I have a tiny New York City apartment but need a desk for work.  This fits in a very small space and the footprint when the desk is close is very reasonable.  I also appreciate that unlike other small desks, this has an open area for your feet--I have am under-desk elliptical machine underneath it.  I did have to hire someone to assemble it (I lack the tools, the know-how, and especially the patience) but the added price was still worth it.
