Grandder Gaming Desk 100 x 50 cm (Black) with power outlet, LED lighting, reversible shelves and storage drawer
Product description
If you want a small gaming or home office desk that does more than just hold a keyboard, this Grandder model is built around add-ons: power built in, an LED strip with remote control, and storage on both sides. On paper it’s a neat way to keep your setup tidy, especially in a compact room where you can’t spread everything out.
That said, it’s not a “minimalist desk” with lots of clever features hidden in the background. It’s more of a practical organiser desk, and it may feel like overkill if you only need a flat tabletop and nothing else.
The essentials
This is a gaming desk / home office desk sized at 100 x 50 cm, finished in black, with a carbon-fibre-textured desktop surface and a steel frame. The standout extras are the built-in power sockets and USB-A / Type-C ports, plus an adjustable LED strip that you can control via a remote for brightness and colour.
For storage, you get a reversible shelving system with multi-tier shelves on either side of the desk, paired with drawers that mount with the shelves. There are also extra iron hooks for hanging items like headphones or hats. The overall pitch here is clear: reduce clutter around the workspace while keeping frequently used gear close.
What to know before you buy
The shelving and drawer setup is the biggest factor in whether this desk suits your space. Because the shelves can be installed on either side, you can match it to your room layout and how you use the desk day to day. That flexibility is useful, but it also means you’re committing to a desk design that includes units extending to the sides.
The power setup is also something to consider. It includes two UK-standard sockets and both USB-A and Type-C ports, which is handy for charging a phone or laptop without reaching for separate adapters. However, the desk’s size is still compact, so it helps to think about cable routing and where your power leads will sit before you commit.
You should also be aware that “easy installation” can still be a personal experience—this is described as taking around half an hour to one hour, with no tools needed, but that assumes you’re comfortable assembling furniture.
Where it shines in everyday use
A common moment with small desks is realising how quickly the area around them becomes messy: chargers on the floor, headphones tossed to the side, a box or two stacked where they shouldn’t be. This desk tackles that with the combination of shelves, drawers, and hooks.
For example, you could keep a console or small storage boxes on the multi-tier shelves, put smaller essentials in the drawer, and hang headphones on the extra hooks so they’re ready when you are. Meanwhile, with the built-in sockets and USB ports, your phone or laptop can charge from the desk during work or gaming instead of relying on a separate extension lead.
The LED strip adds mood without needing to redecorate your room. You can switch the brightness and colour tone for focus or a more relaxed gaming vibe, based on what the remote control supports.
The bits that may not suit everyone
This is a feature-led desk, so if you prefer a clean, flat surface with no side storage attached, it might feel bulky. Similarly, if you already have plenty of storage nearby (e.g., shelves, drawers, dedicated charging stations), you may not get full value from the reversible shelving and drawer system.
It’s also worth noting that while the steel frame is described as sturdy and designed to prevent accidental tipping, heavier items still need common sense placement. If you plan to load the shelves heavily, it’s sensible to distribute weight sensibly and avoid stacking in a way that could make the desk feel unbalanced.

Is it worth it?
It’s worth considering if you want a compact desk that actively supports your setup—charging built in, lighting for atmosphere, and storage that’s built around the desk instead of added afterwards. This kind of desk makes the most sense when your workspace is tight and you’d rather keep consoles, accessories and cables organised in one place.
You may want to skip it if you’re after a purely minimal desk, if you already have a separate power station and storage sorted, or if you know you won’t use the side shelves and drawer system. It’s not the kind of product that “disappears” into your room layout, it’s a small workstation with structure.
