This Secretary desk is really pretty - and the light European Oak look of the finish gives it an updated and modern look.  I assembled it in about 20 minutes with no hiccups - the instructions were easy to follow.  Since the start of the pandemic, both my husband and I have been working from home exclusively - but we only have one office - so it means one of us is relegated to the kitchen table with chargers and cables stretched across the room.  The slim understated design of this Secretary desk makes it really easy to fit into almost any room - which means we can have a second office set-up that is convenient to work from, but also closes up and looks like a side table or credenza when we're not using it for work.  Problem solved!  If you're like me and working from your kitchen table (or some days, let's be honest - the sofa), take my advice and buy this Secretary desk instead.  You won't regret it!
