This is a very solid  heavy secretary desk, with a beautiful finish (we purchased the Fairfax Oak finish).  Pretty easy to put together with simple straightforward directions. It was a little taller than I expected but over all a very nice piece of furniture that fits nicely in a small space that’s under 42’ inches. Purchasing an adjustable desk chair would be great to good with it, because of the height.  But overall, I really love this smart looking desk with a top that can be closed to conceal any small project that one is working on.
