Bought this desk a couple of years ago and although it's a beautiful desk it's not suitable for anyone who works from home. The bar between the legs is annoying and wasn't obvious from the pictures. It kept knocking against my legs so I got a carpenter to put 1 inch "feet" on it to raise it out of the way of my legs. But I've had neck trouble ever since and am now planning to use this as a dressing table instead. The drawers are very handy and it's such an attractive piece that it could work well in the bedroom.
