I searched high and low for an L-shaped desk that would be functional, stylish, and fit my limited space. I would have been comfortable spending 2-3 times the price of this one if I found something better. I chose this one because it met my size criteria but I knew I was getting what I paid for. The word "executive" in the title is a bit exaggerated. The structure itself is fine and sturdy. Assembly was an all-day project with limited instructions that required some guesswork. The file cabinet is not very large so don't expect to get very much utility out of it. I want to add an under-mount keyboard shelf and pencil draw but I'm concerned the 9/16" thickness of the desktop and particle board construction is not strong enough to support them. I am considering reinforcing it with a layer of solid wood and Gorilla Glue to make it work (fingers crossed). So long as you accept that you're buying a budget-priced, petite-sized, DIY project, it's worth the money.
