I got this desk in white.  Loved the style when I saw it and it was on sale so couldn't resist even though the reviews warned that it was too tall.  And it is!!  I plan to cut an inch or so off the legs, but haven't accomplished that yet.  It makes a nice looking piece of furniture in a room, but it is not suitable as a desk even though it has a panel that slides out for writing or your computer.  You just cannot leave anything on it and the ledge in front of the drawers is useless, because you can't open the drawers with something there.  Buy it for the looks but don't expect to use it for a desk!!
