What it is for

Most storage desks solve one problem and create another: the drawers arrive but the top shrinks to make room for them. This is the exception at 63 inches wide, which leaves a full working width in front of the riser even with two drawers and an open cubicle underneath. For a room that currently holds a desk, a small filing unit and a shelf, this is the piece that lets two of those three leave.

Check before you order. Check which side the drawer unit sits on against the room before building. The unit is part of the desk rather than a separate pedestal, so it is not a thing that can be slid to the other end afterwards.

What assembly actually means

Longer than a plain desk by roughly half an hour, almost all of it in the drawer unit. Build the drawers and the cubicle as a block first, on the floor, before anything is attached to the frame, then bolt the assembled block to the underside. Doing it the other way round means working upside down under a 63 inch panel.

What it changes

At 63 inches the drawers do not cost working width, which is the usual trade on storage desks.
The rear edge is extended by just under three inches specifically so a monitor clamp has somewhere to bite, which most desks with a riser do not allow for.
A single motor still carries 176 lbs here, so loading the drawers does not put the desk near its limit.

Figures as published for this model. Anything that has never been published is left out rather than estimated.

Where this one sits among the 13

The same figures as every other page in this section, lined up against the section itself. Being the biggest at something is not the same as being the best at it, so the last column says where a number puts this model and leaves the judgement to you.

Figure	This model	All 13 desks	Where that puts it
Top width	63 in	40 to 71 in	Wider than 9 of the other 12
Top depth	27.3 in	23.6 to 30 in	Deeper than 5 of the other 12
Lowest height	28 in	27.9 to 28.35 in	Lower than 1 of the other 12

Ranges cover only the desks that publish the figure at all; a model that has never published one is left out of that row rather than counted as a zero.

What the extra money actually buys

Figures on which this model beats every cheaper desk in the section, rather than beating a convenient one.

Top width 63 in. Wider than every one of the 7 cheaper models that publish this figure, the best of which is 55.1 in.

Where it sits in the range

Of the 13 desks in this section this is the eighth cheapest: 7 cost less, 5 cost more, and the section runs from $139.99 to $359.99.

Against everything cheaper in the section it is ahead on one figure: top width at 63 in. That is the useful comparison, because it is the part of the price you can point at.

It carries 657 customer reviews at 4.5 out of five, which is the highest rating in the section. Those numbers come from the retail listing and are reproduced rather than curated, including when they are unflattering.
