I was wondering if it would be ok to remove that metal bit underneat the desk (its for cable management).

Yeah it'll be fine.

Okay, cheers its because my legs are long XD.

It will be a lot less stable if you do though

Well il find out tommorow.

no it wont be fine, that bit gives it allot of its rigidity.

I know im type from one right now.

That said mine is quite abit higher than normal. if the desk top is lower down i might be alright.
Normal sized people hate sitting at my desk because they are typing at shoulder level.

Has anyone removed this before, because it blocks my legs

Take it out, it'll be fine!

It's not rocket science.

Take it out if, it's wobbling too much then put it back in and find another desk.

I wouldn't remove it. Its essential to the structural frame, you can remove it if you want but you'll soon find it will wobble and break.

this.

when I saw your post I quickly read it and assumed you wanted to buy the desk, now I read you have it and are asking is it that hard to try it?

C'mon.

That's not a lot of desk for £95 either
