I did a lot of research to find a big but small desk and this was perfect.
I wanted a big or tall desk because I am tall and I hate sitting in small desks where I cant cross my legs or even put my legs up on a little ottoman I have under there. I like how it can be assembled with the shelves on wither side as well as the X bar under the desk. The desk surface area was enough space for my laptop and school books. The desk is not bulky either. The assembly was easy, although I did need an extra pair of hands to put the desk part on. After trying it out a few weeks, I opted to get rid of that X on the bottom of the desk, as I mentioned before, since I am at this desk studying for nursing school, I needed to prop my legs up on a little ottoman and the X bar go in the way. After doing so, the desk was still stable, it did not wobble. It's a good desk.
