Love all the storage on this desk and you can't see the things you need to store, thus,  this desk was chosen in the end. Looks great. Like that it is narrow for a small space and that you can have it free standing as it has a finished back. Took several hours for one person to put together but manageable until you have to turn it over (takes 2 grown people). Comes in two boxes. Heavy! But makes it sturdy and has nice finishes if you like the style.
