Looked great, but sagging now
We bought two of these for our home office and they looked great with our other CB2 furniture, but after 10 months, they're both sagging in the middle. The sagging isn't terribly noticeable while working at the desk, but the once clean, angular look of our office is now disrupted by the curved surface.
Besides the desks not providing their one fundamental utility (a flat surface), we like them. The dimensions are great (wide and shallow), the surface is durable, and the design is fantastic at this price.

great desk
Have had this for almost 2 years. Easy to assemble, solid and great design.
No sagging issues and have had significant weight on it.
Excellent value for the price - truly a steal.

fold desk
We use these as desks in our office. They are sturdy, provide a decent amount of space and very easy to assemble and use. Also, it's highly recommended as a snack table or a breakfast buffet table.

good value/design but...
it is a very sturdy desk (powdercoated steel legs) and has a nice modern sleekness. only thing is when i opened the box, 2 screws fell out that support the middle of the desk on the underside. tried screwing it back in but the screw doesnt hold.

sturdy and beautiful
the table was very easy to assemble. It is sturdy and beautiful. We use it both as a "dining table" and a space to work on. I have not seen the sagging in the center (I have used the table for several months now).

Great desk
Probably the nicest piece of furniture I've ever owned. Solid construction, clean design, and very easy to assemble. It provides plenty of work space, and combined with the TPS file cabinet I feel a lot more organized.

Perfect desk
I purchased the desk a year ago and so far I have no problems with sagging. I don't see how it could sag either because there is a steel frame underneath it. I wonder if people didn't assemble the desk correctly? (I kneel on top of it to open a window behind it and it still doesn't sag)
I love the wood finish (no scratches or wear yet) and the clean look of the desk. It fits perfectly in a nook in my office right in front of a window. I put a drawer unit under the desk for storage.

Great Desk Overall
Very pleased with the desk overall. For the price I was hoping for a better looking wood finish, but can't complain to much about the design. Simple, but eye-catching.

Very nice desk
We use these desks in our office and they look fabulous. They were very easy to put together and in general have held up well... We have noticed that the edges get scuffed pretty easily from a chair coming in contact with it, but it's not very noticeable unless you're looking for it. Overall a good value for the price!

attractive and functional
Works nicely thus far for two students, one on either side. I love the look of it, and am hoping that we don't experience the same "sag" phenomenon some others reported.

Great Table!
Well made. Lines are sleek and clean. Provides ample workspace surface.

Brains & Beauty
This desk is fabulous. I've had it in my office for about six months and I'm loving the sturdiness and the design - perfect combination of brains and beauty.

slick and practical
I love the size of this desk. It fits my 24" iMac, plus wacom tablet with plenty of room to spare. I also love that it's so bare bones underneath, which maximizes the work area and where you can sit. Only negative is that the top surfaces scratches/scuffs fairly easy.

sags in the middle
Love the look and was excited about the purchase... for about 2 months.. now it has a noticeable sag in the middle.. about 1/2 inch. All I have on the desk is a flat panel monitor and keyboard.. and I don't lean on it.

The Final Piece of the Puzzle
The desk completed my apartment. The main room which doubles as my office, living room and dining room needed the right piece to fit and be funcional while fitting in stylistically with the rest of the room. Fold was the perfect match. Love the way the surface feels, and how sturdy the desk is.

Great look, but lacking on quality
I think this desk look great, but I have already noticed a 1/2" swag in the middle of the desk. Considering it is only a few months old, and I use only laptops.
Looks great, but I do not see it lasting very long.

Solid, clean looking desk
I like having a work desk without a lot of frills, more of a table. If you ever put a door on two sawhorses for a desk, that is ideal but sort of a pain when the sawhorses are needed in the garage. This is a neater and cleaner version, and scaled down a bit.
The desk is heavier than I expected. The top is smooth and made of a very dense material, like a chunk of Corian kitchen counter in the color of "pencil shavings." So the assembled desk is about 90 pounds according to the boxes. (This came in two boxes--top and legs.) The CB2 delivery guys cheerfully sprinted upstairs with it but I was worried about moving it around after assembly. Well, with the plastic-footed levelers it's been easy to rearrange without scratching the wood floor.
Legs are thicker metal than I expected, to hold up the heavy top. I like that the legs are vertical rather than splayed out, so I can put it in a corner without wasting a lot of space. Yeah, I am going to get a lot of work done on this desk as soon as I quit running my hands over the smooth, smooth, graham-cracker colored surface.

Sleek Desk = More Room
I love my new desk! It works well with my modern bohemian look and certainly is much better than the cramped secretary I was using. Now I have plenty of desk space and plenty of room for my legs! Thank you CB2!

great purchase
This desk is exactly what I was looking for. Great, simple design with lots of work space. Sturdy and easy to assemble. So far, so good!

Perfect for my office
I bought this for my office/workout room in my house. I have a wall with cube bookshelves from floor to ceiling. I wanted a desk that would not compete with the wall but would also give me enough workspace. It's perfect. Other desks this width would be much to deep for the space I have. This desk effortlessly accommodates my mac and printer/scanner with room for the TPS file cabinet underneath. If you're considering it, JUST GET IT ALREADY!!!
