Fantastic desk --- looks fantastic, extremely study, and cable management is amazing.
I was looking for a desk as I transition to working mostly from home. As we are currently in a video-game level of crises (pandemic, riots, etc.), many desks were sold out. But I am glad they were as I probably would have purchased something else before stumbling onto this desk.My wish list for a desk consisted of the following features: big enough to fit dual monitors and a laptop dock, a slide-out keyboard tray wide enough to fit a full-size keyboard and mouse, cable management, good looking, and well-built. This desk (BDI Sigma 6901) checked all of those boxes perfectly.The desk is 66" long and 24" deep - plenty of room for everything. I'll provide some dimensions you can't get from the manual or any reviews. The internal (more important) dimensions of the keyboard tray is 2" high, 26" wide, and 13" deep --- so it can fit my wide keyboard and mouse easily with room in the back to charge my phone (something I didn't think I'd want, but it's actually very convenient --- especially with the great cable management). Note -- if you own a keyboard with a riser or an ergonomic keyboard, make sure you measure how tall your keyboard is at its peak. I did have to swap out my Microsoft ergonomic keyboard (a very good keyboard) as it was too tall. The bottom of the keyboard tray sits 25-3/4" above the ground. I have my chair sitting up fairly high and have no problem getting my knees tucked under (inches to spare in fact). Also, the keyboard tray is self-closing. You do have to pull a bit to get the tray out, but it does not bother me. The mouse-friendly insert is a bit too sticky for my mouse, but I just put in my previous mouse pad. You can always take out the insert, but I found it helped keep the keyboard and mouse pad from moving around.I thought the cable management on this desk would be good --- it's actually AMAZING. It has two rows of cable management that connect from three wide slots at the top of the desk. The rows are wide enough to fit the power cord bricks and even my laptop dock. The power strip shelf is another defining feature of this desk --- enabling me to plug in up to 7 power cords while only one cable runs down the back left table leg to the wall outlet. The desk also comes with a small cable management tube that can be adhered to the table leg for further hiding of the power cord. The magnetic panels work very well and are thick enough that I don't worry about cables bursting out.Look at the pictures to see how many cables I have hidden. Note the remaining cords dangling are charging cords leading from the power strip to the keyboard tray (to recharge my phone and wireless mouse and for my wired keyboard). These cords cannot be seen once you walk within 10 feet of the desk (and you could add some cable ties to further hide the cords).Finally, the desk looks and feels beautiful. The glass top is very tick and is cool to the touch. The desk frame is metal and is solid enough to satisfy those who would say "they don't build them like they used to". This desk is not cheap, but in my opinion this desk is not overpriced.Assembly was very straight forward - about a dozen bolts in all. While I assembled it myself, I agree the instruction manual's recommendation for two people at key steps is correct --- especially in placing the glass desk top on the frame. This desk is heavy, so definitely assemble it in its intended destination.If anything changes from my first week of use, I'll update this review.

Fantastic high quality desk, tech friendly
Fantastic desk. It’s not cheap, but I’d still say it is a good value. It’s a really good looking desk with extremely practical technology elements. The assembly was perfect. Really high quality parts made it easy.
