Depends on what the rest of your room looks like, but you'd need to ditch that stupid corner monitor stand and cpu holder.
OP, that is one butt ugly desk… hopefully you haven't bought it yet.
There are far better ones available.

Agreed, I got one of these table tops with matching stainless legs from Ikea after seeing someone on this forum with the same setup. If you add the semi-circular black leather writing pad to shield your forearms from the cold steel then it is a really nice desk.

My advice is to keep it very simple and minimalist just like the iMac. Forget loads of shelves and stuff as this just makes everything look cluttered. I'll post a pic of my setup if I can find one. In the meantime, here is a link to the thread which inspired me to get one of these: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/649044/ (look at post #63)

I guess everyone's table is better than mine.....
I picked up the $3.99 Vika Amon table 100x60cm in white.
I picked up 4 legs ($5 each) in red.
The chair $ 19.99 in red. I guess I was drinking too much coffee and trying to rush out of IKEA....
I do love that place! hahahahha!!
Now, tomorrow is Christmas and I was wondering if the 27" would last or hold up on this setup??
Any thoughts?

Hard to conceive of an uglier desk than this. However, there is one silver lining the contrast with your Mac's design might throw the computer's beauty into sharper relief than ever.
I never cared for "computer desks" - they utilize space poorly. And they "force" you to put certain things _here_ and other things _there_. I want to choose where to put things.
I think the _best_ workspace for a computer is simply a broad, flat "tabletop". Go to an office supply outlet (Staples, OfficeMax) and pick up a "folding leg conference table". They generally come in 30"x60" and 30'x72" sizes, don't look awful, and are reasaonably cheap.
And they look "good enough" when set up.

Don't spend good money on just a table. Use old magazine stacks as legs and
use an old door as the top. Very green.

Goes very well with mine. See my pics. I say go for it...

Of course it will. Silver is paired with all kinds of woods in modern furnishings.
It pairs best with the walnuts and darker woods as black pairs nice with the lighter woods.
Home design is all about contrast to make things pop. You silver imac on a silver desk with a white wall is going to look like a college dorm.
An imac on a rich walnut desk(modern in style though) with a nicely painted wall is not going to look like a dorm.
Man some of these guys should not be giving out design advice.

Some people care about things like this. I don't, neither do you apparently..but some do. Nothing wrong with that.
