I love this desk. The end piece without the hutch can act as a standalone separate desk so really it can be a a 2-in-1. I personally only set up the L-shaped portion in my office and set up the other desk in another part of the house. Although it’s particle board it’s made sturdy and there’s a lot of room to move around. My 150 lb mastiff will sometimes go underneath this desk and lay down if that gives you any idea how much space there is under there.
