This is a great little desk. The shelf wasn't as high as i thought it would be but that wasn't a problem. The table space allows me to use my mac computer and my keyboard comfortably, and take notes so there's enough space for books on the desk part too. You can decide where you want the shelves to sit on the bookshelf part too which was handy to set up my printer. Overall a lovely little desk that suits my college studies perfectly. The price was good too. Very sturdy also :) I bought the matching shelf to match!
