Legare 42-Inch-by-42-Inch Corner Desk, Reversible Natural Oak and Espresso Ash
After converting my den-office to a kids' playroom, I was forced to put my main computer in an unused corner of my dining room, and needed a desk that would use the space well without looking too "office-y" in a part of the house reserved primarily for living not working. I researched every small corner desk in existence, and came away convinced that the Legare 42" Corner Desk was the perfect shape and size, was priced right, and would look as good as a desk in a dining room possibly could. Today I received my desk and set it up and I am thrilled to find that it looks even better in person. I don't normally review many purchases, but since this product had nothing in Amazon, I'm submitting the review I wish I had had the benefit of reading (it could have shortened my research while coming to the same final decision to buy this product).
All the other reviews for the larger Legare products are spot-on... the tool-free assembly truly takes about 1 minute, the pieces fit very well to form a sturdy piece of furniture, and the resulting product looks better than you can imagine from the pictures online. If I can figure out how, I will upload a customer image to accompany this review.
Some observations about this specific desk:
- Unlike the larger Legare desks, this desk (and the other "Reversible" products such as bookcases) is not finished in a real wood veneer. The surface is a laminate, but don't let that scare you. It's not a plasticky-looking sticker like Melamine shelving or cheap furniture from Ikea. It's more like a high-quality laminate flooring like Pergo. There is a subtle woodgrain texture that looks great but isn't so pronounced as to interfere with writing on the desk. I think I actually like this laminate finish better than the real wood veneer because it will resist spills and scuffs better, and it seems remarkably hard and should be difficult to ding or scratch. I've owned some wood desks that got indentations from ballpoint pen writing on the surface, that definitely won't happen here. The edges of the panels are very nicely rounded and finished, the look is really polished.
- A normal office chair with armrests will roll all the way underneath with no problems. There is ample leg clearance.
- The desk has no drawers to speak of, just open shelves on either side of your legs. If you have lots of cluttery junk then you would need to buy some baskets. The shelves are 14" radius quarter circles. I originally envisioned using a small extender to place my mid-tower CPU on one of the shelves, but I later decided it would leave too much ugly computer protruding, and would interfere with my chair. My solution is to put the CPU on a rolling caddy and stick it under the desk towards the back. There it is virtually out of sight but still easy to access the power switch, DVD drive, etc.
- There are no sharp corners or edges on this product whatsoever. Not only does this make it "flow" better in the corner of my dining room, but it was a nice safety consideration for me since my pre-schoolers often run laps around the dining table raceway. Most other products have unfriendly corners that would leave a mark when struck with a forehead or cheekbone.
- As has been said before on other Legare product reviews, the cable routing features are simple and elegant and should allow you to keep most wiring out of sight. When I switch to a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, I will have no visible cables at all.
- The desktop is 29" above the floor. With my current chair, I find this a bit high for comfortable typing. Standard ergonomic recommendation for keyboard height is 28-30", so this desk is "correct", but it just feels too high for me and my chair/posture/whatever. I will probably resolve this with a pull-out keyboard tray. This desk can accomodate a keyboard tray up to 30" wide. Just be sure to carefully select your mounting screws so that they do not go through to the top of the desktop, which is 5/8" thick.
As a final note, my desk was delivered by UPS in a package that looked like it had been run over several times, and one of the panels was damaged on one corner. I e-mailed Legare and within an hour they confirmed they would ship a replacement panel the next day, no questions asked. This is consistent with the support I received before my purchase; I e-mailed them several nitpicky questions about the finish, the color, dimensions, compatibility with other products, etc., and they cheerfully responded right away with informative answers. I am extremely satisfied with the product and the company that stands behind it, and I expect I will be buying additional Legare products as my kids slowly push me and my stuff out of the major spaces in my home.

Mission Oak Corner Desk - Southern Enterprises HO6041
I bought this a few days ago and it arrived today. It was well packed and despite the box looking a bit beat up, all the components emerged unscathed. It took me 90 minutes from sliding the box in the front door to having it assembled and sitting in the corner ready for my 27" iMac (which fits it beautifully, I might add). All the dowels and cam lock parts lined up reasonably well, and I took the time to add wood glue to all the dowels. I found the instructions to be adequate, and EVERY part (wood pieces and hardware) is labeled with a sticker so there is really no excuse in not being able to figure out how to put it together. Most of the parts are particle board veneer with a warm, stained-oak look, but I have to say it is actually a pretty good veneer and would pass for the real thing unless closely inspected. The assembled piece is handsome and sturdy. I am happy with the purchase except for the keyboard drawer. The look and function of it are fine, but the sliders are extremely flimsy and flexy. My keyboard is bouncing up and down slightly as I type this. They were 95% of the way there, and then they cheaped out on this one part. Too bad. I may have to replace the sliders with something better in the future.
Overall a nice piece of furniture. The same thing in solid wood would cost 3-4x as much. The downside to veneer is that if you get chips taken out or the finish gets damaged, there is no real way to refinish it. Face it, it's no heirloom. Aside from the drawer sliders, for the price, it's hard to beat. Corner desks are also very rare, so I am doubly grateful for the find.
- Keyboard drawer
- This corner desk measures 50 inches wide, 33.75 inches deep and 30 inches high.
- Lower half shelf provides storage for books or even your computer to free up desk top.

This corner desk, constructed in the mission style, will give you home office a great place to work without interfering with your room's style. The front drops down to revel a spacious keyboard tray that extends when you're at work. This desk also has a shelf below to store your books out of sight.

Large Working Computer Desk (Medium Oak/Black) (34 1/4"H x 54 1/2"W x 23 1/2"D)
I have had this desk for 6 years now and other than the one leg having a little bend to it from surviving a 1500 mile move, it is still in excellent condition. The construction is solid and there are very few signs of wear and tear, what little there is I have done. The frame is well built and still sturdy, no chipping, peeling or other problems of any kind.
I originally bought it when I was in college, and it was great to study on and work on projects since the keyboard slides underneath the top part. It has a very spacious work top, and when up against a wall with a shelf overhead it helps makes an amazing work space. The shelf for the CPU tower can be mounted on the inside or outside of the leg, I had it inside for a while when I was in a smaller space and needed to be able to open my closet door! There was still plent of leg room under the desk even with the tower there.
It's just a great desk, will probably have it for another 6 years!
