What are the dimensions of the cubbies in the top area of the desk? Are they required or can they be left out? Wondering if my computer speakers will fit in the cubbies and if not, can I not install them while putting this together.

The cubbies are fairly small. It would depend on the size of your speakers. They measure approx 6 inches by 6 inches.

I had the same issue. It came in three separate boxes. Each side was in its own box and the desktop was in the third box (which was bulky). I assembled each side downstairs in my living room and then two of us carried upstairs before attaching them to each other with the desktop and adding the drawers & doors.

yea you can work without the shelf if you want to if the holes for the shelf pins don't bother you then you're good, you can always makeshift something to cover them up. I was gonna do the same but I needed space management eh, the keyboard part you can leave out as well if you don't need it, and on the sturdy side this desk looks like is gonna be solid for years to come, again make sure you got the space cause this thing is big. The back of the board edges are not laminated but you can always laminate them, but overall its a great looking desk.

Hi Connie, I'm glad that my Amazon peers were able to help you with your question. Enjoy the use of the speakers, they're great!

A laptop would fit but it leaves no work room and yore not able to access the cubbie holes and the drawers. I would suggest a different desk.

I checked the back of the speakers and I did not see anyway they could be hung. Also, they sit on bases screwed to them and they are made to plug into a computer since they have there own amplifier. Finally, they have one plug into the computer and there is no left and right to plug into a stereo.

There are actually 2 cords. One is the USB cable that powers the speakers. The other is the cord that connects to your sound port. The cords are not real long. If your speakers are placed toward the sides of your computer and cords are dropped straight to the floor they will connect to the tower if it is on the floor. If your PC hardware is on the desk you shouldn't have any problems. An extra 12 inches on both cords would have helped a lot to give you more flexibility to move the speakers farther apart.

OK, bear with me as i am travellingcand awsy fromy desk. I can't measure. However i can do this:What is the width between your desk and wall? What is the width of your CPU? The reason I ask is that the stand works as it should, basically making it super easy to move the CPU to access the rear ports and plugs. The stand adjusts to fit the CPU size. Add about 3 inches per side (total of 6" if the brain is still working) to account for the stand. That is my best guess until I return in 10 days.

Jeremiah, Sad to say, I haven't begun assembly of my computer desk. From the appearance of the shipping boxes, it appears that the main top is in two distinct pieces. I have never had difficulties assembling a unit suchas the computer desk. This will be a sizeable task and I know from experience it will take plenty of patience. Sorry I can't give you more info on the assembly. Please don't let assembly questions keep you from the desk.I have seen similar desks and this particular desk should be a good one. Best of luck.....go for it!

I imagine that is the dimension for the central unit, which houses the CD changer, cassette player and ipod dock. The speakers are all roughly the size of the central unit (there are three speakers, but all separate pieces)

They have to built at the same time because you have screw the hutch to a piece on the computer desk before the desk is completely out together. The only thing I can suggest is to take the desk apart up until the point the hutch connects. Otherwise it will take some finessing.

Karen, I think the design of these speakers are only for certain volume (major use is laptop). That is why the speaker power / volum is not designed so loud considering laptop use (most of the time) is in public area. My suggestion is that if you need more power for the speakers use the set that goes with power sub-woofer is the only way.Thanks,Thuc

I would check the desk and the hardware. I got mine with bad pices missing hardware. And it was a nightmare to build. The instructions where poor and horrible!! I wish I had to retunred it. one of the drawers dis not. So it missing the top drawers!! Horrible purchase. Anyway. you can post your email and I'll send ypu a copy of the instructions

That is one of the problem of this system. The cables are very short about 3 ft to max 4 ft. every speaker have to connect to the bass and the base connects with three cables to the back of the computer i.e. the central and left and right speakers. So if you have the unfortunate experience like mine, after a year of use (very minimum use) one of the amplifiers component of the base panel overheated because of poor heat sink, you are left with 5 non functional speakers. The reply from the company is they do not sell the bass unit separately and I think with a little bit of sarcasm told me to buy a new unit and keep the other 5 speakers as spares. No Sir!!! I have made a decision to keep away from this company's product.

I just did a ton of research on this matter for you. My Audioengine A5's are 7 x 7.8 x 10 (tall). It appears as though the speakers you are speaking about are 6.1 x 6.7 x 14.8 (tall). My speakers fit like a glove. There is very little overhang or excess stand on any side. I image that yours will have a bit of extra shelf space. However, I'd bet that these will do the trick nicely. I should mention that I did a bunch of cross-referencing measurements for you. There IS conflicting information about the dimensions of the speakers that you're speaking about. I did my best to find the most accurate sources before commenting. I would go for it! I just did a ton of research on this matter for you. My Audioengine A5's are 7 x 7.8 x 10 (tall).

I haven't had these speakers long, but like them. I'm older and can't read the little switch. I've figured out which is off (obviously), what are the other 2 positions for? Also, noted in the blurb above that the bases are magnetic. Do I need to keep them away from my computer because of that? I've been plugging them into it to recharge. thanks for your help!
