This desk is a great value for what it costs. The size is perfect for a laptop / graphic design work setup. I will use it in my small loft apartment with a side chair. The materials are durable, but it takes a while to put together. Also, the drawers are a little off-kilter even after fine tuning and screwing them in. I don't think anyone will notice, but my stink-eye for design does. I'd recommend this desk to anyone who isn't looking to break the bank and doesn't mind manmade materials. It will work great with the rest the mid-century modern setup I'm working on.
