The desk is solid and functional while being discrete and smart. As many people need to work from home but don't have the luxury of a dedicated home office, this is an ideal solution. It is smaller than you would normally expect in an office but it is a good compromise. The instructions could be better. They vary from adequate to downright misleading with images not really matching the written instructions but if you have some flat-packed construction experience you will get there after about 90 expletive laden minutes.
