This piece is not my favorite. While the dimensions are absolutely perfect, and I will keep this item, the actual pieces were a little bit questionable. First, the maple wood was two very different colors on pieces that were supposed to be connected and look like one long piece. This was annoying. One looks like Birch; the other looks like maple. Then, the first shelf above the desk space is in a ridiculous spot! If you're sitting at the desk, and say you were typing, you have the shelf directly in your face. It would be blocking your view of a laptop on the desk part. There is no way to switch the top shelf and that other shelf, as they are drilled to fit in the order in which it's pictures. We are keeping the desk because we need something that size, but we are considering maybe cutting out part of that first shelf so that the desk can be used to type or write or draw.
