Perfect
Great sturdy table for my hobble set up, and at a reasonable price also

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.

Could be sturdier!
As this is supposed to house a desktop computer it could be more robust. It’s a bit wobbly so I’ve sat it on a mat to make it more stable, and the edges are quite rough so could scratch a hard floor. The overall appearance is good and it serves a purpose, for the price.
Poppydog, 55 - 64, Wirral
Great small desk
I bought and built this for my Dad in his room at the care home to which he has just moved. It was no problem to build, looks good and he is using it daily. The only thing that I would say is that the surfaces facing away from the user are unfinished. In the position that we have placed the desk this is not an issue but it might be for some people

Small
This just looks small and thin. But it fits the purpose I brought it for.

Small desk - great value
Small desk, great value.

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.
Gem
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:-

Hi Britt0305,
We would not recommend for you to spray paint this item. Technically you could but please be aware if you did that it would be classed as a modification and invalidate your warranty.
Thank you for using Q&A.
