ArozziArena Gaming Desk 63" Wide, Ultrawide Curved Gaming and Office Desk, Large Gaming Desk with Custom Monitor Mount & Cable Management Under Desk (Black)

The Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk arrived packaged well, without damage. The instructions to assemble were primarily pictures. There were a few steps that were a bit confusing based on the photos when assembling the rectangle portion that attaches to the desk. I googled a youtube video and was able to correct it quickly. At first, I tightened the screws to the legs in a rotational order and they seemed a bit wobbly. I recalled reading another reviewer's recommendation to tighten in an alternate pattern so I removed the screws and followed that recommendation, which solved the wobble instantly. I think this is a crucial step to anyone that complains of wobbly legs. This desk and solid and extremely sturdy when built correctly! This desk can probably be assembled in 45 minutes or less; however, I spent about 2 hours because I'm a small female, assembled slowly wanting to get it right and also had to research/correct a few steps. I only needed the help of my son when it came time to turn the assembled desk upright and move it to its permanent location. The desk-sized mouse pad fits like a glove and laid flat without any coaxing. All parts appear to be quality material and durable. I also felt more comfortable purchasing after learning that the mouse pad can be purchased separately if it ever needs replacing, as the desktop is three separate pieces and would not function (or look good) on its own. The end result of the assembly is a very sturdy and sharp looking desk.I am not impressed with the cable management system net underneath the desk. It sags in the important areas and doesn't hold the cables and surge protector well. My son has bumped it several times and everything comes tumbling out. I'll be figuring out a different solution to secure the wires (likely with wire wraps and ties) and will be screwing/hanging the surge protector either to the bottom of the desk or behind the desk. For this price and, given the quality of the rest of the desk, it's shocking the Arozzi really skimped in their area of design here. Other than the cable management, I easily rate the desk 5 stars. I wish I would have made this purchase much sooner! The desk looks great with a dual 25" monitor setup using the middle grommet to secure the dual monitor mount. There is plenty of room for everything without being cluttered. I placed the CPU under the desk on a CPU stand and it hasn't affected leg room at all. However, with the sturdiness of the desk, I feel confident the desk could easily hold the CPU, I just wanted to minimize any clutter on the desktop. I also purchased a clip-on cup holder to attach to the desk, which would have been a nice and cheap addition that Arozzi could have included at this price point, especially since I am going to have to invest in a new wire management system due to Arozzi's failed attempt at providing such. I am very pleased with my purchase of this desk, its aesthetics, and its build. My son is thrilled with his new gaming setup and my only regret is I did not purchase this desk for him sooner! If you are on the fence, don't hesitate to buy this desk! It's a larger investment than most of the cheaper gaming desks, but it is definitely worth the price point!Extras I purchased and that you may want to consider with this desk are:***AmazonBasics USB Powered Speakers (these sound nearly as good as the Bose computer speakers I have, but with a smaller footprint and are powered by USB) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DDK3W5D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1***YOY clip-on cup holder (blended right in with the desk, clips tightly on the edge of the desk wherever you want placement and keeps drinks off the mousepad)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FZLQSMN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1***VIVO Dual Monitor Mount (includes c-clamp or grommet mount clamp, we used grommet mount to allow the desk to sit flush with the wall, inexpensive yet durable, probably not the best choice if you are often needing to adjust your monitors' height and rotation)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009S750LA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1***Razor Mouse Bungee v2 (small footprint and solidly built)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FL2LSBH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1***ErgoFoam Foot Rest (Highly recommend this particular one for anyone wanting a footrest, which is a great idea for circulation and posture when sitting for long periods, I'll be buying myself one also to use at work)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W742YZS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1***CPU Floor Stand with Wheels (I am not partial to this one, it's plastic and doesn't move easily on carpet, wish I would have bought a better quality metal stand, but this was inexpensive and does the trick to keep the tower off the floor for air circulation)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1***Gamma Ray Blue Light Blocking Glasses (I did a lot of research before settling on a pair of these for my son, he enjoys using them, they are comfortable and don't cause headaches, great reviews, and inexpensive)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ7KBV4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1***Respawn 110 Gaming Chair (easy to assemble, nice quality look with the desk, comfortable, feel confident it will hold up several years, word of caution is don't lean on armrests pushing outward as they will loosen and need retightening)https://www.amazon.com/RESPAWN-110-Racing-Style-Gaming-Chair/dp/B076HT2RFQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=23KSG9M4A427A&keywords=respawn%2B110%2Bgaming%2Bchair&qid=1579434923&sprefix=respawn%2B%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-4&th=1

After tons of research I was stuck deciding between the Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk and the Turismo Racing Autodromo desk. At first the inner child in me had me order the autodromo because of the LED light and the reviews that the desk was sturdier than the Arozzi. However stock issues had me cancel my Turismo Racing desk order and I instead ordered the Arozzi for about half the cost on Amazon (More on this at the end of the review).Lets start with shipping: Amazon is no nonsense when it comes to shipping your product. The desk said it would arrive in 2 days and it did. Big Kuddos to Amazon. Turismo Racing was giving me the run around with shipping details on their desk and I got fed up and asked to cancel my Order.Packaging: The desk is packaged EXTREMELY well and the box was in really good shape on arrival. No damaged parts and everything was divided up logically in the box. I recommend you either get help moving the box, or open it and take the pieces out to make moving the desk easier. The full box is HEAVY and I struggled to get it from my front porch to my stairs. There was NO WAY I was going to carry the box up the stairs to my office.Instructions: This is probably the weakest thing about this desk. The packaged instructions give you a general idea on how to put the desk together, but there is only pictures and emojis no actual words. I highly recommend you watch the youtube video on how to put the desk together and use the instructions as a supplement.Assembly: I am pretty terrible at putting things together and had a couple of hiccups along the way including installing the feet facing the wrong way, but once I figured it out it wasn't terrible. I took my time with it and probably had the whole thing put together in an 90 minutes. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you tighten, and then retighten ALL screws. Especially the screws that go to the bottom of the legs to attach the feet. The allen wrench that is included with the desk will work but you have to make sure you tighten the screws and then turn the wrench so that you are also tightening it by twisting the long side of the wrench too. What I noticed is that the machine threading needs to be broken in. That is to say while it seems like all 4 screws are tight, when you tighten 1 of the 4 screws on each foot the other 3 will loosen up again. Keep tightening until all of the feet screws are super secure. This is the #1 REASON the desk will wobble. If your feet aren't super tight the desk WILL wobble. Also if you make any leg length adjustments make sure you also completely retighten the screws in the inner part of the legs again to ensure no wobble.Sturdiness:Desk feels super sturdy and if assembled correctly has no wobble that other reviewers have mentioned. Keep in mind that the table top of the desk comes in 3 pieces that snap together. Arozzi says that this is to make shipping easier and keep the cost down which definitely makes sense.Arozzi vs Turismo Racing 2 cents:I believe the Arozzi desk at the current price point of $259 is a MUCH BETTER value than the Turismo Racing Autodromo. Turismo Racing boasts a sturdier desk with wireless charging and a blue LED light, but they also charge $500 for their desk. If the Arozzi is assembled correctly there are no sturdiness issue. Furthermore if you really wanted to add wireless charging and an LED light to the Arozzi desk you can add those yourself with a little DIY and still have a lot of money left over.

Super solid and very good quality.
