This set is functional. While I like the style, I don’t love the quality (or lack thereof). I’m able to use both pieces without issue. The desk is a good size, but I guess I didn’t pay close enough attention to the dimensions of the file cabinet, because it was smaller than I expected. I put my printer on the cabinet to give me more desk space. Overall I think this set would work for a smaller space, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
