I bought this desk for my granddaughter who is in the 5th grade, with lots of homework! She absolutely loves it! It is very sturdy, good size, and very nice to look at.  She uses the shelf underneath not for a keyboard, but explained to me that she actually stores things there and can even open some of her large, heavy books in it and read through the glass. It's a very classy looking desk and because of limited room in her bedroom, she has moved it into the front room and it blends in very well. 

Pros: All over great desk.
