About this product
The Argos Home Office Desk gives you a proper workspace without claiming too much room in your home. It's built for getting through emails, paying bills, or helping with homework, and it fits comfortably into smaller spaces. The beech-effect finish looks tidy and works with most room styles. There's a sturdy frame underneath that holds up to daily use, and a fixed shelf at the base keeps files, folders and books within reach. The desktop's generous enough for a laptop and phone side by side, so you've got what you need close at hand.
The compact size means it tucks into spare bedrooms, alcoves or corners without dominating the floor space. Chair space underneath measures 66cm high and 50.5cm wide, so you can sit comfortably without your knees hitting the frame. The desk holds up to 12kg, enough for everyday office equipment and stationery. Wall-mounting required for safe use, fixings and instructions included. Self-assembly needed, two people recommended for easier setup. Comes with a manufacturer's one-year guarantee.
- 1 fixed shelf.
- No easy cable access.
- Self-assembly - 2 people recommended.
- If this product is over 60cm high it must be securely attached to the wall to prevent overturning.

Customers Say
Compact, affordable desk ideal for small spaces. Easy to assemble for many, though some find instructions poor. Sturdy enough for laptops but may wobble; finish quality varies.

Basic but pretty sturdy
This is a very basic desk, but perfect for what I wanted. I needed something simple to put my overlocker on and this is just the right size and sturdy enough.

Great little desk
Found the desk really helpful, exactly what We needed

Good, but too expensive for what it offers.
It is a standard desk, built with minimal attention to finish and maximum attention to keeping costs low. The back face, the one that is not visible in the image is not even finished in beech effect. It does what it says on the tin, in the sense that it is an adequately sturdy desk that you can use to work on, but the price is in my view too high for the quality of materials and attention to detail.

Poor
Some of the screws not big enough and there was dent on corner.

Nice small desk
Bought two Weeks ago. Nice desk, very small which is what I wanted. Put it together myself with no problems. Just think there's a lot of parts.

Perfect
Great sturdy table for my hobble set up, and at a reasonable price also
Jinx, 45 - 54, Suffolk
Does the job, not very sturdy.
Needed a fairly small desk and took a chance with this one. Good price and easy to put together. Looks ok but it's not the most sturdy thing and will wobble from side to side. Just wide enough for the legs of a small desk chair.

Very solid
Very good quality, a good solid design, does exactly as advertised.

Thanks for using Q&A
Hi Mark
The maximum advised load capacity of the Home Office Desk - Beech Effect is 12kg.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Tc,
The maximum load capacity of the Argos Home Office Desk - Beech Effect is 12kg, so as long as the dual monitor arm with 2 x 24 inch monitors on it does not exceed this weight it should be fine.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello Dee,
The Home Office Desk - Beech Effect is H72cm x W70.5cm x D50cm.
Maximum load capacity of desk 12kg and as this product is over 60cm high it must be securely attached to the wall to prevent overturning.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Tacy
The pre-drilled holes on the underside of the tabletop would have to be re-drilled to facilitate these changes, it would, unfortunately, negate the warranty if alterations were made.
Thanks for using Q&A.
It should do. Yes. The actual tabletop sticks out about an inch from the legs.
No, sorry it wouldn’t
Hi Lesley,
Yes, this will be fine for use for light crafting purposes.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Yes it should be, my daughter has both her laptop and computer on the desk plus all her stationary
It does have a slight wobble to it. I use mine for a laptop and a few books which are efficient enough. I would imagine if you were making models or cardmaking it would be suitable but not to stack anything too heavy on top of it.
Hi,
I've looked into this for you and due to the way the legs and supports are positioned on this item, the space under the desk measures approximately 66cm high, 58cm wide and 33cm in depth.
Also, the measurement for the leg space board is 60cm x 16.5cm .
Hope this helps :)
Thanks for using Q&A.
It's 60cm x 16.5cm and it's attached, I tend to rest my feet on it, very sturdy.
Hi there
Having checked with the supplier for you I can let you know
the maximum load capacity of desk is 12kg so if the sewing machine is less 12kg, it should be fine
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Ste,
The top of the desk measures 70.5cm x 50cm, which should be enough room for a ps4 and a 24 inch gaming monitor.
Thanks for using Q&A.
I would have thought so. It's not big, but it's good quality and price for what you get, and great for a simple useful table
Hello sheepy
I would advise that this Office Desk - Beech Effect has the following dimensions:
Size H 72 cm, W 70.5 cm, D 50 cm.
Maximum load capacity of desk is 12 kg.
You would need to ensure your desk top and printer would indeed fit.
There is a Functional PC Trolley on our website which may be better suited for your needs - please see link below:-
