For such a small desk, it's surprising how useful it is to have this as an accessory in my dressing room. And nice to have a desk that is devoid of electronic equipment. As its name suggests, this is a great writing desk. I have it paired with a backless chair-height leather stool that is kept completely under the desk when not in use. Such a small desk can easily be overwhelmed by even a smallish traditional chair, and a backless stool doesn't detract from the beauty of the desk (by hiding it). I actually use this desk more than my vanity, and that says a lot given that the room is a dressing room and not an office. Love it!
