EDIT: After having this desk for about 2 months now, the fan function has stopped working. It only works intermittently after having to adjust the wire a certain angle. I've been using this product every so often and there shouldn't be any reason why it is doing this. I bought this product JUST for the fan so as to prevent my laptop from overheating. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that I've had this desk for a couple weeks, I've had a chance to use it. I would have given it a five star rating but there was a factor that I just couldn't ignore. First of all, when I received this desk, the light part of the desk was visibly broken (straight out of the box), so that was a major part of why I gave this product a three star rating. Every product should strive to have a unifying look and characteristics of a strong finish but this product came with a defect so that brought it down all the way to a 3/5. Although batteries were not included, they were easy to install which is another plus as I have seen some where the batteries are hard to install due to some screw that needs to be taken out. Other than that, I really loved using this desk, it has two settings to adjust its legs and the fan is just icing on the cake. I really liked the fact that I could put some stuff in the desk and didn't really expect to use it all that much but I have put some items in it. The whole reason I got it was because of the fan and light aspects. The fan exceeded my expectations and also included some extra USB ports. Unfortunately, I was really looking forward to the light aspect as well but looking at that disfigured portion was really a downer.
