Perfect timing on this drop for me. I'm moving to a new house in less than 30 days and my desk was getting old and beat up. I had just started shopping for a new desk maybe about a week ago and really didn't like what I had found so far. Large desks were either overly intricate or crazy expensive, and cheaper desks were tiny or had stupid features on them. Managed to find this and grab one before the drop ended. And for once with something I ordered on Massdrop, this ships in a week rather than 4-6 months. Really looking forward to this, it fulfills all the requirements I was looking for in a desk (the all black one, which I'm really happy is a Massdrop exclusive because the giant red logo would have killed it for me, and the neon legs would have come close to killing it for me).
My ideal desk: I wanted something at least 60 inches long and 30 inches wide, which my current desk is not so it only fits 2 monitors instead of the 3 + speakers I have. I also wanted something that didn't have anything "extra" on it as far as keyboard drawers, file cabinets, or anything like that. Some drawers on the side for stuff I keep in my desk would be nice, but with this kind of desk I can easily buy a cheap rolling set of drawers to put underneath it. Basically simple, a large surface area to work on that can fit 3 monitors, and no frills as far as the construction. Plus my current desk can't mount monitor arms (it doesn't have a flat lip), so that's another awesome perk to this one considering it's designed for mounting. It was more than I had planned to spend, but I don't like buying low quality junk anymore ever since I started buying well-made equipment and seeing the difference in longevity and just overall quality - plus it's a tax write-off for me!
A longer warranty would have been nice if I'm going to nitpick, something like 4 or 5 years to really get behind the build quality of the desk, but then again even cheap desks last at least 2 years so an all-metal one should be fine if it lasts at least 2 years. Otherwise, I'd be upset, of course. Hopefully this will last me for a long time!

GaleForce@ArozziScott The Drop and your posts keep mentioning mounting monitor arms and such in the cable management holes... how does that work? Are there holes cut out and stitched in the mousepad where the holes are? It looked like, in a review I checked out, that they're now at the edge of the desk but rather a solid 6-8 inches (or more) from an edge. So I was just curious, do you need to get rid of the mousepad if you mount something or does it fit over it? Thanks.

GaleForceI don't have one in front of me to check at the moment but, yes, I guess the cable management/monitor holes are about four inches or so from the back end of the desk. There are slits in the mousepad to allow you to run the cables through or for the monitor arm to fit though...for weight balance only the center hole is for the monitor mounts.

ArozziScottNo problem, I actually found a picture from a review online finally to get a feel for how the cables pass through the mat and the desktop. And as for mounting, yeah I'd only have a reason to mount in the center. Although someone else's idea about a microphone arm was a good idea (I don't stream, but if I did I'd really be into that). They're lightweight compared to 2-3 24"-27" (or whatever size people plan to use) monitors so I'd guess those would be fine (just like mounting it on the side of a desk).
Anyway, for those interested, here's one of a few pictures I found online (attached). Credit to the original review I found the pictures on, as well: https://lanoc.org/review/other/7386-arozzi-arena-gaming-desk?showall=&start=2

GaleForceSitting at my desk right now, here's some measurements for ya:
Left/Right holes - 6.5" from back of the desk to center of hole. Left/Right holes - 7" from side of desk to edge of hole. Center hole - 2.5" from back of the desk to center of hole.
The center hole is offset from the two side holes, distance between L/R holes is ~ 48", distance from L to C is ~23", same from C to R.
Hope that helps!
