- Is the Fern desk big enough for a monitor and a laptop?
- Yes. The 48 by 20 inch top fits a monitor plus a laptop, though a dual-monitor setup will feel tight on the 20-inch depth. Measure your monitor stand before buying.
- Is it solid wood?
- No. The top and frame are MDF with a wood-grain finish, which keeps the weight and cost down but is not solid hardwood. Expect a painted or veneered look rather than natural grain.
- How tall is it, and will my chair fit under it?
- It is 30 inches tall, the standard desk height, so most office chairs slide under it. Check that your chair's armrests clear the 30-inch apron.
- Does it have cable management?
- No. There is no grommet or cable tray, so plan on clips or a under-desk basket if you have several cords.
- What is in the box?
- The desk ships flat with the top, legs, drawer and hardware for assembly. Tools are usually included, but a screwdriver helps.
- How does it compare with a desk that has a hutch?
- The Fern is lower and more open, which suits small rooms. A hutch desk adds shelves and storage but takes more visual space and is harder to move.
