This desk is exactly what I was looking for - enough desk space on top for my laptop, second screen, and lighting; the two drawers keeps my desk looking tidy as I can put away my keyboard/mouse/notebooks when not in use, and the compartment in the back hides all the chords. I've had it for a few months and it's held sturdy. Assembly instructions weren't that clear but examining the photos helped. One thing to note is if your office chair has arms and you like to sit close to your desk (as I do), make sure the arms fit under the desk as you lose height bc of the drawers (5" from top).
