Love the Swoop desk! Have always admired teh Nelson but wanted a reasonable desk for my 14 year old daughter. We also ordered the tired open shelves in lobster and love them! A great look adn sturdy pieces!

everything I needed!
Date: 08/21/2009
This desk is the perfect purchase for what i needed! great size, its not too big, but big enough for my laptop, notebook, drink,, notepads, pens, EVERYTHING i need to use! I read some other reviews saying that it was too top heavy, but I did not find this problem at all. The legs are very sturdy and it feels very safe to use. The price is the thing that makes this desk the best choice to make.

Swoops like a Swag
Date: 08/12/2009
I am very happy with the Swoop Desk. Pretty easy to assemble. It has great style and is a very worthy stand in for the Nelson Swag Leg Desk. Definitely swoops like a swag and looks great in my 'atomic' loft!

Nothing fit together
Date: 08/06/2009
I tried for DAYS to put this together, my mom and boyfriend tried equally as hard to get this thing up. Unfortunately, it was literally impossible. The holes cut in the top were not far apart enough to compensate and connect correctly to the metal frame. Also, the small screws did not connect to the large holes in the metal back piece that was a primary support piece. I'm not sure if mine was just botched or if this is a common occurrence, but it was absolutely impossible. Its beautiful and I was really hoping that it would have worked. I have bought other items from CB2 and have been wonderfully impressed, but this was not one of these items.

Sweet Swoop
Date: 04/27/2009
For years I have swooned for the Nelson swag but couldn't quite bring myself to spend that much. The swoop desk has a similar silhouette at an affordable price. It was everything I expected and it looks swell in my swinging pad!

Mid-Century style at an affordable price
Date: 03/19/2009
Work on a piece of art, this desk affords you the style and space saving features all for a minimal cost. You even have storage options with the two drawers. Built in cord cutouts provide added convenience all giving you all the high-tech advantages at a low cost point. The tubular steel base gives the piece an airy look blending into any office environment.

Swoop Desk
Date: 03/19/2009
Great looking desk, but where do the wires go? I think this desk should take into account that most laptops require a plug in and should incorporate that into it's design. Also, it would be nicer to have more room shots for decorating ideas

great desk!
Date: 02/16/2009
It's very pretty. The pictures totally do it justice. If you like what you see on cb2.com, you'll probably like the real thing.
My big, curved keyboard fits in the nook between the drawers, with the power brick for my laptop. The drawers are big enough for pens, glasses cases, a small camera, camera cables, extra batteries, card readers, etc.
The wire cutouts are small but practical. The two on the top are just big enough to get monitor cables through if you do it in the right order, and the bottom one is bigger.
The build quality is very good for flat pack furniture. It goes together easy because all the hardware is there, and all the wholes are in exactly the right place.
They compare it to the nelson swag, and it's a good comparison. I lusted over the swag for a while before I found the swoop. I'm glad I didn't fork over for the swag. It might have a fancy pedigree, but for modern tasks, it's way less practical.
It's not 100% perfect though.
It's a bit top heavy, so I'd be nervous putting a big fancy monitor on the top shelf (especially since I have mine on carpet, which makes it slightly wobbly).

Also, I'd love it if it had a small cable management tray underneath in the back. I may be alone in that though, since no other desk anywhere has a such a thing (especially not one that looks this good).
