This desk is similar to the entryway console.  I bought it because my husband was going in for surgery and I thought he would never make it up the stairs to his man cave.  I placed the desk in the bay window area of the master bedroom.  Again, there are old period pieces in the room.  The desk brings in the new with the old...with wire baskets and edison lights.  Great sturdy look.  Very easy to assemble.  Hum, I looked on other sites for the perfect desk.  This was the winner.
