop is closed and the 2nd monitor is on.
