Four open shelves put books, framed photos, and small decorations at eye level instead of stacked flat on the desk, and an anti-falling edge along each shelf stops anything working its way off the back. A black finish keeps the frame visually quiet against a dark monitor and keyboard. The side shelf measures 7-in by 10-in by 9-in for narrow items, and 6.5-in of bottom clearance leaves room for a keyboard to slide underneath. Six hooks lift off the grid panel when they are not wanted, and the 21-lb rack levels on adjustable pads.
