Rank #8 in Best Gaming Desk 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Heights That Don't Add Up
Amazon Basics Office Desk, Walnut, 120 x 60 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazon Basics office desk sits at number eight in this guide. It is a fixed, rectangular desk with a walnut top and a black metal frame, listed at £74.99 with a 4.4 rating from 442 reviews. Its Tabletop Thickness field reads 25 Millimetres — and unlike most of the desks in this guide, that is a real thickness, because the bullets describe a solid 25 mm thick PB desktop. The pattern the article describes does not bite here.
The height still splits in two, though. The bullets give 120 x 60 x 73.6 cm (L x W x H) and the Minimum Height field says 73.6 cm, while the Item Dimensions field says 60D x 120W x 75H and the Maximum Height field says 75 cm. That is a 1.4 cm gap between the lowest and highest figure, on a desk whose Style Name field reads "Fixed" — and a fixed desk has no minimum and no maximum. Decide which of the two heights you are measuring your space against. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“For £45 this is simply amazing. The desk is far better than most flat pack desks which are essentially cardboard. This is not solid wood but particle board. Which is again far better than a lot of desks that cost more.Very easy to build too. Simply arrives as the desk top and the two legs.”
Verified purchase“Have been involved in office furniture all my life. Needed a desk for son in a hurry, so ordered one of these. Absolute superb value for money, in fact I am unsure how they can do for the price. Top is very very good and edging excellent. Frames and fixings very good. 10/10 for packaging. Well done Amazon”

Is the height adjustable?
No. The Style Name field says "Fixed", yet the same listing gives a Minimum Height of 73.6 Centimetres and a Maximum Height of 75 Centimetres.
How thick is the tabletop?
25 mm. The Tabletop Thickness field reads 25 Millimetres and the bullets describe a solid 25 mm thick PB desktop, so here the field matches a thickness you could actually measure.
What is the tabletop made of?
The bullets describe a solid 25 mm thick PB desktop, while the Top Material Type field says Walnut Wood and the Top Color says Walnut. The listing names both.
Does it have cable management?
Yes. The bullets list 2 built-in 80 mm grommets for cable control.
How much does the desk weigh, and does it need assembling?
The Item Weight field reads 20 kg. The listing describes simple assembly, with a 25 mm thick PB desktop and durable legs, but gives no assembly time.
