A shallow room where posture still matters
A keyboard tray does two things at once: it drops the typing surface below the desk top, and it gives back the strip of surface the keyboard used to occupy. On a 43.3 by 23.6 inch desk both of those matter more than they would on a big one, because there is not much surface to give away. This is the smallest tray model in the range and the one for a genuinely tight room.
The tray runners bolt to the underside of the top along with the frame, so the whole underside is done in one pass while the desk is upside down. Check the tray slides fully out and fully in before standing the desk up; adjusting a runner later means going back under an assembled desk.

Figures as published for this model. Anything that has never been published is left out rather than estimated.
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 11 desks | Where that puts it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top width | 43.31 in | 40 to 55.11 in | Wider than 1 of the other 10 |
| Top depth | 23.62 in | 23.6 to 28 in | Deeper than 1 of the other 10 |
| Lowest height | 28.35 in | 28.3 to 28.35 in | The lowest of the 11 |
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.
Of the 11 desks in this section this is the fifth cheapest: 4 cost less, 6 cost more, and the section runs from $129.99 to $169.99. It carries a published list price of $162.99, so the figure above is below that rather than the usual asking price.
There is no figure here on which it beats everything cheaper in the section, so if none of the 4 below it is missing something you need, the difference is colour, top size or finish rather than capability.
It carries 1,024 customer reviews at 4.4 out of five, with 6 of the other 10 rated higher. Those numbers come from the retail listing and are reproduced rather than curated, including when they are unflattering.
The three desks nearest this one in price, so the comparison is between real alternatives.
The smallest desk with drawers, 40 by 24 inches in white, for a working corner that is not a room.
The default desk with drawers: 48 by 24 inches, black, storage that rises with the top.
The 48 by 24 inch drawer desk in white, which is the version that disappears into a pale room.
