Default Anyone have this desk? What are your thoughts on it?

Does anyone have any experience with this desk? I know it's dirt cheap, but I need one badly. My current l-shaped desk is falling apart and all wobbly. So, what do you think of this desk?

If I get it, it's going up against a corner and I'll be mounting my monitors on the wall as well as the speakers. So, that should clear up some desk space for the iMac and eMac computers for work.

I used to have that desk, and it's fine. Not the most stable thing in the world, but it's a good deal for $90. Just gets a little annoying staring at your feet all the time, and you can see every bit of dust and cables.

I am using this desk now. Love it, yes I have to clean it pretty often, but it's stable, not shaky at all, pretty large, and looks very nice. It also can come apart for transporting pretty quick, I can have it in 2 pieces to get it through doors and such in 5 minutes.

I have a $150 or so version from Staples I think, my wife has some other version I bought used for $70. Mine is much better quality than hers, and is close to sqaure as well (hers is pretty bad, glass barely fits it is so off).

I say check out a display model and make sure it looks good for you. I like being able to see my G15 through it at night!
