Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk is a high-quality gaming desk for the money. Since it is an L-shaped desk, you can have lots of space to keep multiple monitors as well as plenty of components and peripherals. Customers love this desk because it is the perfect fit for smaller rooms and enhances the room decor with its sleek design.
Not only do you have a desktop area to keep all of your stuff, there are two bookshelves you can use to keep games and other stuff. You can even double it as your office desk and keep all your office books and supplies since it has enough space and shelves to do the same.
The desk also looks modern and can fit any kind of room decor. In fact, it looks more expensive than its actual price. It is the perfect desk for those who don’t want any luxuries and want a product that is value for money. This desk has enough storage capacity for a small to medium size gaming setup.
The desk is made with laminated MDF and particle board material with Oak furniture finish. The only thing that needs improvement is that the desk could use a keyboard tray as well as a beverage holder or a headphone hook. Nonetheless, it is a high-utility desk for those who want something spacious for the long-term.
It is easy to assemble and comes with instructions to put everything together without any hassle. The desk comes flat upon delivery and needs two adults for efficient delivery. Its assembly is actually easier than that of other gaming desks. This is because the pieces come with pre-fitted screws that can be inserted inside the designated holes to attach two parts together. This not only makes it easy to set up but also ensures that it is easy to take down when you need to move or transport it. However, once you are done setting it up, you need two people at least to flip it over.
The desktop can support 100 lbs. of weight, so you can put your heaviest gaming components on it without any hassle. The side shelves can hold 35 lbs. each as well, so there is a lot you can keep on this desk. One user mentioned how they built a fully functional gaming setup for just 200 bucks by buying the Homall gaming chair in addition to this desk. This is why we consider it value for money.
There are multiple customer reviews that complain about the quality of the desk. But many positive reviews also explain that you shouldn’t expect anything premium at this price. It isn’t made of premium quality wood, the material is decent and sturdy - that is what counts. Many customers even bought another desk after seeing how good the first one is to complete their U-shaped gaming setup.
An area of improvement is the leg room underneath the smaller side, since one’s legs tend to bump into the side of the book shelves often when using that side.
The company ensures that the product is shipped with proper packaging. It does not come with any scratches or scrapes. On the downside some customers mentioned how the material had started peeling off after a few months of use. This shows the material may not be very durable.
Customer service is responsive. One customer mentioned receiving a prompt refund for the desk because it came with scratches.
Overall, the Ameriwood gaming desk is perfect for those who want a large area for gaming on a budget. It doesn’t come with any frills but has two shelves for dedicated storage of games, books or office files. Its L-shaped design allows you to make the most use of available space in your home.
