sturdy, modern, attractive
The only problem I have with the console table is that it doesn't come in the same colors as the desks – I wanted something longer and narrower for our small office and this fit the bill. I'll be ordering the matching 3 shelf table (again, only in charcoal :( ).

OK for the price
Nice design, wheels are great, not very sturdy side to side. Tends to lean one way or the other.

Best Console/desk/table
This exceeded my expectations of a console/desk thing I was looking for. It's lightweight, clean and simple looking with just an edge to make it modern and fun. The wheelies make it so easy to transform it from a desk to an emergency extra surface for the kitchen and dining room (who knew?).

Great Added Work Space
I bought the carbon console table to compliment the chartreuse go-cart desk, and they work very well as an "L" shaped work area. I had minimal problems with assembly, which took about a half an hour total (no need to drill holes, etc., just had to make sure I was lining things up properly). Overall, very happy with the purchase.

nice, inexpensive console/desk option
sturdy metal, good sized and spacious underneath for file cabinets. wish it had a drawer and since there is no lower shelf, the metal connections will have some 'give' above the wheels. I liked that since it won't be too rigid to fit into tight places, but my fiancee wasn't as impressed with that. Even still, we recommend it highly, certainly over any pressed wood lightweight options you may get at any other furniture supertailers.

Just perfect
Moved to NYC 3 months ago, visited CB2 and loved this desk, decided to check elsewwhere what else was available just to be sure, ended placing my order online last weekend and received it yesterday. Was a breeze to set it up and it's perfect for my studio, at 21" depth it was the perfect size...

good looking piece
Unlike some of the other reviews here, I experienced no problems with lining up the holes to screw the parts together. If you have professional tools, it will make the assembly go faster. Be aware that this is a heavy piece. I am a 110 lb female, and had to both drag and lift the package up 2 flights of stairs, I did remove some parts before doing that and it was still a struggle. Thank God for carpeted stairs. I found it easier to assemble with the top laid on the floor, and to have the table laid sideways to put the casters on. No regrets, great purchase.

Screw holes off
I really like this table, I'll start by saying that. The assembly would have been much easier if the screw holes would not have been an entire 1/8th of an inch off. I had to get a drill to file the metal down and make the screw holes line up properly before I could finish assembling this table. That was very frustrating. At any rate, it's a nice table for a nice price and I'm getting a lot of use out of it.

better than expected
never realized a desk on wheels allows for so much flexibility- especially when you need to get behind the desktop and deal with those pesky cables. The color is a great yellow/green and you cant beat the price. Bought four for the new office- keep one along the wall and then wheel it in to the middle for group meetings.

Great scale and function
I am using this as a desk in a bedroom. It is so easy to lock into place or move out of the way if I need to. When I move it will function great in a new space as a desk or a console. The finish is great and it looks and feels more expensive than the price tag.

Solid desk, easy assembly
I've actually used this desk on two occasions. This was my desk at my old job and I loved it so much that I bought it for my room when I moved apartments. I have it in the slate grey color and it's holding up really well, considering the way I tend to abuse my desks. The assembly is the easiest thing in the world (they even include the tools you need) and the casters are great as it allows you to move easily.
I would highly recommend this desk if you're looking for a decent amount of work space and storage isn't a big concern. I got a mobile pedestal to fit under mine and I love the set up.

Love Go-Cart!
This is a great value! Easy to put together, great looks. The finish does show fingerprints, but it's not an issue for me. I work at home, so I need hard duty office furniture -- bought the whole Go-Cart suite -- desk, console, large and small shelf units, and file cart. Can't beat the style, functionality, and great value!

icky screws & bolts
My daughter & I put this together for her apartment.
The table itself has a great industrial feeling and look when assembled. But the big problem is putting it together. BIG PROBLEM.
The screws and bolts were a bad fit and the tools given were awful. It took forever to get the legs on and then we realized that they have to be put together in a specific way for the supporting braces to work. By that point our hands were aching from trying to use the little bolt holders and we threw in the towel, just attaching the lower rear brace. We tried to use a socket wrench, but the Taiwanese made screws and bolts wouldn't work with standard American tools.
So beware-this will take a lot of time, you'll need 2 people because of the weight and your hands will be very sore afterward.

Worth it
This desk fit all my requirements: reasonable size for an apartment (not huge but still functional), reasonable price, easy assembly. It looks good - just as it does in the product images - and can be moved easily.
If you need it, know that delivery works really well (fast, professional).

Go Cart, Go!
This is a great item. I do wish that the surface was matte, as it does show finger and hand prints pretty easy. Nothing a little windex and a paper towel won't fix. While it does come with little "tools" to assemble it with, I would HIGHLY recommend getting (borrowing) a cheap Ratchet Screwdriver/Nut Driver set for five to ten bucks. Otherwise, a relatively simple piece will take FOREVER to assemble. Other than that, great piece!

Great for Students!
I bought this for my son's room which is pretty cramped. It is working well and easily moves when we need to clean. The surface does scratch pretty easily, but since he's a boy, I'm not too worried about it. If this was a huge concern, I'd consider getting a piece of glass cut to size for the top. Legs seemed to need tightened after a recent move when we re-arranged his room, but no biggie and overall very sturdy.

Excellent Office Furniture!
We purchased two go-cart console tables and two filing cabinets from CB2. They were fairly simple to put together. They look fantastic and are perfectly functional! We were looking for more "counter space" in our home office and these do just the trick! They are very sturdy and look very clean and neat! They are a great office product, especially for the price!!!

Love it!
We love the fact that it has wheels and is easy to move around for cleaning, etc. Easy to assemble!

this worktable/desk is exactly what i was looking for for my office -low profile, narrower than a traditional desk, sleek, and on easily moveable. the surface is beautiful and comfortable to work on. a great find! i'd give it a five, but want to see how it holds up over time ...
